SYKES PICKAVANT BODY FILES

SYKES PICKAVANT BODY FILES

The body file is an essential tool in the world of automotive repair, designed specifically to achieve precise finishes on metal surfaces.
This file is made of high quality steel, which guarantees its durability and resistance to wear.
Its flat design and crossed teeth make it perfect for working on undulating surfaces, allowing the effective removal of small protuberances and dents on the bodywork.
The PVC handle offers a comfortable and secure grip, making it easy to handle during long work sessions.
The distinctive feature of this file is its cross-fluted teeth, which prevent stretching of the sheet, ensuring a uniform finish without compromising the integrity of the material.
Ideal for semi-finishing work, this tool is essential for any professional or hobbyist looking for an impeccable result in body repair.

Recommendations for use:
Use the file on clean surfaces: Make sure the sheet metal is free of dirt, grease or paint residue before starting to file, to avoid unnecessary damage to the surface.
Apply uniform pressure: While using the file, apply constant, moderate pressure to avoid unwanted deformations of the sheet metal.
File in the direction of the tooth: This maximizes tool efficiency and ensures a smoother, more even finish.
Work in a well-lit area: Make sure the work area is well lit to detect any surface imperfections that need to be corrected.
Clean the file regularly: During use, clean the file frequently to prevent debris from accumulating on the teeth, which could affect its performance.

Maintenance recommendations:
Keep the file free of moisture: After each use, be sure to dry the file well to prevent rust and maintain its sharpness.
Store in a dry, safe place: Store the file in an area where it is protected from bumps or drops that could damage the teeth.
Periodically check the PVC handle: Inspect the handle regularly to ensure that it is securely attached and in good condition; A loose or damaged handle may compromise safety during use.
