File/Rasp Proline 32136 hand tool, single-piece metal file/rasp for shaping and smoothing

Proline 32136 hand file/rasp is a single-piece metal tool designed for shaping, smoothing and removing material from wood, soft plastics and similar substrates. Made from high-quality tool steel with a cut no. 2 tooth pattern, this file/rasp provides balanced stock removal and control for general-purpose carpentry, repair and hobby tasks. The tool features a two-component anti-slip TPR handle that enhances grip and user comfort during extended use.

Advantages

The hardened tool steel blade ensures wear resistance and maintains cutting geometry under normal working conditions. Cut no. 2 teeth deliver moderate material removal while preserving surface quality for follow-up sanding or finishing. The two-composite TPR handle reduces hand fatigue and improves control, making the Proline 32136 suitable for detail shaping as well as broader smoothing operations. Supplied as a single piece, the tool is compact and ready for immediate use.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing wooden workpieces
• Removing excess material from soft plastics and composite materials
• Detail filing in carpentry and joinery
• Preparing surfaces before sanding, painting or finishing

Key specifications

• Material: high-quality tool steel blade
• Cut type: No. 2 (moderate tooth pattern)
• Handle: two-component anti-slip TPR
• Construction: single-piece file/rasp

How to use

Secure the workpiece before filing and select a stable working position. Hold the Proline 32136 by the TPR handle and apply even pressure along the stroke, moving the file away from the body for the cutting pass. Use multiple light passes for controlled material removal and check progress frequently to avoid over-filing. For detail work, change angle and stroke length to access small areas and achieve the required profile. Clean the teeth periodically with a brush to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use the file/rasp on appropriate materials only (wood, soft plastics and similar). Wear suitable eye protection and gloves when filing. Follow local safety guidelines for hand tools and maintain the tool by keeping it clean and dry; store in a toolbox or protective sleeve to prevent damage to the cutting surface.
