Necessity for any stringed instrument shop!
Much needed tool for guitar or stringed instrument shops. OK.. you CAN nip the tangs with a fret cutter, but you'll have to file MUCH more material under the bead for each fret. these work very well. They're quick and don't take much force.
Necessary for refrets where you're working around the existing binding, nibs, etc. or even for a slight cut when you don't want the tangs fighting your beveling job. You have to file a TINY bit to get it perfectly flat but it doesn't take much effort. This doesn't crimp and warp the tang either--clean cut. Think of when you need to refret a mandolin or small instrument and it's very difficult to hold the small frets doing it the old way.
If you do refrets you need one. I may get the "deluxe" next if that one is strong enough to cut stainless frets too.
