Needle files certainly do vary in quality. The Grobet are best in my experience. I've used some Nicholson ones, and they've been a bit of a disappointment.
 
For those of you who are used to using a coping saw, these blades are about 50 times more durable than jeweler's blades. I use them for about 90% of my metal cutting and only use the jewelers blades for the real tight curves. Saves a ton of frustration.

If the link doesn't work right, search for Robert Larson metal cutting blades for coping saw.


I haven't used them for cutting screw slots, but they should work fine, and the set could be ground off for a thinner line.

Hi,
Grobet and Friedrich **** are the best in my experience. They cost about the same. With **** files you also have the chance to say "pass me my **** file" which sometimes raises eyebrows among friends.
