These little round files are fantastic for smoothing and shaping slots, but they are easy to bend if you are too forceful, but they can also cut into the nut surprisingly fast as well so it's easy to go too far if you aren't careful.
They are great if you work gently and take time to stop and check your progress.
I don't think I'd try to cut a new nut with these as they are too flimsy, but for smoothing and shaping existing slots and sharp edges they are excellent.
For the price this is a no-brainer addition to your workshop.

The H.B nut file set is good for beginner and if you have just 1 guitar that you need to setup is useful but if you gonna setup many guitars i will not recommend this product

Does not work!!!

It is a single use disposable item, that will not even work! I needed to deepen existing nut slots on my ukulele for about 0.75 mm. I spent more than 4 hours filing! And I only managed to deepen ~0.5 mm before the files became as smooth as oiled baby skin. Spent more then one hour for each nut slot! And used up 7 or 8 files. I have read all the reviews and was expecting them to be flimsy. And yes they were very soft and bendy. But I was expecting them to be harder then the GraphTech Nubone XB nut, otherwise they serve no purpose. My nut is white, but because all the metal from the file is shredding off the slots became black and you can not completely clean it off after filing. Not sure how it i will affect strings from all the metal dust inside.
Also the stone block is neither straight not flat, it is just useless!

cost effective but not time effective for sure

You need to use these gently and slowly in order to do the filing without any damage to the saddle/nut. So it would take too much of your time for even minor adjustments.
Better to invest in better quality file set(s) or just simply let the luthier take care of the task.
