Description
Glardon-Vallorbe Screwhead Precision Files are purpose-built for filing slots in small screws and narrow slots of any kind. Offered without a tang, these files feature a single-cut pattern applied only to the edges — both sides remain safe — making them ideal for precise, controlled slot work without risk of damaging adjacent surfaces.
Screwhead files are available in varying thicknesses and are numbered differently than standard precision files. The final number in the part number denotes thickness, not cut. For example, LP1850-3-4 is a 3" file with a thickness designation of #4, which corresponds to 0.55mm. Available thicknesses range from 0.35mm to 0.80mm across the screwhead file family.
Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Precision Files are the world standard for quality and performance. Manufactured using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship, these files are made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel. They deliver superior cutting performance, accurate tolerances, and exceptional longevity across all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the Grobet Swiss brand name.

- Glardon-Vallorbe precision files are measured from where the teeth begin to the end of the file. A 3" file will measure longer overall when accounting for the full body length.
