I’m tired of buying crappy metal files. I’m looking for recommendations for the best bang for the buck on metal files. Looking for uses such as farm/ranch work, fab work prep, motor work, to some gun smithing. Are Nicholson Files the way to go?

The main reason for the tarps I used was for dust. My shop is on a farm, with a gravel yard around it. It tends to get a dust coat on everything. Even if in a closed up shop and in a tool box drawer.

The tarps are large cloth moving blankets, draped over the boxes. That’s a good question though! They are kinda thick. I didn’t think about the fact that they might be holding moister in. I used them because they had some extra padding built in.

I live in Texas, where humidity can get crazy! I’m looking for a solution to keep my mechanic hand tools from spot rusting. They are stored in an enclosed shop, in a toolbox, with a tarp over it when not being used, and coated with WD-40; yet I’m still getting speckle rust spots on them...
