Tyrolit Life Stahlfeilen 2er Set review

Two files on a shelf of angle guides — and the guide is the part that is not in the box.

The bottom line Good files, honestly described, on the wrong shelf for anyone without a guide.

The sentence at the end of the listing

Edelstahlwinkel für optimales Schleifergebnis separat erhältlich.

The stainless angle guide is available separately.

That is the whole shelf’s purpose sold as an accessory to the accessory. A file without a guide cuts at whatever angle the hand holds, and the family page above explains why the angle is the object.

What is in the box

  • One COARSE file, for removing material and rebuilding a damaged edge
  • One FINE file, for small irregularities and maintenance
  • Both steel, made in Austria

What is missing

The dimensions. Both guides on this shelf that publish a file size take 70 × 25 or 70 × 28 mm, and without a figure here there is no way to know whether these drop into either.

The price across five stores

42.90 in Germany, France, Italy and Spain. 44.39 in Britain. The American store does not carry it.

The most consistent pricing on this shelf, on the least complete product.

Availability

One check, one figure — 43 € — at the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops.

Outside the euro, the British Amazon shop sells it in its own currency, and the range above is kept clear of that.

An empty answer from the American Amazon shop: the buy button there opens a search instead of a blank page.

The declared figures, and where they run out

Strengths

  • Two grits in one purchase: the coarse file restores a damaged edge, the fine one maintains it
  • States where it is made — Austria — which nothing else on this shelf does
  • Priced in five markets, and within a euro and a half of each other in four of them

Compromises

  • Sold on a shelf of edge tools and containing no angle guide; the listing says the stainless angle is available separately
  • No file dimensions published, so matching them to an existing guide is guesswork
  • At 42.90 € it costs more than three complete guides on this shelf

The two closest on price

Same category, nearest budget — what else the same money buys.

Questions asked about this one

Can I sharpen an edge with these alone?

Held in the hand, a file follows the hand rather than the edge, and the result is an angle that varies along the ski. The listing itself points at the answer: the stainless angle guide is available separately. Buy one, or buy a guide that includes a file.

What is the difference between the two files?

Grit. The coarse one removes material to rebuild a damaged edge; the fine one takes off small irregularities and maintains it. The listing states both purposes and no grit numbers.

Will they fit my guide?

Unknown from the listing — no dimensions are published. The guides on this shelf take 70 × 25 mm and 70 × 28 mm files, and file size is what decides compatibility.

Who this one is for

Someone who already owns a guide and wants two good files for it

If this one is not the right fit
