Worth it

This is a very useful tool. While pricey as far as files go, they are a specialty item. They work beautifully and if you want accurate clean looking results, these are worth it.

Gets the job done!

I ordered both files! I used one on my medium jumbo frets on my MIM Teleaster! Take you time and it works well! Crowned the frets to perfection! After I used it the frets were very easy to polish up to a smooth bright shine with little effort!
