Square Metal File 12in 300mm Hardened Steel Soft Grip Handle

A 12in square metal file with a 300mm steel blade, made for shaping, smoothing and cleaning metal where a flat-sided profile is needed. The square blade is useful when working into slots, corners and straight internal edges that are harder to reach neatly with other file shapes.

Used for general workshop jobs, garage repairs and DIY metalworking, this file suits anyone tidying rough edges after cutting, adjusting metal parts for fitment, or cleaning up corners and narrow sections. It can be handy for fabrication work, light engineering tasks, maintenance jobs and small repair work where controlled hand filing gives better feel than powered tools.

The 300mm length gives a practical working size for steady filing strokes, while the steel blade provides the rigidity needed for regular hand use. A soft grip handle helps with comfort and control when working through repeated passes, especially on jobs that need a careful finish rather than fast material removal. The square profile also makes it easier to work consistently along straight edges and inside defined corners. For regular bench work or repair jobs, it is a straightforward option to keep close to hand.
