Grobet Hand Files rock! They are used to smooth and shape silver or copper that has been cut, punched, or stamped. The files are 6" long and are a coarse cut of size 0 which means they remove more metal than something that has smoother edge.

The files are great to use on rounding the edges of the stamped cuff bracelets or the other stamped kits on Tickle Me Beads.

Although they cost more money, it is worth the extra expense if you plan to do a lot of filing on silver or coper. They get the job done faster and much smoother. I sometimes don't even need to use the sandpaper to do the final smoothing steps. -Cassie
