TAM74104 Tamiya Tools - Basic File Set - Smooth Double-Cut

Excellent quality and very effective files. Very pleased with the product.

for crafting hobby

Seem like a rather short term solution/tool for a specific job, probably not very durable and could see how they Could arrive damaged, However at a nice price the actual file grit quality is fairly decent and the handles are okay.

well-made, good weight, shapes of files make unusual filing jobs way easier and much faster. highly recommend for modeling and rocketry

I use these to file mold lines off of plastic miniatures. I'm not very good at it, but they seem like high quality files.They are fine grit. I don't notice a huge difference between them and the P220grit sand paper I use with them, which is nice. Because of that, they're not going to take a lot of plastic off of a large model so these really are best suited for removing the mold lines and not for doing big conversions or anything like that.The 3 different shapes are nice to have, though even with the round one it can be tough to get into some tight spaces.Worth noting that a stiff toothbrush doesn't really work to clean them, so I think I'll need to get a real file brush.

I bought these files to remove a backing burn in my line guard on a Hardy fly reel. I could not be happier with the result. They cut fast and are just the right shape to fit the corner of the line guard. They may seem a little expensive compared to other files but they are superior and well worth it.

I've used many small files in the past with most of them being too coarse for plastic models. These are by far the best to remove flash and cut sprue from the parts. Just don't press too hard and it works perfectly.

These are really great files for the price. I have used the super-duper German and Swiss files that cost $15.00 for just one, and I have used the cheap made in India rubbish where you get a set of 12 for $10.00. With the former being a 10, and the latter being a 1, I would put these files at about a 6.75. They are nice and straight. The teeth are nice and even. They clean well with a file card. They also have a classy rubber grip that is pretty cool. Very comfortable to use. Raise the rating to a flat 7 just because of those grips. This set is the finer cut set of the two sets available from Tamiya. Quality stuff.
