Your cart is empty.The Heller Black Master is a finely toothed rasp, similar to the Red Tang. This rasp is especially well suited for hard, dry hooves. The Black Master differs from the Red Tang through the addition of an extra coating that ensures the material is released from the rasp more easily and makes it more wear resistant. This rasp is suitable for many horses and particularly those that spend a lot of time outside where the hooves accumulate sand and mud that can have a negative impact on the wear process of rasps. The file side of the Heller rasps is sharp, enabling efficient removal of material with little effort.

I read up on many different rasps. I decided on this one and I’m very happy with that decision. I trim my own horses and this one has been the best I’ve ever used. I think the price is great for the quality.

Beautiful, strong, sharp rasp. Use on my mustang who has thick hooves and this is the first rasp to truly trim his feet! Love it - a pro rasp for sure!

This rasp works so good! Just be careful, it works so good that it will take a lot of foot off really fast so dont go overboard.

This rasp is fantastic! If you’re looking for a workhorse that is going to take off a lot of foot quickly this is your guy! This Rasp is SHARP and stays sharp! Do not use without gloves, or you will cut off your knuckles. Use your gloves! I will never not have this in my tool kit from now on.

Has held up great after several uses. Sharp, fits well in your hand, and makes the job just a little easier.

I've had this rasp for 1.5 years now and it's been great. I have 1 horse that I trim. She is a rescue and had severe issues requiring her to be sedated for farrier work. I no longer have to sedate her and I work a tiny bit on her feet every time I'm out so the rasp is used frequently, if not for long periods of time. I did not purchase a handle; I always just wear good gloves. I tend to leave my tools on the ground for short periods of time so they get dirty/muddy. I gave this rasp a dab of Absorbine Hooflex (any oil based product wold have worked...it was just what I had on hand) and it hasn't rusted at all and is still very sharp. I have smallish hands and some strength/arthritis issues yet I still find this rasp to be a great tool.

WHY can't all file makers produce files like this? I use this on wood, and it files a true flat surface, not like some that every burr follows the last in each stroke creating ridges that you need another file to get rid of them. Excellent product. keep the wrapper to protect and store the file. Check out Heller products for other models.

I trim my own horse's hooves and this rasp makes the job a lot easier. Better quality than other rasps so worth the $$.

Really nice rasp. We have had many different ones over the years but this would be one of our favorites especially if you have hard dry hooves

I frequently rasp my horses' hooves between farrier visits to keep them from chipping and cracking. The difference a new, sharp, quality rasp makes is amazing! Literally a few swipes, and boom, you're done! I had purchased a different brand new rasp last time, and I may as well have been using a cheese grater for all the effect it had. Just one note... when using this, wear heavy leather gloves! It will shave the skin off your hand before you feel a thing, and it's very easy to do. Excellent product.
