Used a couple of them to solve a couple of problems id had to Pay someone else to do - so they filed. Id say they were a good value for the money.

Nice combination of shapes for a low price.

These three flies look great and although have not used them yet they feel strong and appear very good quality.

Good value for a good product. Three different file uses.

I ordered this file set for general use around the house. The ' Wotahi' set itself is what I would consider 'home owner' or DIY grade. It is very comparable in price (per file) and quality to some Mastercraft files I was looking at a few weeks ago.The set itself includes a flat, a 1/4" round and 1/2" half-round file. The quality of the files seems pretty good but the handles do look slightly plasticky, however I found the rubberized coating on the handle is fairly comfortable to hold. Each file has an oval hole in the handle which makes it easy to hang on pegboard hooks in your shop.It should make a decent set for taking metal burrs off of my lawn mower blade, as well as giving it a decent edge in between sharpening(s) or giving my chainsaw chain a quick sharpen on the fly.Overall, a good set for the average homeowner like myself and the pricing seems reasonable for the quality.

As a DIY often faced with the need for precise adjustments and smoothing of metal surfaces, having reliable tools at hand is paramount. Here are my thoughts on this WOTAHI Metal File Set:Firstly, the handles of these files deserve applause. They snugly fit onto the files, ensuring a firm grip without any wobbling or slipping. This feature, coupled with their ergonomic design, makes handling comfortable even during prolonged use.The sizing of the files is just right. At 8 inches in length with a well-proportioned handle, they fit neatly into a toolbox, ensuring accessibility whenever needed. The inclusion of handles is a significant advantage, as it eliminates the hassle of purchasing them separately and the inconvenience of transferring them between files.Performance-wise, these files excel. I put them through their paces on various tasks, from smoothing sharp edges to refining surfaces, and they delivered without a hitch. The round file's coarser teeth proved efficient for faster material removal, while the flat file's dual-sided teeth added versatility to my work, allowing access to tighter spots.However, a notable omission is the lack of file sleeves. While not unexpected, it's worth mentioning since protecting the files from rubbing against each other in the toolbox is crucial for maintaining their longevity. Improvising with tubing and repurposed inner tubes solved the issue, but it's a minor inconvenience nonetheless.In summary, the WOTAHI Metal File Set is a valuable addition to any toolkit. Its sturdy construction, ergonomic handles, and reliable performance make it a dependable companion for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Despite minor shortcomings, such as the absence of file sleeves, the overall quality and value of this set make it a worthy investment. Whether tackling everyday tasks or more specialized projects, these files get the job done efficiently and effectively.

I have my own metal shop, so I use a lot of files. These are quite sharp. Granted, all my other files are quite old, but these are definitely an improvement over the dull stuff I had sitting around. Most of the time, when I'm using a file, it's being held against something spinning in a lathe. I'm quite happy that these have handles because of that. If a file with no handle slips, it can go right through your hand. That does mean that I let the lathe do the work, and I'm just holding this and not working it back and forth. So, these are comfortable enough for that. This is a metal lathe by the way. I don't do much with wood. This cuts through steel with zero issues.Thus far, these are holding up just fine. I've only had them for about a week, so I can't speak to their long-term durability just yet, but they haven't rounded off at all like some really bad files do. It's currently 5/6/2024. If I'm not complaining right under this paragraph, you can bet that they are doing just fine whenever you read this.

These files far exceed my needs, but I am sure I will use them more and more. I love the handle on each one as this saves scratched fingers and the cost was well within reason. There is nothing I dislike, and I strongly recommend them to anyone needing a file.

Works well for my project. (FINAL TOUCHES ON MY DOOR LOCKS)

The metal files arrived on time and works really

Sharpening some yard tools recently I noted to myself to acquire some better hand files. Then this set popped up so I took a chance and ordered it even though I just need new flat files. Upon opening the Amazon shipping box, I was not impressed. The packaging was the bare minimum, and you could see oil spots at the end of each file. I immediately feared for the quality of the files, but many of those fears soon dissipated.First the handles are not soft rubber, but are comfortable and have both shape and raised areas for a good grip. Second, all 3 files appear to be second cut on the major surfaces and they are aggressive. I grabbed a garden hoe that needed an edge and just a few stokes with the flat file gave me a good edge, but one that needed a smoother file to give it a razor-sharp edge. Next, I sharpened the heavy-duty blades from the lawn tractor. Again, the file quickly took material down, but required a smooth file to give it a polished edge.So, after using two of the three files my major concern is durability of the teeth. Thus, a 4-star rating and not a 5-star rating.

