Crescent Nicholson 10" File Card and Brush | 21467

This file card brush does the job effectively. I was surprised how good a job the bristle brush side did to clean a wood file. I haven't had a chance to use the metal bristles to clean out a file after metal work, but they look like they would do the job. I recommend it.

What's to say. It does it's job and does it well for the price. It is sturdy and well made. Don't use the metal brush to scratch your back, the nylon brushes are much more suitable and less injurious.

Nicely made.

As mentioned in other reviews: if you have files, you need a file card! Recently, metal machining has piqued my curiosity; I have viewed many videos online and read many forums about various machining techniques. There are many different ways to build/assemble/modify metal parts and materials. (I've just begun to scratch the surface.) What surprised me is how often files are still used in the modern machine shop. (I've owned and used files for years, but not like machinists do.) What I quickly learned is that a file is a tool, just like any other. If you want any tool to last longer and function at its best, you want to keep it in top shape. This is what a file card is for. Every time you're finished using your file, you should clean it with a file card. Upon realizing this, I ordered this file card. Once I received it, I cleaned all of my files (about six) thoroughly. After a few minutes, I had a pile of shavings and rust on my workbench from files that I had thought were relatively clean! Well worth the money.

Absolute must have for any filing.

File teeth full of wood and metal can slow you down. This fixes that problem. Be aware that the sticker adhesive is a little stubborn, but comes off with a plastic razor and cloth wet with rubbing alcohol.

This file brush is a true must-have for any craftsman, tradesman, or fabricator. Files really do become dirty and their performance decreases unless they're maintained. This brush performs quickly and I find myself using far more than anticipated. I would highly recommend this.

Got this today. Have not used it. It seems to be a good addition to my yopl chest

this is good for cleaning out your paintbrushes you an rest it on a surface and brush the paintbrush against it or hold your brush still and brush this against your brush

I required this type of metal brush along with the tough bristle brush to clean files. Works great. I am using it with small size files for precision work. This brush removes the debris caught inside of the file serrations. It was designed to work with larger files but works well with the small ones. The bristle brush also works very well. I found the overall quality to be excellent. It does the job the way I expected. For handling and keeping a grip on the handle, it fits my hands very well. What I also like is it is marked, "USA" on it. Not many of these types of products are still made in North America or Europe. If you need a good quality file cleaner with a metal type brush and a rear side bristle brush, I would recommend this one.

This is an excellent tool to clean wood and metal files. A bit pricey but well made and easy to use.

A quality tool with a large, solid wood handle and good bristle brush and file comb faces. Highly recommended.

Good quality time card.
