Radius Rasp White RR-1 Original & Black RR-2 Pro Combo Set Farrier Hoof Tool

Description

You come across those items every once in a while where you say 'wow, why didn't I get this before?'.... well for me, the Black Pro Radius Rasp and White Original Radius Rasp were one of those items and along with my Hoofjack (we sell Hoofjacks separately) these are some of the best tools I have come across for doing trimming, removing flares, making that mustang roll, and just keeping the hoofs in better condition.   According to the manufacturer, this is the first tool line designed and created especially for natural hoof care.  I can personally attest that it is easy to use and worth owning.
Here's a little about the radius rasp.  First you need to know that there are two models and in this listing you are getting both.  There is a white one and a black one.  Both are great tools and while they can be used alone, they work best if used together.  In simplest form, the black one is used first; its a stainless curved rasp that is courser and removes more hoof material faster.  And then there is the white one which shaves the hoof similar to a cheese grater and is used to remove smaller amounts leaving a much smoother finished look.  I find the black one works best to establish the shape and remove large flares and the white one works best to finish up or between trims where I want to maintain the hoof or for those times I want better control of how much is removed.
So now, more about the item I have for sale in this listing:
The Radius Rasp-2  'PRO'-- Has a Replaceable Solid Stainless Steel Standard Rasp Blade
The Black Radius Rasp-2 PRO (RR-2) is a more aggressive wall rounding tool that rapidly creates the arc of of the Mustang Roll during normal trimming. Its curve allows you to  rasp well above the outer bearing surface of the hoof wall to extend the arc of the 'roll' upward. It leaves a rougher finish than the white RR-1 (sold separately) but cuts faster through the hardened outer layers of the hoof wall. It rapidly smooths the edges left by a 'beveling' nipper cut around the outer edge of the wall. In many cases it can create the basic contour of the Mustand Roll without first making a 'bevel' cut with your nippers. If you are doing a lot of trimming or dealing with hard hooves, the Black Radius Rasp is an essential tool. Like the White one, it is 4 1/2" long and 2" wide, but weighs 13 oz.
Radius Rasp Original (RR-1) White
The White Rasp is the same shape as the black and fits in the palm of the hand, quite literally gliding around the hoof wall's bearing surface (following the direction of the arrow marked on the tool), effortlessly removing debris and irregularities. This enables the shaping of the mustang roll in an unusual and remarkably effective way, using an action similar to a cheese grater. The action is a "shaving" effect. Trimmers who have tested this tool give it high marks for ease of use with a superior result.
The unique blade is perforated rustproof stainless steel.
The Radius Rasp Original is a fantastic tool, and one we predict will soon be considered a standard for natural trimming.
A magnet is also built into the top of the tool for easy attachment to your hoof stand!
The blades of both the white and black radius rasp can be removed and replaced (replacement blades sold separately).
The manufacturer makes each rasp by hand and as a result machine marks may be visable and don’t affect performance.  All products are new and unused.
