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. ## Features - For holding files, reamers, hacksaw blades and other tools - Adjustable, steel jaws clamp to entire length of tool tang - Large, quick adjusting knob offers fast tool changes - Can accommodate a number of file sizes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B014IWD3OA | | Additional Features | Easy to Install, Sturdy | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,178 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1 in File Handles | | Brand Name | Nicholson | | Color | No Color | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,605) | | Exterior Finish | Unfinished | | Finish Types | Oil Rubbed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00037103283924 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Attachment Mechanism | Clamping | | Handle Compatibility | Universal | | Handle Material | Polypropylene | | Handle Type | Knob | | Included Components | 1 Nicholson Branded Product | | Item Depth | 3 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 9.2"L x 3"W | | Item Type Name | Tools | | Manufacturer | Apex Tool Group | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Standard Limited Lifetime | | Material Type | Plastic | | Metal Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 21474U | | Number of Items | 1 | | Shape | Round | | Specific Uses For Product | Tool Handling | | Style Name | Adjustable | | UPC | 037103283924 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nicholson - **Color:** No Color - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 9.2"L x 3"W - **Style:** Adjustable ## Images ![Crescent Nicholson Universal Handle | 21474U - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LmKpVXfmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good grip. *by B***I on March 19, 2026* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practical, affordable, elegant design *by G***N on December 16, 2022* 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.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crescent Nicholson Universal Handle | 21474U - Nicholson 12"" Mill Single Cut Bastard File - Carded - 21842NN", multi - Crescent Nicholson 10" File Card and Brush | 21467 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/37066595-crescent-nicholson-universal-handle-21474u](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/37066595-crescent-nicholson-universal-handle-21474u) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
