The Nicholson pillar hand file has a rectangular shape with double-cut Swiss pattern teeth on both sides for precision smoothing and shaping of straight surfaces. It has double-cut Swiss pattern teeth on each side for rapid material removal and no teeth on either edge to protect adjacent surfaces. The file's width is narrower than standard hand files for more precise work. The tang can be used with an optional handle for secure gripping (sold separately).
Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth have single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish. Swiss pattern files have eight coarseness grades, from 00 (coarse), 0 (medium), and 1 to 6 (fine to finest), offering a smoother, more precise finish than equivalent American pattern files.
Nicholson manufactures hand tools and power tool accessories. The company is headquartered in Sparks, MD.

A No. 2 Piller file needs to be in every tool box. Not too course. Excellent for detailed material removal before you get to the final stage. Exactly as described and would recommend it to anyone.

Love this file for my sharpening company but I purchased it because it says 6 Pack, but I only received one. Picture is misleading.

It was supposed to be a small finesse file to sharpen fishing hooks that I sent to my brother as a gift. It was an arm long heavy gauge file that he uses to sharpen garden tools and when he finally sent a picture I realized it was the wrong one after the return window. It's not a big deal because he is going to keep it.

Excellent file for precision work with a good edge and leaves a fine and consistent finish. Has 2 safe square edges and the length allows good material removal.
