I got this set, after returning a different set because one was already broken when I got it. This set is pretty neat. REMEMBER! This is a set for hobbies, not for anything major. I got this to make flutes when my wood dries completely. This is for small jobs, like toy cars and RC cars, and all that jazz. This isn't something you're going to be using to construct a residential home.

These files are SMALL! They fit in the palm of my hand-i have huge hands. (I usually wear XL to 2xl rubber gloves). The tool has grooves to where it's great for sweaty hands. you'll grip it no matter what. If you can't, I'd think you're the issue.

This assortment of needle files is of excellent quality and craftsmanship. They are single cut with nice sharp ridges and made from a durable tool steel. The six files provide the right shape for any situation and they come in a convenient little pouch. They will leave a nice smooth finish on whatever it is you are filing. I would recommend having a good brush for clearing away the material that inevitably will get built up between the ridges when filing. Also the tangs are good enough to be used as is for light hobby work, but for anything that requires more force, a handle is also recommended. These files are quite small so get a handle that is suited to their size since a regular handle will dwarf them in diameter and possibly make them harder to use in tight places.

Bought these considering Nicholson a quality American made product - Received them and they are made in China. As I will be using these professionally, we'll see how they hold up. Can't give them a bad rating just made in China alone, but if quality falters - I will adjust accordingly!

A quality set of mini files which I use to remove flash from my paintable plastic miniatures. They are the right size and the assortment is helpful with the different shapes of the files. Overall a
N inexpensive, but quality set.

They are very nice files.
