Definitely worth every penny I spent. I’ve tried quite a few different rasps and this is by far my favorite. It has lasted 10x longer than any of the others and chews right through really hard really dry hooves like it’s nothing with a fraction of the effort in less time. You do want to be careful the first few times you use it because it will take off a lot more material than you think. I bought the medium blade and it’s more aggressive than most aggressive rasps I’ve used before. My dad loves it and steals it all the time when he’s doing his big gelding with very hard black hooves. He tells everyone he knows about it too. This Christmas he’s getting one of his own under the tree so he will stop stealing mine.
