I can assure you they're not simply feeler guages. You can see they've been machined semi-by hand. As to durability, I admit I've only done a handful of nuts since I got them. I did get one of the stewmac double sided files once, I believe a .012/.016, and the edge got a little chipped up with use. For the price of the Norman files, you get bass string sizes as well though.
