Nail file recommendations?

Hi everyone. I'm finding it increasingly painful to use nail scissors (arthritis) but can still wield something like a nail file. I need a really good one - which will file/abrade big time and also last.
Does anyone know of a make which fits the bill?

I use a glass file - a cheapo off ebay - it abrades, lasts and also leaves a smooth result.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Mine is a small OPI crystal nail file - not a cheapie but designed to last (as long as you don't drop it, of course) https://www.nailpolishdirect.co.uk/opi-nail-treatment-crystal-glass-file-p4904 - this may not currently be the cheapest but it was when I bought mine, including free delivery.
Also Leighton Denny is good, but I don't know where's cheapest. Other cheaper ones might do just as good a job, I don't know. But proper crystal nail files generally are supposed to last pretty much forever0 -
Yes crystal nail files are the way. They last for years easy to clean and you can buy cheap or branded names.0

Crystal nail Files are best. My sister uses them from long time. You can buy it online of any brand as it is something which will stay for longer times.0
