Very well implemented diamond files

Money well spent. These do not clog even when used on aluminum. They are NOT thin, by design, which might not be welcome. I did not carefully evaluate surface uniformity (which might be important).

Does the job

Nice assortment of diamond files. Bought them to sharpen forstner bits. Tried one immediately on receipt (got it fast), and it was great.

Nice set of files

Very nice set of files - good for filing acrylic and also wood. Nice even pattern of diamond fragments, clean rectangular cross-section, and sufficiently thick so they maintain their shape even when force is applied. No idea how long they will last, but so far they are holding up well. I wish they had the grit marked on them, but other than that, I'm very happy with them.

Best Diamond files I have used.

Great diamond files for lapidary work. Diamonds are on all four sides and the tip making these files super useful!! The handle is a good length and the rubber protects your hand from the 90 degree angles. The price is right.

Good for granite

I'm happy with the price and quality of these files. Files will be used to smooth granite tile edges that I cut and they work very well for that, especially using the coarser grit files.

Worked well

This file set worked well for me, opening up a slot in a hardened steel block. Nice range of grits, durable so far, and just the right size for my project. They may not be deluxe, but they worked well for what I needed.

Surprisingly nice! Didn't expect that. GREAT files.

I'm a bit of a tool snob. Normally, if it doesn't say Starrett, or Nicholson, or Snap-on, or Armstrong, or Craftsmen, or Brown and Sharpe or Milwaukee or Fluke, I don't usually buy it. For me, hell wouldn't be a fiery lake, but spending eternity in Harbor Freight. When I purchased these "no name" files, I had fairly low expectations. But after using these, I was really surprised. The files work great. They clean off well. They don't seem to be getting dull. The quality seems good. I like that all four sides of these are coated with abrasive. I makes getting into some tighter spaces pretty easy. I may just purchase a second set of these for my tool box at work.

Works great

I use these to file my many types of jewelry-making pliers so that they grip more evenly again. I have also used them to file the wire ends when making wire jewelry. The range of grits allows for a lot of control, and they seem quite durable, especially compared to some diamond grit jewelry files I bought - these are much nicer and longer-lasting. Highly recommended for jewelry and home improvement use - probably other uses, too!

Good quality - excellent deal

These are quite nice, actually. The dimensions are a little off in the copy, but not by much. Overall length is 8 1/2", diamond length is 3 1/8", width is 7/16 or 11mm rather than 1/2", and thickness is 3mm or just under 1/8" rather than the 5mm stated. Files are sturdy, straight and flat (the coated area and handle being raised). The diamond coating is on all four sides and the tip, as if it were dipped - I mention this as sometimes it's useful to have one edge smooth on a file, though of course the edges coated are useful as well. The grit consistency appears to be uniform and consistent with the spec'd grade. The grade is not marked on the individual files, but that's easily rectified with a felt tip marker. The included vinyl pouch is workable though a bit chintzy - I almost mistook it for packaging as it was stuck to the cardboard. In very fine print on the package it reminds one to use with water or lubricant as one should not use these dry (as with most diamond files)..

nice files

Much better than working with the tiny diamond files usually found. I use these for cleaning and re-profiling key-ways in nitro carburized parts. The extra size and real handle makes large filing duties much easier.
