The ASNOMY Heavy Duty 8" Steel File and Rasp Set is pretty versatile, handling tasks like sharpening and working on materials like wood, metal, and plastic. The manufacturer says they're made from high carbon W1A-11 1/2 steel, which is known for being tough and strong, so you'd expect them to do well in both heavy-duty and more detailed projects. The set comes with a bunch of files—coarse, medium, fine, and super fine—so you have some flexibility for different jobs.

But from what we've gathered, experiences with durability seem mixed. Some folks have mentioned issues with the handles coming loose during heavy use or parts not holding up well under pressure. So, there might be a bit of a mismatch between the grips and shivs, which can be a problem if you're taking on demanding tasks.

Also, there were a few comments that these tools might not be the best for consistent heavy use over time. Some people noticed rust on the fine file too, which could happen if the tools aren’t properly maintained. Keeping them clean and dry after each use could help increase their lifespan.

All in all, the ASNOMY set seems to offer decent value for the price, doing the job well for various projects if you treat them right.

Just keep in mind the balance between cost and potential durability issues, especially if you're planning on using them for tough tasks. A bit of careful handling and maintenance might make them a good fit for your needs.
