Sutton M305M011 Barrette Needle File 160mm - Swiss Made, Pack of 12

The Sutton M305 needle files are 160 mm long, Swiss made precision files with an integrated round handle, in 12 profiles: pillar, pillar (round edges), half round, crossing, knife edge, warding, three square, square, oval, round, barrette and crochet. Each item is a pack of 12 files of the one profile, and orders are in multiples of 12.

Needle files are small precision files for fine finishing, deburring and shaping in tight spaces. These are made from high carbon steel with a smooth cut that is designed to leave a fine surface finish, and the round handle is part of the file, so there is no separate handle to fit.
