I carve stone and this tool is my go to weapon of choice. It works and handles great. Highly recommend.

Le hice el favor a un amigo de comprarlas y me estuvo comentando que está encantado con la lima(escofina), realiza un excelente trabajo y hasta ahora todo va muy bien

Bellissima, funziona benissimo e dovrebbe durare una vita intera. Da avere!

I've used rasps of various kinds for a long time - the classic [[ASIN: B08528RLM4 four-in-hand]] typifying the category. This is a huge technology boost in at least two ways. First, it has no built-in direction: forward, backward, or side to side, it grips the wood the same way no matter which way you go. The classic rasp cuts on the push stroke only, limiting how you might approach your workpiece. Second, gives a better balance between fast cutting and smooth finish. I mean, this leaves a rough surface, but without the grooves and gouges a traditional rasp leaves behind. You can move a lot of wood fast, with a good bit less cleanup when that step's done. I can't verify the third big difference from experience, but the carbide cutting surface should hold up better than steel after long use. A fair number of my files just don't cut like they used to, and not just the ones I inherited. I'll keep them around for the smoother cut and, when not even that is worth keeping, I'll still have some tool steel to repurpose. This tool doesn't seem amenable to that kind of recycling. On the other hand, you can supposedly clean clogged teeth with a torch - something that might put the temper on a rasps' cutting edge at risk. It's a new favorite for coarse forming of wood, highly recommended if that's something you do. -- wiredweird

I didn’t expect to love these as much as I do. I find that I use this where I might have grappled a piece of sand paper or perhaps a hand plane. One application I didn’t consider until I had it was inside corners on shoe mold. The rounded rasp fits it like a glove and removes material quickly and precisely. The half round is flat on the back so if you have tried using these before the half rounds may be a good place to start so you get the round on the front and the flat on the back. Also of note is the coarse and fine - course is smoother than I imagined it would be and the fine is truly just about a finish ready surface. The seem very durable and I really can’t imagine how long they will last but something tells me it is a good long time. I should also mention the rubber grip is comfortable and allows for great control of the tool.
