I have a torture one in those kits you find at tjmaxx. Going on 15 years now. I've replaced the tweezers and clips with tweezerman a few ago for reference.
Get this cuz you want higher quality. But you don't have to pretend like the shit ones disintegrate or wear down.

15-20$ gets you a decent Pferd file for steel which are among the best on the market. Yeah 40$ for a nail file is overpriced by about 35$ because it does not require any real hardening for that, it's just finely grooved sheet metal that can fly out of a production machine and hardly requires any workers to operate it...
Sure enough you can find a bunch on aliexpress for 2-3$.
Also, the same Japanese one is 14.5$ on Japanese Amazon, it's just terribly overpriced when exported.
