Based on 3 reviews
Overpriced for what it is, but this should be the only fret removal tongs you'll ever need to buy. Pros: The narrow width is much more suitable than e.g. a fret wire snips or generic end cutters as it allows both blades to slip right in under the fret more easily and to prise a little up at a time without indenting the fretboard. The elongated snout allows a soldering iron tip to gain access to the fret crown, to soften any glue underneath.

Maxparts BEF.03b Fret End File R3mm

Based on 2 reviews
Yes, you can probably get something much cheaper on Amazon or AliExpress. But this is a file that will last you a lifetime, even if you are a luthier. You will love it, guaranteed. I wish I had bought one decades ago. Keep in mind that there are three sizes. on this one the concave side is designed for medium jumbo to jumbo fret wire. However, flat sides have more general application. It has safe edges so you don't have to tape of your fingerboard if you just want to quickly fix fret ends that are poking out or some imperfections. This file is worth the price.
Maxparts BEF.02m Fret End File R2mm

Based on 2 reviews
Very quality and sturdy file. Used it for frets crowning as well as for filing fret ends and sharp corners. Can be a bit longer, but it is more subjective. Used it on 2 guitars, in total about 35 frets were completed and still it looks like almost new. Expensive, but worth it.
