Simonds Needle File No 2
The Simonds 83537000 is a Swiss-pattern needle file with a barrette profile and smooth single-cut faces. Its safe edges prevent unwanted material removal on adjacent surfaces. The rigid barrette shape tapers toward the point for access to tight slots and corners. It suits metalworkers finishing aluminum, brass, bronze, steel or tin components.
Sustained hand-filing performance
The smooth cut and rigid body maintain consistent material removal during extended sessions without loading quickly on softer metals. Single-cut faces produce a finer surface than bastard or second cuts, reducing the need for follow-up polishing. Safe edges stay effective throughout the stroke, protecting shoulders and flats on precision parts. The natural finish resists corrosion during long storage periods.
Workshop ergonomics and storage
The round handle provides a secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during repetitive filing tasks. At 6 1/4 inches without the tang, the file offers enough reach for deep features while remaining controllable. It ships in a protective box that keeps the cutting faces sharp and prevents damage in a crowded tool chest. Orders of $75 or more qualify for free shipping from the supplier.
