Finest Professional-Grade Needle Files for Gunsmithing
Friedr. Dick GmbH is known worldwide for first-class filemaking, and the Professional Gunsmith Needle File Set (21001410) continues that tradition. Brownells and other distributors describe it as “Finest Professional Quality Gunsmith Needle Files in set of 12 assorted shapes… made of best materials to rigid quality standards.” Brownells UK+2Brownells+2
What that means for you:
Professional-grade steel for long service life under regular shop use
Medium cut teeth (often called “standard” or “#2”) that balance clean stock removal with a smooth finish – ideal for fitting and refinement work Brownells UK+1
Precision-ground profiles so each file tracks straight and predictably on metal
Whether you’re cleaning up sear edges, fitting sights, tuning feed lips, or refining small parts, these needle files give you the control and finish quality serious gunsmithing demands.
12 Assorted Shapes – The Right Profile for Every Job
Instead of forcing you to make one or two files do everything, this set includes 12 different needle file shapes, giving you the perfect profile for virtually any detailed metalworking task. Retail specifications highlight key shapes such as: Brownells+1
Hand file – flat, general-purpose work on flats and edges
Three-square (triangular) – excellent for inside corners, dovetails, and V-notches
Square – cleaning up shoulders, slots, and rails
Half-round – ideal for curved surfaces and blended contours
Round – for holes, radiused cuts, and internal channels
With a full assortment at your fingertips, you can match the file to the job instead of compromising your work to suit the tool.
Deep, Durable Cut for Efficient, Controlled Metal Removal
These professional gunsmith files are known for their deep, durable cuts, described by Friedr. Dick and Brownells as specifically engineered for repeat use in precision metalwork. Brownells+2Primary Tactical+2
Cut performance advantages:
Aggressive enough to remove metal efficiently without excessive pressure
Smooth, predictable bite that minimizes chatter, gouging, and skipping
Ideal for steel, alloy firearm parts, and other hard materials when used correctly
Paired with the compact length and fine profile, this makes each stroke count—especially important when working on sear surfaces, locking lugs, and other critical engagement areas.
5.5" Length with Knurled Handles for Maximum Control
Each file in the Professional Gunsmith Needle File Set measures approximately 5.5" (14 cm) overall length, with a 2-3/8" x 1/8" shank, giving you a compact, rigid tool that shines in tight spaces. Brownells+1
Key ergonomics:
Knurled handles for a secure, non-slip grip—great when your hands are oily or you’re making very fine, controlled strokes Brownells+1
Short, stiff body for excellent feedback and precision, reducing flex and helping you “feel” the cut
Slim profiles that easily fit inside frames, slides, magazine wells, and other confined areas
That combination of size and grip makes these files ideal for intricate gunsmithing, where even a slight slip can mar a part or ruin a fit.
Heavy-Duty See-Through Roll – Organized & Protected
A good file set deserves good storage, and this kit includes a heavy-duty, transparent, pocketed roll with snap closure. Brownells+2Primary Tactical+2
Storage roll benefits:
Individual pockets protect each file’s cutting surfaces and keep tips from banging into each other
See-through material makes it easy to spot the profile you need at a glance
Snap closure keeps the roll secure in a toolbox, drawer, or range bag
Whether you’re working from a dedicated shop or a mobile armorer’s kit, this roll keeps your files ready, protected, and easy to transport.
