I don't understand the reviews that describe this tool accurately -- including the fact that not all of the advertised angles are actually provided -- but then give a rating of two or more stars. A product doesn't get half credit for having half the stated features; it gets no credit for being falsely advertised. My photo shows that the 3-degree slot (shown below the 90-degree slot) is in fact tilted in the wrong direction. There is no 35-degree slot, which would be the most useful for typical guitar fret ends.

I bought a Hofner bass, and for whatever reason, temperature or humidity, the frets extended past the neck and cut me. This was the perfect solution. Enough angles to make it right, maybe finish off with sanpaper and buff. Now I have smooth slides.

Not the biggest fan of the set screws to hold the file in place. The little nylon plug in the set screws may degrade over time. Also the angle I was using did not seem to be exact (this is a knock off neck, so who knows where the fault lies). The file is aggressive so go slow. I didn't expect a precision instrument at this price range so not disappointed. It works for my needs, but if you are working on a quality guitar, maybe not.

I purchased this file to work on my guitar neck to clean up fret edges. I have a beveling file from another manufacturer that only has a 35 deg. angle. It is a bit steep. This one having four angles seemed perfect. The 23 deg. and 3 deg. angles were going to be my go to choices. However upon inspection the 35 deg. is also 23 deg. with no 35 deg. existing. The 3 deg. slot is angled the wrong direction (inward) making it actually a 93 deg. angle causing it to be useless.

This feels of decent quality, especially for the price. Inexpensive tools can be hit or miss, and the “right” tool depends on your neck. From my rough measurements, the angles don’t seem to match what the product description says. With that said, I’d make extra sure this tool aligns with the fret angles you’re working with.

I’ll say this first and foremost; This definitely does the job, and does it fairly well, but the entire thing just feels a bit cheap. Obviously, this isn’t super expensive, and you get what you pay for. If you just need it for a single guitar, or even a couple, this works well. But if you have need for a long lasting a reliable tool, regardless of what job you’re doing, just go for a StewMac tool.

Note: The fret end file that's circled in my second picture is not included in this set. I wanted to include a picture of one as I mentiond it in my review.I had a guitar that had been stored for some time. The fret ends had protruded out of the side of the fingerboard just enough to make it less than comfortable to play. I was able to use this file to get those ends flush with the fingerboard. I also used the 45-degree slot to bevel the frets a little better. I had to follow that up with a fret-end file (not included) to smooth them out some. I also polished the frets while I was working on it. This guitar plays fantastic now!I've had a similar file for several years. However, it only had 45 and 90 degree slots on the block and the file itself did not cut very well. The file included in this kit is excellent. It cut the nickel frets on this guitar like it was nothing. Go carefully at first with light pressure. You'll soon be able to tell when the frets are flush by the sound of the file going over them.The only issue I had is that the finish on the block chipped off some. You can see that in my second picture. It doesn't bother me at all as I feel tools don't look brand new after they've been used. Still, I know it might bother some, so I wanted to let you know. I'd take half a star off for this, but since I can only rate in full stars it gets rounded up to 5/5.

Those sharp fret ends on that lower-priced guitar are a breeze to deal with when you have this simple but effective tool. The solid block of hardwood has four channels that hold the included file at four different angles: 3, 23, 35 and 90 degrees. The file is held in place with allen screws. Don't lose those, as they have plastic ends that hold the file gently, and they may not be so easy to replace. Some wide masking tape on the file side is advisable to protect the hardwood block. Three or four passes was all I needed for the neck I had on hand; I chose the 23-degree option, which served to "roll" the fingerboard a bit as well. This tool is mainly meant for beveling fret ends on new guitar builds, but it's nice to have on hand for the DIY guitar tinkerer. Included in the package are the block, file, allen screws, allen wrench and a small brush for the file and fingerboards. Compare this tool to some found on "luthier" sites and you'll see that it's a great tool at a great price.
