Good files

[colu41]

Could someone point me to a decent, yet not outrageously expensive needle file set? Theres all kinds online, but I don't know whats good, whats not. My $4 Walmart set is now in the garbage, and the $12 set I bought from Menards is slightly too big for what I need. (Would be for filing guard slots and what not)

I found this company http://www.ottofrei.com/Store/Files/ when I was searching for checkering files and I purchased all my needle files individually for specific tasks the quality shows as well as the durability.

Grobet and Valtitan are really good.
