Love the spoof at the end!

Thanks for helping stimulate our economy! After viewing this video, it's clear that StewMac sells quality tools for professionals who make a living at working on guitars while Amazon tools are dedicated for the novice who perodically works on them. Thanks for posting!

I have the same thing going on. About half of my tools come from Amazon and the other half from Stewmac. You and I both bought the same fret crowning file. It works OK on a high fret that needs to be knocked down.

Just got the same kit off ebay for $20. The winder came in handy as I've been using one I made myself and it had seen better days. The string polisher is cool as well as the fret guards. I've also used the nut files, fret rocker, and radius gauges so for $20 it was a good deal. The diamond files are kinda cheesy, but with the fret clippers and acoustic pegs, it was a hell of a deal.

I have a mix of StewMac and Amazon tools. For most things, the Amazon stuff is fine. Radius gauges definitely don’t need to be from StewMac, that’s for sure. But if you can afford their stuff, you know it’s going to be high quality.

I have had really good results with the Baroque crowning file, but a buddy of mine said his gouged up his frets quite a bit. He may have just got a dud. Solid tool for me though. Just needs a good micromesh polish when you're done crowing

I literally bought the same kit last week... and its perfect for me just to work on my guitars at home. Stewmac is much more the professional luthier's choice. Im fine with my kit for 30 bucks, its just right.

Yes, you could use a key chain to hold them together. Thanks for doing this. I'm thinking about getting the kit. I see that Stewart mac already has the fret wires.

Like that fret crowing file. Let us know how long it lasts. We just paid bills with our stimulus 😖

Looking forward to your store opening. Stay safe. 👍

Awesome

Love the KYG shirt.

What is the long rectangular pink file for?

I really don't see the point in a fret levelling beam. Just buy a box level / spirit level from your local diy shop and save yourself a bunch of money. They are more or less the same thing as a fret levelling beam except they have spirit levels on them. I got a spirit level a couple of weeks back (400mm) for £6 ($7.66), and it's the perfect size for doing the job on the completely flat and straight bottom edge of it.

What is the thing you grab at 2:07 mins in?

Steve Morse!!

I was confused about a stimulus check ... I thought he was tested and yes - he was stimulated! Check. I take it this is like the money Nixon, in Futurama, gave out and Fry drank 100 coffees? If someone made a set of reasonably priced bass and guitar nut files I would buy them in an instant. I used a series of inappropriate tools from my toolbox and for sure this improved 1st fret intonation. Would just like a decent set rather than using ceramic tile saw, junior hacksaw blades, a mini file, some emery cloth wrapped around a cocktail stick etc etc.

stew mac is way over priced they know they are basiclthe only tool ccomp for guitar builders and techs.

Was that a knuckle buster?

I purchased a 25 piece Guitar Tool kit off of Amazon its Perfect So what's the deal Cause you didn't like it That's your problem

2:08 what is this thing? I have this kit and I cannot figure out what the hell it is supposed to be used for. The item in the bottom right of the kit.

Bunch of junk

I bought a Corgi with my stimulus check. 👍🏼😂🤣
