This is a great file that is easy to use and did make a big difference in an acoustic guitar I had that had fret ends I thought could be smoother. The handle is ergonomic and two sides of the file are totally smooth, as is the tip, so you realize can’t damage your guitar as you use it. Just make sure to watch some videos so you get the angle right - you’re not supposed to file it flush. Also, they put an arrow on the handle to let you know which file side is the coarser side, but to be honest I found it confusing because the arrow pertains to how you’re holding the handle when it should have just pointed to the coarser side itself. It’s technically pointing towards one of the totally smooth “safe” sides. Music Nomad also sells a B-File with the wooden handle but that is really more for actual fret sprout, not smoothing out fret ends.
