Your cart is empty.The Crescent Nicholson file card and brush is perfect for general cleaning of file teeth, removing fillings, dirt, rust, burrs, corrosion, and most buildups of foreign material on metal. The file card and brush unclog teeth on finer cut files, allowing the abrasive to cut properly each time. Its wood base construction offers durability and ease of grip, so you can work confidently over time.

I required this type of metal brush along with the tough bristle brush to clean files. Works great. I am using it with small size files for precision work. This brush removes the debris caught inside of the file serrations. It was designed to work with larger files but works well with the small ones. The bristle brush also works very well.I found the overall quality to be excellent. It does the job the way I expected. For handling and keeping a grip on the handle, it fits my hands very well. What I also like is it is marked, "USA" on it. Not many of these types of products are still made in North America or Europe.If you need a good quality file cleaner with a metal type brush and a rear side bristle brush, I would recommend this one.

This is an excellent tool to clean wood and metal files. A bit pricey but well made and easy to use.

A quality tool with a large, solid wood handle and good bristle brush and file comb faces. Highly recommended.

Nicholson is still the best name in files and file accessories. This file card (why call it a card?) has many (too many to count) tiny wire bristles on one side and stiff brushes on the opposite side. It works fast in cleaning out your clogged file edges. It is comfortable to use for extended periods.They are now a part of Crescent Tools which also covers Wiss, Lufkin, GearWrench, Delta, Weller and many others. Most brands are currently releasing co-branded Crescent/[tool brand] tools in their traditional orange colorway and will in all probability be entirely rebranded Crescent in the coming years.

I bought this brush to use with my under pad for my Ruggable rug. The corners of the carpet lifts off the under pad when pet hair gets stuck underneath. I quick brush with this and the velcro like under pad adheres to the carpet again.

This file card brush does the job effectively. I was surprised how good a job the bristle brush side did to clean a wood file. I haven't had a chance to use the metal bristles to clean out a file after metal work, but they look like they would do the job. I recommend it.

As mentioned in other reviews: if you have files, you need a file card!Recently, metal machining has piqued my curiosity; I have viewed many videos online and read many forums about various machining techniques. There are many different ways to build/assemble/modify metal parts and materials. (I've just begun to scratch the surface.) What surprised me is how often files are still used in the modern machine shop. (I've owned and used files for years, but not like machinists do.)What I quickly learned is that a file is a tool, just like any other. If you want any tool to last longer and function at its best, you want to keep it in top shape. This is what a file card is for. Every time you're finished using your file, you should clean it with a file card.Upon realizing this, I ordered this file card. Once I received it, I cleaned all of my files (about six) thoroughly. After a few minutes, I had a pile of shavings and rust on my workbench from files that I had thought were relatively clean! Well worth the money.

Cleans files well but sometimes I still need some oil and a wire wheel for really embedded metal files. Wood files are a breeze.
