the first one I got lasted 2 years then I dropped it and stepped on it broke it in half
just don't use them on hard metal and they will last a long time
10 years? Wow. How do you keep these files clean so it will last that long? I have a grobet round file that kind of feels clogged up with brass.
Always clean your good files with a file card after use to dislodge bits of metal. I'll also frequently flush them with oil after use too, then lean them up on their tip to drain on top of a folded paper towel. It further cleans them, and prevents rust.
