How to save the file correctly?
| Files are easy to store. There are only two things that will help keep your files in top condition for a long time. | |
| |
Remove files carefully | |
 | As tempting as it is to toss your tools into a drawer or storage box after you've finished using them, it can lead to chipped teeth or broken files. |
 | This is because the people who forged your file designed it to be as resistant to wear or bending as possible due to the high amount of carbon used in the alloying process. |
 | A side effect of this process is weakness to sudden jolts. Other elements can help offset this, but they may not always completely mitigate it. |
Keep files separate | |
 | Files are abrasive tools designed to abrade other materials during use, including other metals. |
 | However, when they come into contact with other files, they come into contact with a material of the same hardness. |
 | This means that both files can corrupt each other. |
 | The best way to prevent this is to hang the files on a rack after use. Some file pens have a built-in hanging hole, making this especially easy. |
 | If you can't hang your files, it's better to use dividers to keep them separate from each other in your drawer or toolbox, rather than just keep them loose. |
Keep away from moisture | |
 | Files should always be stored in a dry place. They can rust easily and once they do, they can no longer be used. |
