This 10-piece KALIM Needle File Set is designed for hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts needing precise shaping and filing capabilities for softer materials. Its key benefit lies in the versatility offered by six different file shapes and comfortable, non-slip handles. A potential caveat is that the 3mm diameter may not be suitable for very large or aggressive material removal tasks.

These files are ideal for shaping and filing soft materials such as wood, plastic, and soft metals like aluminum, brass, and copper. They are also excellent for working with models and jewelry.
Each file has a 3mm diameter and a total length of 6 inches, with the file portion itself being 4 inches long.
The set includes files in six different shapes: equaling, half round, triangle, round, square, and crossing.
No, these files are designed for softer materials. They are not intended for use on hardened steel or other very hard metals, as they will dull quickly and be ineffective.
After each use, clean the files by brushing away debris with a stiff brush or using compressed air. For tougher residue, a mild solvent can be used, followed by complete drying.
Yes, the non-slip plastic handles are designed to provide a secure grip even in wet conditions, enhancing control and safety.
Information regarding the specific warranty period is typically found on the manufacturer's website or the product packaging. Please refer to those sources for details.
Ensure you are using the correct file shape for the task and that the material being worked on is suitable (soft metal, plastic, wood). Check if the file teeth are clogged with debris and clean them with a brush. For very hard materials, a different type of file may be required.
Inspect the handle for damage. If it is cracked, discontinue use for safety. If the file tang is slightly loose within the handle, ensure it is fully seated. For minor looseness, a small amount of appropriate adhesive might be considered, but this is not a standard repair.
Gently clean the rusted area with fine steel wool or a rust remover. Ensure the file is thoroughly dried after cleaning. Apply a light coat of oil for storage to help prevent future rust.
Setup: No setup is required. Simply select the appropriate file shape for your task and begin using. Ensure the file is held securely by the handle.
Compatibility: This set is designed for use on softer materials such as wood, plastic, soft metals (like aluminum, brass, copper), and model-making materials. It is not recommended for hardened steel or other very hard materials.
