Several years ago my friend Matt bought this exact 9-piece set of Nicholson files on Amazon for $83.00. Since I have a nice Snap On set and several individual files I've picked up over the year I didn't really think I needed nine more, but I saved the link and have watched them for years thinking maybe someday I'll just buy a set. I have a Nicholson Diamond Cut file that I used at school getting my Precision Machining degree. I love it because it cuts in both directions instead on only one like most files are designed to do. Anyway that file is still sharp, so I know Nicholson makes quality products.

Long story short I looked last week and Amazon had lower the price to $59.99 for the set of nine files so I jumped on a set and sent the link out to all my machine shop and motorhead friends incase they needed a set too. If your in the market for a nice set of files I don't think you'll ever find this quantity or quality at this price again.

Happy shopping,

Appreciate the heads up. Thumbs Up  Just ordered a set.  The files I inherited from my Dad are getting long in the tooth and this looks like an excellent replacement.

I clicked on that and Amazon said I bought it in 2010 . I believe that all Nicholson is imported now so I'm not sure if the quality is as good as the old USA made ones, but for ~$7 each, the price is right. Those handles are awesome- I had to buy them for the rest of my files.

Well I guess between my purchase, those of the guys on here, and whoever else bought them caused Amazon to bump the price back up to $83.99. Sure glad I got a set when they were cheaper.
