Description

Round Rat-Tail File, 11.5cm Total Length, 8cm Working Length

Brief Overview

This round (rat-tail) file is engineered for precision metalworking tasks where access to tight spaces and internal radii is critical. The tapered cylindrical design with uniform diagonal cutting teeth delivers controlled material removal without chatter. The 8cm working length provides ample reach into confined areas—ideal for deburring, smoothing internal diameters, and detail finishing work. The grey ferrule and ergonomic black plastic handle ensure comfort and durability during extended use.

If you work primarily with flat or curved surfaces, consider complementary options like our half-round file blade for broader coverage, or explore our semi-circular file for versatile flat and curved applications.


Key Features

  • Tapered Cylindrical Design: Reaches tight internal radii and confined spaces inaccessible to standard files
  • Uniform Helical Cutting Teeth: Delivers smooth, controlled cuts with minimal vibration
  • Hardened Steel Construction: Maintains sharp cutting edges through repeated use
  • Short, Solid Handle: 5mm diameter black plastic handle offers secure grip without fatigue
  • Ferrule-Reinforced Tang: Grey ferrule prevents splitting and extends handle life

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Demand Precision Tool: Essential stock for mechanics, toolmakers, and general metalworkers
  • Compact, Durable Design: Minimal defect rates; long shelf life with no special storage requirements
  • Bulk Order Appeal: Mechanics and small shops regularly purchase files in sets; this size is frequently reordered
  • Margin-Friendly: Cost-effective manufacturing allows healthy reseller margins
  • Cross-Sell Potential: Pairs naturally with flat and semi-circular files, expanding basket size per customer order

Why Resellers Choose This Product

The 8cm working length strikes the ideal balance—long enough to reach deep into workpieces, yet compact enough to maintain control in tight spaces. The tapered design eliminates the need for multiple files in a toolkit, reducing inventory complexity while covering a broad range of hole and radius sizes. The hardened steel construction resists wear, ensuring consistent performance across hundreds of jobs before replacement becomes necessary.
