Does anyone have any recommendations for budget friendly fret work tools? Something like a good fret crowning file, fret smoothing and shining tools, etc?

Does anyone use some budget IEMs that they like or recommend to people? Starting to look into this and there are so many options out there! I'm not in a band or anything so this would mainly be for playing by myself at home. Let me know your suggestions or thoughts if you don't think IEMs are the way to go!

I recently bought a $60 guitar from Temu (shown) as a work/car guitar that I won't feel bad about anything happening to it since I only paid $60. As can be expected out of the box it was in pretty rough shape. Spent a couple of hours working on setting it up, leveling frets, etc. Brought it to work and a coworker said it felt better than his Squier strat that has had a professional setup. So that was a huge boost to my confidence in setting up my guitars and I wanted to share.

I finally found a band that I could join if I wanted to, but they just aren't a good fit for me. The singer is the leader and he has no idea how to lead a band. He kust keeps rotating different people on different days. It's almost like he has 2 different bands going bexause he can't choose between drummrs and bass players. I also really wouldn't have fun playing about 95 percent of the songs he wants to play. Sucks, but I feel like I have to pass and keep looking, even though I have found nothing in my area that is even remotely what I am looking for.
