Forward vs. drag filing action comparison - video

[Frank S]

Frank: Yes, dragging backwards sends shivers down my spine. My main preoccupation is to get rid of the chips. A former supervisor of Rüggeberg's (>>Pferd brand) told me a) that it is less a question of brand (Pferd is still one of the best), b) but of industrial epochs ("... 60 year ago, most brands were longer lasting"). Escape: Use the (yellow angle) CORINOX files. (expensive, though). Never buy DIY store files. Look for new forgotten files in drawers. For small files: Buy swiss ones.

I would still like to find some of the no longer made 28" foundry files like my dad and I used to have.
