Fix-It Tip
A file is a tool one uses to
keep all other tools in shape,
yet in practice, it probably
is the most neglected. Files
are used to keep saws, drill
bits and garden tools in
shape.
There are different files
for different jobs. Tell your
hardware dealer what you
intend to do with the file and
allow him to steer you the
right way.
Basic shapes are flat,
round, half-round, triangular
and square. A single cut file
has parallel rows of teeth
and is used for fine work.
A double cut file has rows
of teeth crossing each other.
