I bought a set of these files as shown above, but to be honest, they are pretty useless. I would recommend you save the purchase price and put it towards acquiring these. (see below)

My recommended files are off-set so that you can work without fear of gouging your fretboard accidentally and they also get the job done in a fraction of the time it takes for the other files.

Thanks gav. Saw the price, and I think it's a bit out of range seeing as I just bought 3 guitars and spray equipment, and it's our wedding anniversary tomorrow. I don't mind if the cheaper ones are a bit slower, just means I can't stuff necks up as quick!

Stew mac also have an interchangeable diamond fret file...
Has a handle like a screw driver and the head has two grades of diamond grit.
You should only need the medium sized one for PBG kits..

I really like these ones as they are very comfortable to use.
