Luthier repair?
I try to use it when I did fix an old guitar of mine.
Pros
The spong is good
Cons
Well most of the tools is just junk.
The fret file is a joke, as it cant even file anything. It looks like a very bad/cheap stuff you buy from wish. After some frets it worn out.
The files are okey, but useless to do anything with the frets or nut.
You can forget to file the nut with them. You can use it to file the side of the nut if you install a new one.
The fretboard covers is to thick. Ended up using tejp instead. Mush better.
No I would not recommend anyone to buy this. Its a waste of money and it a shame Thomann sell this junk as a Luthier repair care kit.
It just don't have the quality that is useful.

Stay away from this kit!
This is an absolute waste of time!
A very cheep Chinese kit that you can find on Amazon.
I’ve tried it on home build guitar project and is totally useless!
The fret groove files did wear after a few passes on the fret ends!
The fret-combing file is not so effective. You have to put some effort on it and a lot of passes over the frets to see some results.
The sanding sponge proved to be effective.
So, if you need this kit to round the fret ends, just look elsewhere!
This kit will waste you time and money!

Bad Quality
The files are poorly done, too thick and uneven, the rest is kinda "ok" If you are looking for a nut file, look elsewhere!!

It is cheap, but still more expensive than it's value, which is zero
The files are too rough for guitars, but for other purposes they should be ok, but most likely won't last long.
The fret crowning tool does not do anything to the frets and is slightly bent.
Fretboard protectors are sanding sponge are OK, but can be purchased separately for lower price.

no use for nuts
The set of ten files seems just a set of 10 cheap files, theres not one of them thats any use to cut slots in a nut and im not sure what you meant to use them for. For this to be described as "a luthier repair kit" for repair of frets, nuts and sadles is a bit of a stretch. a more genuine description would be some pound shop files ill suited and ultimately no use for the task.
