Customer reviews about Hosco Double Edge Nut File

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!

Good value set of files

irfrench 13.11.2014

I've had a couple of sets of files and ended up wanting to try something other than the REALLY expensive ones. I saw these and thought I'd give them a go.

Upon receipt I checked the cutting edge with a pair of callipers and got some varying results. To ensure I'm cutting at the correct width I simply marked the files with black pen where it exceeded the target cut by more than 0.002".

I have used these to re-cut a GraphTech nut, a couple of bone nuts and an aluminium nut. All have been very successful with no string binding or slippage.

I'm very happy with the files and will continue to use them until blunt!

Too thick

Jar53 19.08.2020

The thinnest file where suppost to be 0.010 inch. I measured it to be 0.038 inch. I can’t USE this to make a slot for the E 1st string. Thomann and distributor denies this is a problem...

Ok

RobX 02.01.2021

Good quality files but the V of the edges is a bit too abrupt...good for first cut but not for finishing.

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.

An amazing tool for DIY setups

Jimbo777 08.07.2017

Good product if you are looking for some good files - for a reasonable price - to file slots on the nuts and saddles.
I'm just disappointed about the 0.10in file which cuts much wider than required (definitily wider than 0.13in) and this will create issues when the high E string will sit in the nut slot.

Overall I was satisfied with the purchase but there are better files around. Super-fast delivery as per normal with Thomann.

Necessary but expensive

Leftygaucher 07.05.2018

If you want to quickly and accurately fix/cut your nuts (ouch!) than a set of these is almost necessay, even though I made do with folded sandpaper and string bits for most of my musician's life. The most expensive item perhaps on Thomann's catalog on a value-per-actual-monetary-amount-paid basis.
Probably superior quality to most anything of the sort you could get directly from China. So, yes.
