Go to page 27 of bill's model murdering thread for nice views of the tools he uses. I actually got the second set with handles, they look exactly like the ones on the model murdering thread.

hey that DOES look like them. thanks for the tip. hey coach, the second set is only 3/4" longer than the first set... i think the handles make 'em look longer...

edit: only problem is i hate to pay $7.00 shipping for a $5.00 set of files. ouch. wish I had a Harbor Freight near me...

or maybe I just need to order a whole bunch of stuff, make the shipping cost effective... :lol:

edit again: hey, harrisburg is only an hour from here... sounds like a Saturday trip...

Yuppers, the grey handled ones.

They have held up good, as well they should. I only cut styrene, brass, copper, solder, and the occassional fart.

Don't laugh, i've done it more than a few times. Good way to get more stuff you don't need. ;) rr
