The 74106 is a focused choice for a flat working surface. Its 6 mm width and 165 mm overall length make the format clear, while the exact Tamiya page identifies a carbon-steel blade with chrome coating and a non-slip handle. The supplied transport case is useful when the file moves between bench and storage.
Compare the 74104 basic set when several profiles are needed in one purchase. That set includes flat, half-round and round smooth double-cut files with 140 mm total length; this 74106 instead concentrates on the coated flat blade. For a curved contact shape, the 74126 half-round or 74107 round file is the more direct comparison.
Tamiya describes plastic-to-metal use for the exact model. It does not provide a tooth-density or abrasive-grit value, so choose it by the flat working face and coated construction rather than a presumed sanding equivalent.

Your questions about this product
When would the basic three-file set be more useful?
Choose 74104 if you need flat, half-round and round profiles together. The 74106 gives one 6 mm flat hard-coated working surface.
What comes with the file for storage?
The seller and exact Tamiya model page describe a case. A cleaning tool or replacement blade is not itemized.
Can I compare this with sandpaper by grit number?
No grit number is supplied for 74106. Compare its file profile, chrome-coated construction and task rather than inventing a sanding equivalent.
A dot-matrix glass filing face and resin grip provide a reusable rigid option for plastic-model nubs and parting lines.
