Works for me - fret barber

[Dave Bagwill]

So I dropped some heavy cash on Stewmac and got the fret barber.
Used it today for the first time, and it does exactly what I want it to, which is to up my fretting game a notch.
This is not a tool that most people need, but it takes some anxiety out of what I do with my particular challenges - bad eyesight etc.
I'm happy with it. My fret slots are .022" and I usually press in or pound the frets and sometimes the barbs are just too wide. So today I ran the length of fretwire - 2' - through the fretbarber with the .022 shim - results still would involve a lot of pounding. Then to the .020 shim - better. Then the .018" shim - perfect. The frets press in with finger pressure - they don't just drop in though you could do that as well - but just a nice snug fit, and a drop of CA at either end and once again, Bob's your uncle. Perfect seating.

Ah Dave, you finally got the thing. Glad it does what it should do. Fine stuff you have over there ;-)
