I don't know about the best but I do own a hand filer from Speed Pro and a electric one from Pro Form Both do the job but the electric one is way faster and easier Be careful on the electric one and when switching from the Moly top rings to the second cast iron ring, the cast iron rings are way softer than the top moly rings and it is real easy to make the gap to big Take your time on this procedure especially if you haven't done a set already on either type of ring filer File a little and check it, and and do that again until you get what sizes you want

Summit gets them from our factory. I'll sell you the same thing for $46.95. We have a lifetime warranty, even on the grinding disc. You can look us up on eBay (racecar tools) or see the website at area51groupllc.com. Ring grinders, valve spring testers, height mics, the best rod-bolt stretch indicator on the market, rearend setup tool kit, leakdown testers, cylinder head stands...discounts on multiple-tool orders, too. You won't find better bang for your buck.

A little help full trick, if you use a hand crank filer, count the number of cranks to get the tolerance needed. Then repete for the rest of the rings. As said above, molly is harder than cast so more crank revolutions will be needed.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
