StewMacFret Rocker - The Original Stainless Steel 4-in-1 Mini Straightedge Luthier Tool, Precision-Machined for Accuracy, Locate High Frets Fast

They are known as the best of the best for a reason. I know they cost a little more but they are actually square. Unlike the cheaper models and it’s just not worth taking the risk of ruining your guitar. They worked great and I highly recommend them. The build quality is unmatched. They’re easy to use. The measurements are extremely accurate and they are a great value because they’re gonna last for years and they also have a warranty.

Stewmac stuff is pricey, but this combo is actually a decent value. Super high quality. Very satisfied.

I bought this to fix a few high frets on a new guitar neck, which hardly took any time at all to fix. If I need to fix a fret here or there in the future, this will be extremely useful. It is extremely comfortable in my hands and has a good weight to it - it certainly doesn't feel cheap.Initially, the $100 price tag was jarring for what seems like a simple tool. The overall quality is top-notch and feels like it will last as long as I will ever need it.I have not used the Understring Fret Dressing File that was included, but I always appreciate a bonus tool that could be useful in the future.My only criticism is the packaging. The Fret Kisser came in a plastic bag in a mailer envelope, but the fret dressing file came in a reusable plastic case. For what I would consider a premium product, I would have liked to see even a similar case for the Fret Kisser, if not to just further protect it when shipping. It's not enough to ruin a 5-star review, but it's something I'd love to see for others in the future.If you need to level a few frets on some of your guitars, I couldn't recommend this enough (Note: it's not an all-in-one tool - you will still need to crown and polish frets after leveling them).@StewMac - If you're listening, please consider shipping your Fret Kissers with some kind of container? Otherwise you have a perfect product here.

I'll spare you the rhetoric and hyperbole...if you think that you need this than you do....if you don't think that you need this you are wrong. I have been doing my own work on my guitars for many, many years and I started getting lazy lately and wanted to take my guitars to professionals and have a few that are plek'd now which is great. I actually found a proud fret with this thing on a recently plek'd guitar that allowed to me dial it in exactly how I like it. I bought a guitar online about a month ago that was about 25 years old that was clearly a closet queen because it had never been intonated and frets had zero wear but had significant buzz all over the place. I was able to get the frets leveled and then crowned and dressed in about 2 hours and it plays amazing. I would have had to have leveled the entire fretboard in the past which is always a good time.It's not the cheapest tool, but it's precision, it's well made and most importantly it makes all of your guitars better.

This tool has a specific job - to see if three frets are in the same plane or not. It is thicker than most other fret rockers, heavier than most, and as far as my ability to check it is concerned, perfectly flat, so it does it's job perfectly. Like everything else Stew Mac it seems expensive for what you are buying, but after you have it and forget what you paid you will have a lifetime tool that you are glad you own.

Check out some lurthier forums and you'll find some folks like these and others don't. You probably want to see for yourself. I paid $141.02 plus tax for the pair and recently I saw the Kisser alone on Amazon for about $55.00 so keep your eye on the price if you think it's too steep and you're not in a hurry to get one. I reckon StewMac is selling a lot of these so they may have found a way to reduce manufacturing costs. My other theory is that they have noticed everybody praising StewMac quality but complaining about the high prices. With LMII gone they are doing a lot more business I think too.Well made like all StewMac stuff, and they'll replace it free for life. Some users wear out these diamond files and feel that paying premium prices for the lifetime replacement guarrantee is worth it. I have clogged diamond plates before and got them working better by soaking in Simple Green type stuff and going at them with a nylon scrub brush.

Looks good, haven't use it yet but will follow up when nessasary.

What can I say, it's a Stewmac tool. It is heavy and nicely finished and the idea of a fret kisser is great.
