Description

This is a holder for the small needle files sold in sets of twelve like the type shown in the photos. These used to be sold by Harbor Freight; the files HF now sells are similar no longer have the plastic handles (but these same files are still available in the other usual places). Other needle file holder prints are out there, but I wanted to make my own with these features :

  • files are held handle down so the file type can be easily seen
  • files are held "splayed out" so they are more visible and easier to grab
  • as compact as possible with the above features
  • bottom of all holes are open to allow easy cleaning

Note that the holder has 13 holes - I added an extra "spare" hole just to fill out the pattern.
