Method offers a curated range of professional e-file tools designed to support your full workflow, including prep bits, carbide removal bits, sanding bands, and mandrels. Each product is intentionally designed to work together as a system.

To get started with Method, you don’t need everything—you just need the right combination of tools. A simple, effective setup includes: One prep bit for clean, controlled nail preparation One removal bit based on your preferred speed and control Sanding bands + a mandrel for refining and versatility This combination gives you a complete system for prep, removal, and refinement.

If you’re building your kit, start with tools that match your workflow: For detailed prep → Flame or Micro Detail For efficient surface prep → Prep Barrel For maximum speed → Power Barrel For balanced control + access → Pro Taper For controlled, consistent removal → Precision Barrel You can start with one of each category or build your system over time.

If you want to keep it minimal: Prep: Flame Bit Removal: Precision Barrel Refinement: 150 or 240 sanding bands This gives you a clean, controlled workflow without overcomplicating your setup.

No—Method tools are designed to work individually or as a system. You can start with a few essentials and expand as your workflow evolves. Many techs choose to use multiple bits to increase efficiency and control, but it’s not required.

Method tools are professional-grade, designed for nail techs who prioritize control, efficiency, and performance. Beginners can use them with proper e-file training.

Yes—all Method bits and mandrels use a standard 3/32” shank, compatible with most professional e-file machines.
