Vakman Tools 16 Piece Carbon-Steel File Set Great for Woodworking & Metalworking, Whittling Professional Hobby Project DIY Metal File Tool

I bought this file set for my wife for some craft projects she has. I liked it because of the variety of the sizes and different coursenesses (I just made that word up, but I think you get my drift). She was very impressed that shortly after delivery, the company also sent an email about the proper care for her new set. She had no idea of the importance of the right way to care for a quality file. Now I need to get her a file card as well so she can keep the files in great shape for years to come. Thank you so much for that little bit of extra customer service, it sure goes a long way!

I have only used one of the files so far but overall the quality seems very good. Sturdy handles seem to work well and it is a nice assortment of files. Hope to use them for many years to come. I like the set and would recommend. Couldn't go above 4 stars only because I have not used them much yet.

I am really impressed with this file set. I purchased this set because I was in need of some smaller hobby sized files. Upon receipt I opened the zippered storage bag and the files just looked like really good quality. The handles appear to be really well build, ergonomic, and a good size. I really didn't expect this level of quality at the price I paid. The assortment of the smaller files was better than what I had expected as well. I would highly recommend this file set.

Hi there guys,I have received your file set and was not happy how they have arrived. Box has been loose and some tools got loose as well. Case and handles are very nice but metal finish, especially on large files is terrible. Whatever casting process you use, it has left a lot of tiny holes and "bubbles" on metal surface, which does not make me confident in your tools. You really need to improve a QC process unless you do not care about your customer base. I will come back to this review in six months in order to report how did you improve. Get better and good luck!!!!!

good set, i was nervous about buying it because all the other reviewers used these on wood. I wanted to use it on metal like mild steel, etc. bought it anyways and worked just like i was hoping it would. I needed them to make round holes square on mild steel so it would hold carriage bolts. Sharp set and can really file down metal.

Looks like a very high quality kit. I haven't used it much so far, so 4 stars so far. I have some projects planned so maybe I'll update then.

I was surprised that the four larger files are full sized. The smaller ones are perfect for what i need (3D printing touch-ups) and the large ones will come in hand for other projects. The quality is excellent. The case is contact and well made. I am very happy with this purchase.

I'm planning on using this set for sharpening old two man crosscut saws, although I haven't actually used it yet I will say out of the box these files look good! No broken edges or cracks. The handles are comfortable in my hand and feel solid.
