These little round files are fantastic for smoothing and shaping slots, but they are easy to bend if you are too forceful, but they can also cut into the nut surprisingly fast as well so it's easy to go too far if you aren't careful.
They are great if you work gently and take time to stop and check your progress.
I don't think I'd try to cut a new nut with these as they are too flimsy, but for smoothing and shaping existing slots and sharp edges they are excellent.
For the price this is a no-brainer addition to your workshop.

The H.B nut file set is good for beginner and if you have just 1 guitar that you need to setup is useful but if you gonna setup many guitars i will not recommend this product

cost effective but not time effective for sure
N.Soh 06.12.2023
You need to use these gently and slowly in order to do the filing without any damage to the saddle/nut. So it would take too much of your time for even minor adjustments.
Better to invest in better quality file set(s) or just simply let the luthier take care of the task.

Blind date

I got these blindly to work on a new baritone setup... At first sight I was sceptical to say the least. But actually it works perfectly, and it's all you can wish for to setup a nut.
Keep a written copy at hand of the article description because the gauges are not written on the files.

Good to learn, not to use
DJayson 28.10.2024
Got those for a mod project i had with a cheap HB telecaster.
Changing the normal nut for a graphtech which meant i had to adapt it.
Files and tools are so bad it would have been faster and cheaper to have it done by the luthier. In the end i was able to finsh it to a decent extent but i will not use hem ever again.
Good to learn but thats about it, don't expect good results and even lest fast ones.

I have recommended it to many players. The convenience/price are unbeatable and can bring your guitar to a whole new level.

super cheap and very useful

I am a pro guitarist. I needed to file the low E slot a bit on my killer Harley Benton SC 550 , and this worked perfectly. For the price of a couple of cheeseburgers. Brill.

For nut slot cleanup
J Hoeven 18.11.2024
I use these files to clean up nut slots, and it does a good job. Once I'm done with the proper nut files, I run these through to slightly widen and shape the back of the nut. For cutting a nut, use proper nut files; for very minor work these do the trick.

Good tool for what it does
Maria Mendes 08.05.2024
This is a good tool for what it does. When in a quick need to file your nut grooves, for better string placement and intonation, this will do the job.
Its a very useful tool, which I recommend and should be part of every guitar players Tool-Kit !
