Checkering Files
Brownell's steps up 12/04/2018
I've purchased a number of these files over the years and have checkered more 1911 front straps than I care to count. Never had this issue before. The last file I purchased sat in the tool box for a couple of years before I needed it. When I started using the new file, Like Brett, the teeth started breaking off on every stroke. I looked for my purchase invoice but couldn't locate it. Called Brownell's and they found the invoice for me and replaced the file without question. They are great folks to deal with. The file gets 3 star but Brownells get's 5. New file works great. May have been a bad batch of heat treat.
File to brittle 28/10/2017
I bought this file to use for checkering 1911s and on the very first frame as soon as I started making my initial cuts it started dropping teeth. You could hear them just breaking off. The file brand is a good brand as I stopped using this file to use a 30 year old file from the same company that is not missing one tooth. So either the quality has gone down or this batch was over hardened creating a brittle file. I will be contacting Brownells for a replacement, hoping this doesnt happen again.
