Dremel tool: A fairly priced tool which allows you to deplete most of your funds in attachments and bits. When you finally get all of the extras you want, the dremel itself burns out.

An 'old' file would be used to;

Clean off the burrs on the end of the metal you just cut.

Clean up the wood joint you just screwed up because you used a hand held coping saw instead of a power tool:(

In the old days,, lol,, they would actually SHARPEN mower blades,chisels,the ends of drill bits that you just ran into the concrete and dulled the heck out of.etc...

For the most part,today there are too many power tools to do the 'manual' labor a hand file used to do.

Which kind:D

There are many types, spaded,flat based, serrated edged.etc.

Have you never seen a picture of a farmer using a hoe to chop weeds?or aerate soil? maybe chop up a snake:((bad farmer:mad: )

My grandfather was a blacksmith,shoeing horses,etc,, and made quite a few different types of hoes.. still have a few around.

The one I like the most is the pointed one with serrations,it makes great v-shaped lines for water runoff.the flat ones are still used here on the prairie for chopping certain 'foreign' weeds which are very aggressive.

Otherwise, I haven't found too many uses in modern times, again,tractors and power actuated attachments have replaced the manual labor of hand tools.

Files are used to skin your knuckles in the bottom of the tool box. Hoes can be picked up on street corners or used as booby traps beside the shed door.
