High quality set!
Music-Mindset 13.08.2021
Managed to fix al my guitar nuts (haha).
But seriously, after buying these files, I found that I have waited way to long to get a good set like this.
Indeed, they are not super cheap, but it works so much better than trying to make your own files or using strings to cut out the best guitar nut.
If anything, they are a bit wide. The cut will be a v shape, so make sure that your nut is not to high.

Extra almost related tip, use a nail polish file to file the full nut and get a great shine!

Made the job easy for a beginner, highly recommended!
TrEr 21.05.2019
I had absolutely no experience with filing nuts but I got tired of paying a luthier to do something I should be able to do myself. So I got this file set to get started. I'm happy to say that even the first nut I filed was a success and I've done several more since then. The files are excellent quality and really easy to work with, even for a total beginner like me.

Highly recommended!

Easy and comfortable to use

These are very high quality, work very well and are comfortable and easy to use.
If you set up your own guitars, or those of friends, these are a solid investment.

No more problems when cutting the nut slots
Mateii 31.08.2020
In the past I always worked with pre-slotted nuts, but recently I had to cut a nut for a custom made guitar.
This files allowed me to cut the slots precisely, clean and very quick, to the desired depth. I did not notice any quality control problems.

Good
Oli UK 22.08.2017
Be careful of the 0.017 gauge. I dont know if it was poor technique but it made the slot far too wide for my g string, perhaps start off with the low gauge first.

But yes these solved my problem of poor tuning stability. Each one of my strings now returns to pitch perfectly with tremolo use and bending. I had used a cheaper set before and I think they were wrong shape (round bottom) because the slots had too much friction. Now my guitar stays in tune all day even without lube.

Knocking a star off because the price is too much for such a simple too that doesn't even come with a nice protective case. But i guess they've got the market cornered on this product so they can charge what they like.

Really easy to use and they do the job nicely. If I broke these I would buy another set.
