Half Round Metal File 8in 200mm Steel Soft Grip Handle

A 200mm half round metal file used for shaping, smoothing and refining metal on both flat and curved surfaces. The half round metal file combines a steel filing section with a soft grip handle, giving you a practical hand tool for controlled workshop and repair work.

Used for general metalworking, this type of file is handy for garage jobs, workshop use, DIY repairs and maintenance tasks where edges, contours or surfaces need tidying up. The flat side helps when working across straighter areas, while the curved side is more useful for rounded shapes, internal curves and awkward sections where a standard flat file is less convenient.

The 8in / 200mm size gives a good balance between control and usable filing length, making it suitable for regular bench work as well as smaller repair jobs. Its steel construction suits repeated use on metal surfaces, and the soft grip handle gives a more secure and comfortable hold when applying steady pressure. The half round profile makes it a useful choice when one tool needs to cover more than one surface shape, which helps avoid reaching for separate files during common fitting and finishing work.
