Tsubosan Hand tool Workmanship file set of 5 ST-06 from Japan

Great general use files to have no matter what you do. Quality is a level above everything else I’ve used. Comes in 5 different shapes: flat, have round, square, circle and triangle. Feels great in the hand and produces a great cut.

I've struggled along with cheap miniature files all my life. The are good quality with a nice feel to the handles.

Although these are a bit larger than most "needle" file sets, they're incredibly well made and I've yet to find a situation where the larger size was a detriment. Larger also means the handles are much more comfortable to grip. The files also seem to cut better than other single files that cost me more than this set did. These are an incredible bargain and the files I always reach for first.

The other reviews were right. Solid files, slightly larger than some microfile sets but for my purposes are perfect. They measure 7 3/8” overall length of which actual filing surface is 3 1/4”. Much stronger than the typical microfiles as well. The square and round files are ~ 1/8” diameter, the equaling file is 3/32” thick and goes from 1/4” at tip to 17/64” at the top. The equaling and triangular file have cutting surface on the sides, no smooth edge. Under normal circumstances these should not flex or bend. Cutting is just slightly more “aggressive” than the usual microfiles but I would say is perfect and the others being too little. Well worth the slightly greater cost if these fit your need.

Awesome file set, great price. They are small, not necessarily small enough to be called needle files but pretty close. Only subtracting a star because there's no case, sleeve, or anything. That would have made them perfect.

Fantastic little files that feel like they'll last a long time. I primarily use it to file down brass pins and finely detail pieces of wood. So far I've noticed no decrease in performance, but with how affordable they are and how well they smooth I have no complaints. I also appreicate that they're pretty small. Fits well in the upper shelf of my cantilever toolbox.

I've had them for about a year now and they are great files. I've used them on mild and hard steel, brass, copper, wood and bone. The files are still as sharp as new. They are small so just take care to not put a lot of force on them or else they'll break. Will be looking into buying more Tsubosan files.

Finally nail files that actually work! These are great. I use them for silversmithing.
