Ensure secure grip, steady forward stroke pressure, and hand protection during metal filing with the authentic TECHNIQUE® ASIC Wooden Handle for Hand Files (#18468). This 110mm standard handle is crafted from sustainably sourced French PEFC-certified beech wood and reinforced with a heavy-duty brass ferrule.
Designed specifically for full-size bench hand files, the #18468 features an ergonomic contoured profile with a flared neck and rounded butt end. The smooth wood body fills the palm comfortably to absorb forward thrust during heavy metal removal, while the solid brass ferrule reinforces the tang socket against splitting when mounting steel file tangs.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Standard 110mm Ergonomic Body: The 110mm length provides balanced leverage and comfortable palm support for smooth, controlled filing passes.
-
Dedicated Hand File Tang Socket: Sized to receive and anchor tapered steel tangs of standard bench hand files securely.
-
PEFC-Certified French Beech Wood: Turned from dense, fine-grained French beech wood that resists shop moisture, perspiration, and wear.
-
Reinforced Brass Ferrule Collar: The solid brass collar reinforces the socket mouth to prevent splitting or hoop fracture when press-fitting or driving file tangs.
-
Contoured Palm Grip: The tapered waist and rounded end rest naturally in the palm, reducing hand strain during extended metal shaping and deburring.
How It Solves Your Daily Work Challenges
-
Protects the Palm from Tang Injuries: Eliminates the hazard of working with bare, pointed file tangs, providing a smooth, cushioned grip.
-
Maintains Stroke Flatness: The ergonomic handle body keeps the tool aligned with the forearm, reducing wrist roll and ensuring level, uniform surfaces.
-
Prevents Socket Splitting: The solid brass ferrule absorbs wedging forces when tangs are seated firmly into the handle socket.
