High Carbon Steel File Set 3 Piece with Handles

This file set shows poor repairability prospects based on user experiences. While the high-carbon steel files themselves are durable, the set has critical weak points that make long-term maintenance difficult.

• •Brittle small files: Multiple users report needle files snapping in two on basic use, even on soft materials like plastic - suggesting unrepairable metal failure
• •No repair support: No warranty beyond 30-day returns, with terms explicitly disclaiming durability warranties and stating products are sold as is
• •Quality control issues: Users received bent tips, rust on arrival, and improperly attached handles - indicating manufacturing problems rather than fixable wear

Bottom line: When the small files break (which happens frequently), you can't fix them - you just lose that tool. The handles are permanently attached, and there's no parts availability or repair guidance from REXBETI.

Mixed bag here — the high-carbon steel files themselves show promise, but critical flaws in the smaller tools and abysmal quality control drag this set down hard.

• •Core material wins: Users confirm the larger files are genuinely high-carbon steel that stays sharp on aluminum and steel, with one calling them durable and wear-resistant even after repeated use
• •Fatal brittleness issue: Multiple reports of smaller files snapping in two on basic use, with one breaking immediately while filing plastic — that's not normal wear, that's defective metallurgy
• •Quality control disaster: Bent tips on arrival, rust out of the box, missing files, and a carrying case so cheap it self-destructs from normal use — feels like nobody's checking these before shipping

Bottom line: Could've been great given the solid steel in the larger files, but when tools break on soft materials and arrive pre-damaged, this isn't BIFL material — it's a dice roll whether you'll get 5 years or 5 minutes.

REXBETI offers a basic 1-year limited warranty on their file sets, covering only manufacturing defects and not normal wear and tear or damage from improper use.

• •Coverage Terms: Only manufacturing defects are covered; explicitly excludes wear, unauthorized repairs, and damage from misuse.
• •Claim Process: Must contact retailer first or email REXBETI with proof of purchase; reviewers report inconsistent support.
• •Quality Concerns: Multiple users report smaller files breaking during normal use, which would likely not be covered as the warranty excludes normal use wear.

Bottom line: The 1-year limited warranty has significant exclusions, and real-world evidence suggests claims for common breakage issues may be difficult to resolve successfully.

Mixed signals from the community. Amazon reviewers appreciate the high-carbon steel quality and comprehensive variety, but report serious quality control issues including brittle smaller files that snap during normal use and a flimsy storage case that self-destructs. Reddit's BIFL community values durability above all else, and these reports of files breaking on soft materials like plastic would raise red flags.

• •Praise pattern: Users love the steel quality with one saying the files are durable and wear-resistant even on metals, plus the comfortable rubber handles prevent blisters
• •Major concern: Multiple reports of smaller files snapping in two on basic use, with one user saying it broke almost immediately on plastic
• •Storage complaints: The included case is universally panned - files sliding in and out actually destroy the elastic and fabric

Bottom line: At $26, it's decent for light hobby use, but the brittle smaller files and poor quality control mean it's not true BIFL material that Redditors would recommend.
