Wood Rasps & Files for the woodworker

Previous | Woodworking Tools Index | Next

FILES We have handled the Nicholson make of Files for nearly twenty years, and have in the meantime bought and sold (in greater or less quantities ) files made by six or eight other leading m anufacturers. Some of our customers don't like them-wouldn't have them -hut there is no tool made about which ideas and opinions vary so greatly, as a file ; there isn't a file maker on earth whose product suits every one, but we think the Nicholson files satisfy a larger portion of consumers than any other file made in this country. They are, in point of uniformity, finish and all qualities that go to make up a good file, a superior article. Although higher in price, there are more Nicholson Files sold than of any other make. This fact speaks for itself.
