In impressioning, files are used to duplicate the grooves in a key to create a working key. The file is used to transfer the contours of the internal key tracks in the lock onto a blank key, shaping the key to the exact form of the lock. Then, the lock can be opened.

If you have never used a pear-shaped pippin file before, then this file will be a pleasant surprise for you. Professionals do not choose these files as their favorite tools for no reason. It is difficult to find Grobet’s pippin files nowadays, but we have made them available for you. After extensive research of other files, we found that they were not the real pippin files. One of the files did not have the correct shape and was probably not of Swiss/Italian quality.

Pippin files have a tapered shape in width and thickness to precisely create the grooves of a key. They are specially made to create openings where you think one is necessary.

The Grobet Swiss Pattern precision files are the global standard for quality and performance.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING PIPPIN FILES.
