FRIEDR. DICK GMBH SCREW HEAD FILES
The Friedr. Dick GmbH Screw Head Files are precision gunsmithing files engineered for one specific purpose: creating and restoring perfectly square screw slots. Designed for firearm restoration, custom gunsmithing, and screw fabrication, these specialized files cut only on the edge, allowing gunsmiths to deepen or clean screw slots without widening them or damaging the surrounding screw head.
Ideal for restoring marred screw slots on hard-to-replace firearm screws or cutting clean slots in new screws, these files provide exceptional control and precision.
