Cheers Yamlam

What would you say was cheap? I've looked on the bay and the brand you mention is on at £ 15 is that cheap?

£15 seems reasonable to me.

Thanks for the feedback.

I got mine from Frost restoration a few years ago.

http://www.frost.co.uk/metric-thread-file.html imagine it's similar to what's on ebay. Never had an issue with it [apart from finding it when I need it].
