Looking for some small needle files. Square or at least one surface flat? 1,5 mm would be nice i think . And the i should do a slot in 1 mm? 

Trying to do a little puller. From a M4 screw.  

Could i harden a M4 insex screw to make it harder to wear out.

For small tools, I often draw on my days doing scale model aircraft and go the stores specializing in this craft like these places:

https://www.megahobby.com/categories/tools-supplies.html

http://www.micromark.com

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__953__178__Tools_Bags_Storage-Knives_Cutting.html

We are spoiled to have an incredible tool store in Ottawa, Lee Valley Tools, they ship internationally.

You might want to see if they have what you are looking for:

http://www.leevalley.com/default.aspx?c=0

The founder (passed away recently) was absolutely passionate about tools, and even teamed up with a local surgeon to create better surgical instruments, that should tell you just how capable Leonard Lee was as a toolmaker.

I had the privilege (and I don't use that word very often) to meet Mr. Lee once in his store and asked him a few questions about a product, an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge on tools.  

Every tool or product I bought from that store went above and beyond what I expected.

If you see something on the Lee Valley site, buy it. If it fails, they will take it back no questions asked.

There are watches with day and date complications :thumbsu:

I don't have a watch. The day I gave up watch and clock making I haven't worn a watch. Its only about two years ago I decided to buy a few clocks. My sister thinks I'm odd. I don't even have a television.

We neither watch TV now for about 10 years. Last time we put the antenna in the PC to watch TV... the soccer euro championship :) But 2-3 times a year we watch a fayritale DVD with the kids on the old CRT. They were born in the LED era :)

Not to be OFF.

What do You think of Degussit midget files? The 50x3x0.3 mm pice would be an ideal pivot grinder. Are there any substitutes to the Degussit? How long does it last if one is grinding hardened steel with it? Its not expensive at Cousines UK, the question is how many to order? And how about the other bigger ones? Are they important to have?
