QUOTE: Originally posted by mcouvillion electrolove, I used a Sharpee permanent marker to write "Use on RAIL ONLY!" on the handles of the club's Xuron nipper. There is always someone who will use the wrong tool, and the Xuron is ruined if it is used to cut a hard metal even once. It only takes a second to keep yourself from forgetting that this tool is for one thing only. Mark C.
QUOTE: Originally posted by electrolove Is this the ones made of metal? How long will they last? Maybe you can point me to a picture at Walmart if there is any. I live in Sweden but maybe they have similar things here. I tried to get some needle files but they did not have any. This seems to be something I can use instead.
QUOTE: Originally posted by ham99 I used one of my wife's emery boards [for fingernails] long ago and it was so handy that I bought a set of my own. These are the thick ones from Walmart, with different grits on both sides. I just poli***he top edge of the rail with a pass or two of the finer grit. Not every cut rail will need it -- you can tell by running your finger over the end of the rail. If you feel a sharpness, polish it a bit.
