Bahco 9-486-C-1P ERGO File Handle for Round and Chainsaw Files

The Bahco 9-486-C-1P ERGO file handle is a professional-grade tool accessory specifically engineered for use with round files and chainsaw files. Developed according to the scientific Bahco ERGO process, this handle focuses on user comfort and safety by minimizing muscle tension and reducing the risk of strain during repetitive filing tasks. The construction features a robust polypropylene core encased in a thermoplastic elastomer, which creates a non-slip, comfortable grip that conforms naturally to the shape of the hand.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this handle is its ergonomic design, which significantly improves control and precision while reducing hand fatigue during extended periods of work. The material composition ensures a secure, non-slip hold even in demanding conditions. Furthermore, the handle is designed to completely cover the tang and shoulder of the file, acting as a critical safety feature that prevents the hand from slipping onto the sharp blade during operation.

Suitable for

• Sharpening chainsaw teeth
• Working on curved surfaces with round files
• Professional and DIY filing tasks

When it may not be suitable

How to use
