## Long description

Hazet 4968-1 is a compact hand tool engineered for manual cleaning and dressing of brake caliper surfaces and sliding parts. The brake caliper file removes rust, paint and deposits from mating surfaces, guide channels and edges to help restore correct fit and smooth movement of caliper components. Designed for workshop benches and mobile service use, the tool supports routine brake maintenance and helps extend the service life of calipers by preparing contact areas for inspection, lubrication or replacement.

Its compact form factor gives access to narrow or recessed areas of the caliper assembly, while the abrasive surface is sized for effective material removal without over-cutting. The tool is simple to operate, requires no power source and can be used on a variety of ferrous caliper surfaces. Built to Hazet quality standards, it offers consistent performance for repeated use in professional and mobile environments.

Key specifications

How to use
Secure the vehicle safely and remove the caliper or access the caliper area as required by the vehicle service manual. Hold the file with a firm grip and apply steady, even strokes along the mating surface, guide slot or edge to remove corrosion and deposits. Progress cautiously and check fit frequently to avoid excessive material removal. After dressing the surface, clean debris with a brush or compressed air and apply appropriate lubricant or anti-seize where specified before reassembly. Follow vehicle manufacturer torque and assembly instructions when reinstalling components.
Usage recommendations
Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when dressing brake components. Avoid inhaling dust; use local extraction or a respirator if required. Inspect the caliper and sliding parts after cleaning—replace any components with excessive wear or damage rather than attempting repair by filing. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve abrasive effectiveness.
