Er ... I don't know, sorry. (They don't seem to be stocked this side of the pond).

A quick look, probably a decent bet; but I'm kinda guessing.

I did spot http://www.amazon.com/Nicholson-Piece-General-Purpose-Hand/dp/B000TDGHVY which might be a decent starter set, if you can cope with getting handles for them (or, even, one handle - you only push files, so you can, in theory, swap a handle over. That gets old really fast, however). It looks to cover the range I suggested (not exactly ... close enough), and appears to be good value.

Depending on how much filing you expect to do - you might be ok getting the cheapest files, and then moving up once they wear out; but I reckon that the cheapest ones won't last long filing steel. (If you were working anything softer (e.g. brass, aluminium) they're probably fine - but I'm assuming that's not the case here!)

(I note someone's downvoted my post above - you might want to hang on for a bit, in case someone disagrees, and wants to suggest something else as the first files to get).
