Nothing at all wrong with hand files, but when an opportunity like this presents itself, one really should not deny the ability to indulge one's Tool Acquisition Syndrome with a bit of Man Logic.

1. Only got hand files? Then it's "This is too big a job for hand filing, my time is too precious. I need a Power File"

2. Already got a Power File? Then try "The power file isn't really up to the job. Must get an Angle Grinder"

3. If one has an angle grinder but no power file, then one can simply use the "This job is too intricate for an angle grinder" technique.

4. If one already has both, things gets a bit trickier. Best approach in this case is to use the "It took me too long to find the tools I needed. I must build a new storage unit / buy a new tool chest".

5. Remember all the time that the ultimate goal of all TAS activities is to get to the great day when one can say "It's no good, I need to build another shed/workshop".
