Very Good for What It Is
Anonymous 20.02.2017
This file does a good job and I'm pleased with it.

This makes an affordable alternative to a luthier's precision-ground fret-levelling beam, even if it is expensive compared to a regular file.

If you don't know what fret levelling is about, there are many tutorials online.

It's neither particularly long nor wide as tools for the job go, so you'll have to proceed carefully and check your progress as you go. Which you were surely going to do anyway, right?

It has a nice little bit of heft or weight to it, so that it can operate under its own weight - thereby contributing to even results.

It operates quite efficiently, so that the job will be done in just a few strokes.

In short, it's not the best tool out there that money can buy for the job, and it's not a cheap file, but for what it is, I'm very pleased with it.

Makes short work of fret filing
A Buyer of Stuff 25.09.2023
This file will knock your frets right down with just a few gentle passes.

As others have noted, this is relatively 'short', but it's certainly workable for fret leveling if you keep a light touch and let it follow the frets on its own.

Great luthier tool

Great tool. Only wish if there was a handle for the tool available. But the file is great for leveling frets.
