James,  I was looking for a small triangular file to clean up some pipe threads and  what I actually said was that I really needed a thread file.  

We have run off most of the industrial/manufacturing jobs from Memphis.  There is a Grainger's not far away, but they have gotten real finicky about selling to walk-ins.    Most times when I need some tool or fastner, I don't want to wait a week to get it delivered, but that is becoming the only way to get a lot of what used to be common items.  The local Lowz have the little drawers in the hardware section with all sorts of odd stuff.....but if you look, most of the drawers are half empty!  And needless to say, the folks they hire don't know a brass screw from a steel one.