Balance of the files seems good , and the handle is non slip which is good , with the file hard enough to cut on hardened steels , so for most tasks they will be fine .... I use a wire brush as file comb if the cutting surface get's clogged ...The reason I gave 3stars is the flat file has cutting edges on both sides , which then makes it hard to file into a corner without removing metal on the other face , I prefer to have a plain face on a set of filesOther than that for the odd task around the home , just fine

PRODUCT:_WOTAHI Metal File Set - 3PCS T12 Carbon Steel Files with 8-Inch Double-Sided Teeth in Round, Half-round, and Flat Shapes for Professionals and DIY Woodworking/Metalworking WTH004_Tight handles, Size Fits in tool box: “have a file when needed”; Good File & Value: Made Sheaths--------------------------LIKED: How well the handles stay on. They are tight, no wiggle, no slippage, solid with the file. Good value.And of course the files worked well.Nice elongated hole in handles to go over different size hooks on a pegboard etc...Handle Hole measures: 5/8”L x 3/8” W x 1-3/16” DeepThis 8” file length (~6.5” to 7” grooved file surface on the flat file) plus 4.25” handle length is great for many tasks.Not too short, not too long.Flat file measured: ~3/4” Wide (25/32 or 0.780”) and 11/64” (0.1675”) thickHalf Round file measured: 13/16” (0.812”) wide and ~1/4” (0.2545”) thickRound File is: 0.301” wide (round)My “XLarge glove” hands would like an extra inch on the handle, but this will work, and sometimes that shorter inch may make the difference in “access” in limited space. Since these handles are on solid, I’ll certainly compromise for the shorter handle in any case. (The handle end sits just past palm vs the heel of my hand.)The flat file DOES have file teeth on the SIDES of it also! (Not all flat files do!)I don’t recall this ad mentioning it, but it is an added selling point.I DO sometimes need to use the narrow edge of the file.The Round file has coarser teeth than the flat or flat/round files.HANDLES INCLUDED: This makes me appreciate this product even more!The fact that these included handles was the deciding factor for me to get this set. (and the fact that when I need a file, the files may not be with me.)These will fit into a general-purpose toolbox well, so I’ll more likely have one at hand when it’s needed.Note: Often Files don’t come with handles. In those cases, the handle must be bought separately or try to do without.But sometimes what you do purchase for the file doesn’t fit very well. (Or, if you order one “Really Good” awesome holding handle, (and really good is worth it, but that may prevent multiple purchases) you must then move the handle between different files as needed, also a time-consuming chore.)------------------TESTS:I tested all 3 files on some half inch steel plate I use for pounding, flattening, etc.. but the edges and corners were sharp and needed some smoothing to avoid someone getting cut someday. All 3 files worked as expected (no issues). The round one was coarser, and I went back over that area with the finer flat file to smooth out coarser file marks.If you need to do something similar, the round one will cut faster being coarser, but if you then use a smaller round chain saw file (very fine teeth), it’ll clean up the area if it’s going to “show”.(Chain saw tooth sharpening files come in different diameters and are certainly much smaller than the larger heavier duty file in this set. They cut slower but cleaner and are for finish work.)--------------------Didn’t like:NO FILE SLEEVES: Not really expected since Files almost never come with sleeve protectors to keep files from rubbing against each other in the tool box. It can damage the teeth over time.- I tried to cut the display package they came in down to size to use it to hold the files but it was still a bit too bulky and clumsy for what I wanted.The whole thing as shipped can go onto a pegboard, but at 6.25” wide vs 4.5” for the files, it’s a bit wide and long for a tool box. (15” long container vs 12.25” for the files alone.)- The round file clued me in to using a 3/8” ID tubing as a sleeve for it. (it was stiffer & clear)For the other two files: I didn’t have any other larger tubing of the correct flatten-able size laying around, but I DID have an old 10-speed bicycle “narrow tire” inner-tube laying around. Chunks of that tire inner-tube proved a good size and now have gained a 2nd life as File Protector Sleeves for the other two files. (see picture)- File Card or file teeth cleaner brush: (Often not included with a file, unless it’s a large set, and of course adds cost.)It’s a wider flat card with a handle that has thin metal brush teeth on it.If you don’t have one, it’s a good idea to get one. It helps when filing soft metal, (esp. aluminum) to get the metal stuck in the grooves out. Other stuff can stick there too, like paint, wood, etc... A file works better if clean.-----------------------
