## Description

The Nicholson Universal handle is an adjustable file handle that requires no inserts and allows the user to work with a full line of hand files

Review: Good grip. - Nice handle. I bought it to go with the Cody James hoof rasp. This was easy to install and really clamps down tight. I have been using it on my hoof rasp and I can't even tell it isnt a single piece because it fits and holds so nicely. The handle is sturdy and easy to grip.
Review: Practical, affordable, elegant design - I have had trouble with the old style file handles that are wood. Their function is based on hammering the tang of the file into a prepared slot in the wood handle. Over time, that slot gets reamed out by rugged use of the file and the handle wears out before the file does. Usually, the wooden handle doesn't serve its purpose well at that point. This mechanical handle that fits any flattened, pointed file tang and solves that problem. The handle functions as a clamp: you slide the flattened tang of the file into the clamp and screw it down; it holds the file very well, no slips, no wobbling. Yes, it takes a minute to unscrew the handle from one file and put it on another, but it works better than any other file I've used. Note: it is designed for a flattened, tang such as is found on a bastard file. This particular design would not work with a rounded tang as on a chain saw file or with a file that has a rectangular-shaped tang. Maybe the company makes different adjustable handles for those needs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a saw file handle
*by J***S on March 5, 2025*

Not American made but seems ok. I doubt it will work well for a saw file but I have not used it for that yet. Should work great for flat files.
