The Faithfull Hardwood File Handle is an essential safety accessory designed for woodworkers and metalworkers who use tanged files. Crafted from durable hardwood with a protective metal ferrule to prevent splitting, it provides a secure and comfortable grip for precision tasks. While it offers superior control compared to using bare tangs, users should note that the handle arrives with a small pilot hole and requires manual drilling to create a custom fit for their specific file.

This handle is designed specifically for tanged files, which have a pointed end meant for inserting into a handle.
Yes, you will need a drill and appropriately sized drill bits to enlarge the pilot hole to match your file's tang.
The metal ring is a ferrule that reinforces the wood and prevents it from splitting when the file tang is forced inside.
Yes, the hardwood and metal ferrule construction is designed to withstand the stresses of intensive workshop filing.
While technically possible, these handles are intended to provide a semi-permanent, secure fit for the file.
Remove the file and deepen the hole slightly or use a small amount of wood glue to secure the tang.
Ensure the pilot hole has been drilled to the correct depth and diameter for that specific tang size.
Tap the metal ferrule gently with a mallet to seat it firmly against the shoulder of the handle.
To install your Faithfull file handle, first determine the diameter of your file tang. Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the thickest part of the tang to ensure a tight, friction-based fit. Gently tap the file tang into the pre-drilled hole using a mallet, ensuring the file is aligned straight. The handle is compatible with standard tanged files. To care for your handle, store it in a dry environment to prevent the wood from swelling or shrinking, and wipe it down with a light coat of oil occasionally to keep the hardwood in top condition.
