About Swiss Pattern Precision Files . . .
Manufactured to precise production standards, using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship to produce the most accurate, best cutting and longest-lasting files in the world. They are made of the finest heat-tempered, chrome alloy steel and have the right feel, action and balance desired by all true craftsmen. Swiss Pattern Precision Files deliver superior performance on all metals. Simply the best you can buy.
File selection cannot be reduced to a formula or table but is based to a great degree on experience. However, the chart below gives you a great starting point for file selection.

Keep in mind, there is more to file selection than shape alone. Selecting the correct cut to use is determined by the type of the metal you’re working on, as well as the amount of material to be removed and your desired finish. For example, rapid removal of stock often indicates a cut 00, while working on narrow surfaces would suggest a cut 2 and a fine cut such as cut 4 or cut 6 would be used for final finishing operations.

Types of Files

Swiss Pattern Precision Files: The original Swiss files made in hundreds of shapes and sizes.

Swiss Needle Files: A group of files of various cross-sections with a knurled, round handle. Knurling gives the file a positive, non-slip grip for precision filing.

Escapement Files: Also called small Square Handled Needle Files. A group of files of various cross-sectioned shapes with a length of cut varying from 3/4" to 2-1/2", with square handles.

Rifflers: Originally used and hand forged by die sinkers, die makers, silversmiths, etc., in shapes and cross-sections appropriate to their work. Teeth are cut on small areas on each end and can have a variety of shapes. A long middle portion serves as the handle.

Ten Stars
I only use the left two colors but I expected that since I wasn't sure which one(s) would work. They are a great concealer of dark circles. I use the lightest one on the bottom and then touch up with the darker of the two. They don't look caked on and, in fact I can wear them alone without any foundation or powder on my face! And, they lay on top of the fine lines, hiding them somewhat. The brush is great for applying. I have tried many concealers and this is the the best by far.

Reliable protection that stays put during workouts!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried many expensive name-brand sunscreens, but this Amazon Basics version performs just as well, if not better. It’s become my go-to for morning runs and trips to the beach because it actually stays on even when I’m sweating. Why I gave it 5 stars: Non-Greasy Formula: Unlike other sport sunscreens, this one absorbs quickly and doesn't leave that heavy, sticky film on my skin. Actually Water Resistant: I’ve used it for laps in the pool and long hikes; as long as I reapply as directed, I haven't had a single sunburn. No "Sting": One of the best things is that it doesn't run into my eyes and sting when I start to sweat—a huge plus for runners. Great Value: You get a generous 8-ounce bottle for a fraction of the price of "premium" brands. The fact that it’s formulated without Oxybenzone is an added bonus for peace of mind. If you’re looking for effective, no-frills sun protection for an active lifestyle, you can't beat this. It’s a staple in my gym bag now!

Great value and very practical
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
This sunscreen is a great value for the price. The SPF 50 protection works well and the lotion applies smoothly without feeling too greasy. It absorbs nicely and provides good coverage for outdoor activities. I especially like using these bottles to refill the sunscreen dispensers at my Airbnb for guests. It’s convenient, reliable, and affordable when you need multiple bottles available. Overall, it’s a solid everyday sunscreen and a very practical option if you need good protection at a reasonable price.
