Hosco nut files?

[ShortyMedlock]

Are Hosco nut files any good?

I have used several different combos of tools to cut nut slots over the years but finally may bite a small bullet and buy some real ones...

In general Hosco makes good luthiery tools. I have some of their fret end files and they are great.

UO-CHIKYO brand (Made in Japan) are also very good.

I have the Hosco ones. The high 0.10 always seem to have a slight curve in them, even new (I had a set that was curved on that one and, after speaking to a few stockists, it was determined that they all have it) but it doesn't seem to affect functionality.

I've adjusted about 10 nuts, and cut about 5 from scratch using them. No complaints.

i just got a hosco .010" files. it's flimsy as hell but it'll do the job. It seems strong, just not what i was expecting.

So now you probably see the advantage of using that yellow muspor gizmo to hold them
