Pferd or Stihl files?

[DeanBrown3D]

Hello all,

I picked up some of the blue Pferd "premium" files the other day and, maybe its just my imagination, but they dont seem to do as well as the stihls. Just wanted to see if anyone here had an opinion on these? Under a mag glass, their profile is completely different and does not have the stihl double layers (for want of a better word).

I agree. We bought some of those...about 20 dozen!!...when Baileys had the sale on them a few months back. We hate them!
Total files arew the best on the market.

where do you get your total files?

My Stihl dealer....he only stocks Total round files. The flat files are Stihl though. Go figure huh?

I hate the pferd files as well, The actual cutters are way too fine they get clogged and dull super quick! I can get an oregon file to out last a pferd file by 7-8 times longer. so yeah they suck. Never used a Total or a stihl file so can't compare the three. I like files that don't clog and keep their sharpness! I wonder how stihl and total files compare to oregon files???

Love the Oregons, Stihl is second on the list of the ones I've used.

I like the Oregon files personally...

Oregon files all the way STIHLs ones are ok when there new but after that there not as good as Oregon.

I bought 2 dozen pferd's recently and don't care for them at all. Like others have already said, they are too fine. I prefer the Oregon files myself.
