Notes
- File length is measured from where the teeth begin to the end of the file — the tang (handle section) is not included in the stated length.
- A 6" precision file measures approximately 8-1/2" overall from tip to end of tang.
- Cross-section dimensions are measured at the thickest point of the file.
