I just got Bailey's latest sale flyer and they have chain files on sale. They have PFERD for $10.99 and Woodland Pro for $9.99 per dozen. I thought, "Wow, that is a good deal!" Then I thought, "Heck that would last me a few lifetimes as it seems like one file lasts forever." I mainly use the 7/32" round and file every other tank of fuel with a few strokes. I cut about 5 or 6 cords of mixed hardwoods each year.
I have at least 2 Oregon files that have lasted a LONG, LONG time. I place pressure only on the forward stroke, while slightly lifting on the return stroke. I typically use a file card to clean the file teeth at the end of the day.
How about you???? How long does a file last for you? And which brand do you prefer?
Thanks & cut safely!
