Where to buy large file

[softailtom]

Looking to buy a new file but unable to locate the large size I need. I have a picture of one I got of the snap on truck 20 years ago but they no longer make anything that long.

Nicholson still makes 16" files. I buy them from my local welding supply, but MSC and McMaster-Carr carry 16" files.

The best handles are PFERD for plastic and Lutz Skroo-zon for wood.

Snap-on files are so overpriced it isn't funny.

We have a couple NOS US-made 16" files left.

Man that's a huge file wow and is that a snap on hard handle on it? Would be like holding a short sword or something I hope you find another one good luck.

Is that a '69 in your avatar?

What do you use the big ******* (file) for?
