I ordered this set to help with refining the removal of excess wood from my wooden models prior to finishing off with a fine sanding.
Just what I needed for that interim step between use of a power tool and the final smoothing with sandpaper!
I bought these for filing miniatures but ended up using the larger one to shave a piece off my garage door to stop it sticking. They’ve been great for both purposes.
Excellent selection of files!
I never knew how much I needed them, until now.
They get a lot of use and still work as if new!
The case makes it even better, for storing.
Good investment!
I needed a new file and saw this. Well worth the money, a nice choice of files from intricate work to robust work and every shape you would need a file for.
This is a good quality set of files that will cover most jobs you are likely to encounter. The handles are comfortable and fixed in securely. The case holds everything neatly and securely and zips up when you want to move or store them. The only file that isn’t there is a big bastard file for roughing off lots of material but it is easy to purchase that separately.
I only needed a cheap set of files to work on some guitar parts that needed widening. On the first use the handle of the large round file came off entirely. I managed to glue it back on with Gorilla glue and it’s stayed put since.
I managed to complete the task at hand and haven’t had any other handles come off. Maybe it was a one off?
Nice set of files for the price, however two of the smaller files the handles were loose and fell off when removing from the case. overall the item was still usable for what i required.
Very much as it says on the tin! The set of files comes in a nice zip pouch, the files themselves have individual pockets for the tips and elastic straps for the handles to make sure they stay in place.
The files are of good sturdy quality, I’ve used mainly the smaller needle files for miniatures and they’re doing a great job. With care these should last a long time.
I have been battling on the old files all my life so when I saw these I thought why not, a good idea of mine for a change. they do the job very well not the best on the market but very close. they have done everything I wanted them to do just took that little bit longer than a moor expensive set would have done. still a good buy and yes I would buy them agai
I was going to buy a metal file, and another set of small files as I had broken one, then I saw this COMPLETE set, come on, how can you go wrong.
Oh and they work perfectly.
The only small really annoying thing is the zip on the case, it goes too far in and is a real bugger to get back out when zipping up, a small price for a great set and cured with a few stitches.
Arrived as expected and the files seem fit for purpose but only time will tell. What isn’t so good is the case and it can only be best described as being “cheap” and “nasty”. The zip on the case was already broke upon arrival so the case doesn’t close properly and the case itself probably wont last long overall.
Eamo
Really great quality at an amazing price! I checked out quite a few others and they were at least double the price, and offering less files, so this option from Rolson seems a bargain. Having now used them a few times, I am pleased to say that they are extremely well made, so I cannot see any compromises on quality for such an amazing price.
If you are a person who needs them for work or a serious hobby i would move on but if you are like me and will use them now and again they are great for the price and they come in a case.
If you are a weekend tinker or just need to smooth something off now and again these are up to the task.
Good value files. I have not used these yet but they appear suitable for general DIY and other types of work requiring a file. The addition of a zipped pouch is good as they fit neatly into this and it is useful for carrying around. Not a top of the range product but ideally priced.
By any reckoning this is superb value for money. The files look well made and are certainly fit for general purpose use. The handles are securely fitted and look good too. Obviously no file is indestructible and will wear out quickly if (ab)used on very hard material. It is too early for me to say what these files might or might not withstand. I have used some of the files on hard plastic filler and they worked efficiently giving a smooth finish and did not clog unduly.
The pouch is an important bonus as I do not really want files rattling about loose in my tool box, as they damage other tools not to mention each other. The pouch is well made of tough nylon with a freely running zip around 3 edges. It’s neither a fault nor any problem, but a little care is needed when inserting or removing the files as they are otherwise inclined to abrade the elastic securing loops, as files do.
Nevertheless the files function well, and I managed to cut a key with the file set easily.
The pouch itself is durable, however the zips on the outside don’t zip up fully due to design, and the elsatic fabric used to hold the files in place inside the pouch look flimsy.
Overall a very nice set, very reasonably priced!
There are a total of 16 files in the set, a big range of sizes, and I can’t imagine many jobs where there isn’t the suitable size available.
The files themselves come supplied with a zip-up carry case.
Pretty pleased with them, better than expected, and yet another good value product from Rolson.
