Ingco 5-Piece Steel File Set, 8″ (200mm), T12 Steel

Our review

This Ingco set gives you five 200mm (8-inch) files in T12 steel: flat, half-round, round, triangle and square. That spread of profiles covers most bench work, from flattening a surface with the flat file to opening up a round hole or cleaning an internal corner with the triangular one. It suits home DIYers, apprentices and small workshops that want one kit rather than buying shapes one at a time. Before buying, check the length and cut suit your work, since 8-inch files are a middle size, and confirm the profiles match what you actually file. Compare against single files or larger sets if you only need one shape.
