6" Swiss Pattern Pippin #4 Cut Genuine Grobet $72.00

For impressioning many people will argue over which is the perfect file to use. Whichever your choice, these high quality european crafted files will fit the bill. Here you see the pippins, named for the apple seed (pippin) shape of their cross section. They provide a knife edge for good starting cuts, or impressioning for very narrow wafers and a rounded belly for normal cuts. The benefit of the pippin besides the 2 distinct shapes, is that unlike a round file when you tilt it to one side you can fashion the slopes without leaving "hooks" on deep cuts. Available in either the #4 Cut (fine) or #2 Cut (medium).
8" Swiss Pattern Pippin #2 Cut SOLD OUT SPECIAL

ORDER ONLY

For those that use pippin files, and prefer a bit more length, here is an 8" beauty! They are only available in #2 cut.
6" Swiss Pattern Round #2 Cut $17.50

6" Swiss Pattern Round #4 Cut $17.50

Round files are preferred by some for impressioning. If you like a round file this is the one for you. Available in either the #4 Cut (fine) or #2 Cut (medium).
8" Swiss Pattern Round #2 Cut $22.50

8" Swiss Pattern Round #4 Cut $22.50

Some people prefer an 8" file when impressioning for the longer stroke it affords them. Well you asked for them, here they are! Available in either the #4 Cut (fine) or #2 Cut (medium).
***Special Requests: I can get just about any style, cut and size of file made today. All you need do is ask!***
PVC Protective Case $5.00

This case is made from strong PVC, with protective foam added to the ends. It will protect your file investment either in shipping or rattling around in your tool box.

The wood handle feels confortable in your hand. The long ferrule offers added strength and durability. The small handles are appropriate for 6"files.
Large Handle for 8" Files $4.50

The wood handle feels confortable in your hand. The long ferrule offers added strength and durability. The large handles are appropriate for 8"or 10" files.
Key File Set $27.50

Cutest Little Locking Pliers $5.00

Small size 4-3/4" (120 mm) overall, fit the hand such that you don't have key-tearing leverage of larger pliers. They fit the hand so well giving just the right amount of leverage for impressioing. They have countless other uses as well. Because they fit in your pocket, you'll find yourself using them for all sorts of things.
Basic Magnifying Visor $27.50

This high quality American made visor is practically indispensable for impressioning. The optics are made from the same materials as prescription eyeglasses. They have no center post to obstruct your view. The remainder of the body is made from tough durable ABS plastic. The ratchetting head strap adjusts like the ones on a welder's mask and stay adjusted! The basic comes with 2.25 X power (equal to +5 diopter) lens that gives you a comfortable 8" working distance. There are other magnifications available by special order, but I have found this one to be optimal for impressioning.
Magnifying Visor with Auxiliary Lens $37.50

This model is the same as the basic above, but has an additional flip down auxiliary lens. When in place the auxiliary lens increases the magnification a little more than twice, and reduces your working distance to 3". You will probably not want to use it all the time, but in those times when you just have to have a bit more magnification it is great to have it available.
Magnifying Visor with 8000 Candlepower Xenon Light $67.50

This is the basic model with the addition of an 8000 candle power Xenon light. This is great for working in low light conditions. I have had requests to add the auxiliary lens to this model. I will do so for an extra $10 but you must understand that you will not be able to use the light and the auxiliary lens at the same time since the light will be focussed to 8" away and with the auxiliary lens you are working at 3".
