Quality small metal files -

Looking for suggestions on some good quality small files;
would rather not spend alot, but don't want to waste time on junk steel either.

For specific job, as rotary tool will likely be too aggressive in a tricky space.

thanks

I'd probably just order from one of the industrial suppliers (McMaster, MSC) and be done with it. Even their economy lines will be perfectly serviceable, and there's plenty of selection. Ok, you'll pay a bit more than buying the exact same item on Amazon, but the selection and low hassle are worth it IMO
