These little round files are fantastic for smoothing and shaping slots, but they are easy to bend if you are too forceful, but they can also cut into the nut surprisingly fast as well so it's easy to go too far if you aren't careful.
They are great if you work gently and take time to stop and check your progress.
I don't think I'd try to cut a new nut with these as they are too flimsy, but for smoothing and shaping existing slots and sharp edges they are excellent.
For the price this is a no-brainer addition to your workshop.

cost effective but not time effective for sure

You need to use these gently and slowly in order to do the filing without any damage to the saddle/nut. So it would take too much of your time for even minor adjustments.
Better to invest in better quality file set(s) or just simply let the luthier take care of the task.

I got these blindly to work on a new baritone setup... At first sight I was sceptical to say the least. But actually it works perfectly, and it's all you can wish for to setup a nut.
Keep a written copy at hand of the article description because the gauges are not written on the files.

Inexpensive, but does its job

Not the best quality in the world, but these are perfectly usable for home use.
