Nicholson Ergonomic Rubber File Handle with Inserts, 4-1/2" Length (Pack of 1)

Got for my 10" Nicholson bastard file I used for mower blade sharpening. It comes with two inserts. The non starred one fit great and then that snapped into this nice handle. No wiggle at all. Good product. Much nicer than the old wood handle I put on my wood file years ago.

Price is good handle is good as always was. Been using these for a long time

There's not a lot to say that's bad about this product. The two adapters it comes with do a reasonably good job at making the handle compatible with most files. I've attached these handles to Nicholson and Craftsman files from 8 inches to 12 inches long and so far, no problems getting them to stay attached. The only reason I gave it four stars is that the tabs on the files don't fit all the way into the handle, which makes the file turn in the handle slightly when you're really going to town on a piece of metal. The price is reasonable for what it is. You should get one for every file you own and just plan on keeping them mounted permanently. It's a bit of a chore to disengage the file from the handle after it's been pushed in. Country of origin is China.

Bought two - Installed one on a 7 inch long rat tail file, and the other on a 8 inch half round. The inserts seem to be slightly more flexible than the material of the handle. The half-round went in with a few smart whacks on the workbench with the handle down and file upwards. I used relatively light force from a small arbor press to seat the insert in the handle for the rat-tail because beating on it wasn't working easily. Gripping the file gently in a vise and whacking on the handle would have done the same thing. Once seated, they hold the files nice and firmly, and are very comfortable. A little pricy, but I think they are worth it. My hands, and the work I am doing with the files are much better now. I will save up and buy more of them.

Handle and inserts are working great. No problems so far

If you are wondering if these handles will fit your files, the answer is yes - because they are adjustable in the sense that you can either use the existing hole as is or add one of two adapters. They're comfortable, well-made, and ergonomic - they are much better than the cheaper versions. In this case, you get what you pay for.

Nice handle. Matches my other Nicholson file set. I needed it for a Nicholson 10 inch round file. The handle came with two inserts, No 0 (rectangular shaft files), and No 3 or X insert (which was supposed to fit the 10 inch round file). The molding of the No 3 insert only allowed the shaft of the file to go in about 1/2 inch. It was solid rubbery plastic the rest of the way. I had to drill out the insert using 3 different sized bits using my drill press, since the file shaft is tapered. I first drilled all the way through with the small bit. I drilled from both directions to make sure the file would be straight. I then drilled the large end about 2/3 of the way with the medium bit, and then about 1/3 of the way with the large bit. The instructions on the handle package do not mention having to drill out the handle, so I suspect they are jut poorly molded. Works great now.

This is a nice file handle for the price. The file fits snuggly in the handle and the handle is comfortable.

Very useful. Allows a firm grip on file.

Se me hace incómodo y como que no le embona muy bien a diferentes limas.

Lo ergonomlco, en herramientas

It's a file handle. Fits the files i bought it for, and is comfortable. Was shipped on time and packaged well.

Price is pretty good. But quality is so so. The insert that I need is the one with cross (X shape) cavity. It comes with some crap inside. It looks like some rubber is left inside during manufacturing. I need to use a heavy hammer to force the file handle in. Also I don't appreciate why the seller did not specify what types and size files the inserts fit. But that size chart is clearly printed on the package (and 12" size is not one of those listed). No wonder a few customs are upset because the handle does not fit 12" files.
