PFERD Diamant-naaldvijlset, 5-delig, korrelgrootte D 126, 140 mm, in onbreekbare kunststof doos, voor universeel gebruik in de gereedschapsbouw

Great item. Exactly as described.TY.

Man muß wissen, zuvor habe ich mit wesentlich günstigeren Feilen gearbeitet. Es ist absolut kein Vergleich. Wirklich eine lohnende Investition. Schlüsselfeilen wären für meine Arbeiten zu groß, diese sind die richtige Wahl gewesen. Zur Langlebigkeit kann man nach 4 Wochen natürlich nichts sagen. Aber empfehlenswert ist es, des Handstück mit zu bestellen. Einfach aus praktischen Gründen. Die Handhabbarkeit ist einfach besser.

I am a serious firearms hobbyist and reloader, and own perhaps 200 files of various materials and types, including perhaps 20-30 diamond files. These I use to deburr, and smooth, and occasionally substantially reshape machined surfaces on firearms and accessories that may have rough surfaces from the factory. My experience with diamond files is that the relatively inexpensive sets one obtains from mail-order or big-box stores typically suffer from two issues: 1) the diamond coating is not very uniform, with occasional larger stones that can gouge your workpiece at inopportune times, and 2) the diamond coating is not reliably fixed to the steel carrier layer, with the coating flaking off to various degrees upon hard service. The Pferd diamond needle files have extremely uniform coatings of diamond grit that appear to be exceedingly well and firmly attached to the steel substrate. I have used them extensively on fine and medium work and have as yet no complaint about gouging or flaking of the diamond coating. As I learned long ago (but occasionally forget) it is always worth paying a premium price for good tools.

These files were absolutely magnificent, but are a a lot more course than I was anticipating, I would say roughly 80 grit! But still very many applications that these files work perfect for!

Really nice files. Made in Germany. Great for detail work. I bought 1 of the Pferd small size plastic file handles which works great. Ultimately for the type of work you're likely to do with these files you don't really need the file holder, they work fine bare in your hands.I look forward to buying more Pferd files in the future!
