Tools are what makes us human. From flint arrowheads to thermonuclear weapons we all have our toolkit. I have a favorite tool and it's not a glamorous one. It's a file. over the last couple decades I have done many thousands of $'s worth of guitar repairs such as refretting, fabricating nuts and saddles, dressing and leveling frets, and finish touchups.
It's a lowly file but I cannot find a replacement. It has a fine "toothed" cutting pattern, made of very hard tool steel and most importantly has rounded edges.
Tell me what your favorite tool is and also if you know where to get one like mine. (No... Stew-Mac does not have it though that is where I originally procured it.)
Cheers
