18 pc. Premium Guitar Tech Fret Tool Set

I do a fair amount of my own guitar maintenance and setup work, and the MusicNomad Premium Guitar Tech Fret Tool Set (MN880) has quickly become one of the most useful additions to my bench. This is one of the few bundled kits that actually feels well thought out by people who understand fretwork, rather than a random assortment of tools thrown together. The leveling beam is properly machined and flat, which is the most critical part of any fret leveling job. Paired with the included sandpapers, it makes it easy to accurately level frets without fighting the tool or worrying about inconsistencies. Where the kit really shines is the diamond crowning files. They cut smoothly and predictably, making it much easier to bring frets back to a clean, centered crown after leveling. The diamond surface removes material efficiently without grabbing or chattering, which is especially helpful if you're working on stainless or harder fret wire. The beveling and polishing stages are also well covered. The fret guards, polishing materials, and finishing supplies make it easy to go from leveled frets to a mirror-like polish without needing to source additional tools. One thing I appreciate about this kit is that it encourages proper fretwork workflow: Level with the beam Re-crown the frets Bevel and smooth edges Progressively polish to a clean finish Everything needed for that process is included, which makes it great for players who want to maintain their own instruments or learn proper fretwork technique. The tools themselves feel durable and well manufactured, not disposable. MusicNomad clearly put effort into designing a kit that could live on a guitar tech’s bench. Pros High-quality diamond crowning files that cut smoothly Flat and well-machined leveling beam Comprehensive kit that supports proper fretwork workflow Durable, professional-feeling tools Excellent for serious DIY guitar maintenance Cons May be more than a beginner needs if you only do basic setups Final Thoughts If you’re comfortable doing your own setups and want the ability to properly level, crown, and polish frets, this kit provides a complete and professional-feeling solution. It’s far better than trying to assemble individual tools piecemeal, and it makes the entire fretwork process much more approachable. Highly recommended for anyone serious about maintaining their guitars.

Really great bundle. I purchased this item, along with the 24” L-Beam to learn how to fret file, crown, and polish a bass guitar neck. I didn’t want the hassle of researching every single tool I needed to perform this job, so I bought the kit. There were a few tools in here I didn’t need, but the S-File and Polishing tools were great. They were very well designed and it included the polishing papers as well. All the items included are high quality. The price of the bundle is steep, but the quality does match.

I don't often write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this fret kit. My wife recently gifted me a guitar with a couple of high frets, but I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. Then, I bought a used guitar online that had even more fret issues – four high frets and a couple that needed recrowning. Facing the prospect of paying a luthier or tackling the repairs myself, I decided to invest in this Music Nomad fret kit. The kit arrived beautifully packaged and organized, which I really appreciated. The tools themselves are fantastic. I'm just a guitar player, not a luthier, but this kit made it easy to diagnose and fix the problems. Using the tools and a brass mallet, I leveled the high frets, straightened others with the U-files, and even smoothed out some fret sprout. I also recrowned and polished the worn frets. I was so impressed with the results that I ended up using the S-file to crown and polish all the frets on the used guitar I bought. Now all my guitars have perfectly straight, mirror-like frets! Thanks, Music Nomad!

This is very nice to have. I used it right away to spot level a couple frets and it got rid of the fret buzz and choking out and didn't take long at all. Very easy to use if you watch the demo videos and follow the process. Music Nomad makes great products.

I wanted the lowest action I can get away with on my strat, so I made sure my frets were leveled, crowned, and polished. This fret maintenance kit has no equal. The price reflects the type of quality you'd expect from tool experts and the best materials.

Worth it.

Everything is right whit it !!!

I used the kit on a fret repair and the finished frets looked great.

Okay, I know this kit is expensive and I kind of had to just close my eyes and hit purchase but...the quality and value of the bundled tools vs. buying them separately over a longer period of time made me not regret this purchase. They have idiot proofed these tools to the point than even I could do great set-ups on some pretty low level import guitars. This kit will help you get even the cheapest guitars playing their best.

Most of the tools in this kit are well made but they are more pricey than they should be. There is a couple items that are damaged when I received the kit and should be replaced. I have other items that I've purchased from this company that are sub par and hope they reach out to rectify. For the price they should. I will follow up.
