8" Diamond File Set - Black & Silver - Premium Quality Files for Metal, Wood, Glass - Ideal for DIY, Jewelry Making, and Home Improvement Projects

I got these because I read a tool review in a PTEN magazine. And, I am very happy that I did.You can file in any orientation. It is literally like sandpaper on a stick. But much better.So far, just sharpened/shaped an axe and a knife. It was super fast and the final sharpening did not require much more work.The main benefit of these is the fact that you do not have to file in a particular direction. I shaped the tools on the bench in a comfortable position. I did not have to vise it down in a particular position to utilize my regular files requirements. This was nice.I’m no pro so I don’t have enough usage to say really but I’m going to use these instead of my regular files and see if these can actually replace them.... idk... I’m really happy with these.The case... it’s a solid nylon (?) velcro’d case. But... I don’t like it. Not sure exactly what it is but my other files are just laying in my tool chest. These came in a case and that’s where they are. To use them, I have to open and unsnap two snap buttons to pull them out. It has a flap which you have to unsnap. Maybe after they’re not so new, I’ll just leave them out as well? Time will tell. I’m sure some of you are the same way... Get something new and baby it until it grows up kind of thing.
