Files

The file is one of the oldest and simplest, yet most useful, hand tools. The Simonds file tradition began with the purchase of the Fitchburg File Co. in 1905, and was enhanced with the acquisition of the The Heller Tool Co., founded in 1836. The Simonds "Red Tang" trademark has become one of the most respected symbols of quality and reliability in the marketplace today. Every Simonds file is precision-cut for uniform tooth height and sharpness. Then, they are scientifically heat treated for optimum hardness before being individually inspected for uniformity and maximum cutting ability.
