9 Shinto Saw Rasp

I love it. It is one of my best rough in tools.

Awesome tool. Perfect, read the other reviews... This thing could clear a forest! OK, maybe not, but a great tool for the price.

Effortlessly devours hardwood in a flurry of sawdust. It is very effective and easy to control with precision, requiring very little pressure. It make smooth, shallow cuts, which are easy to sand out. Im a bit disappointed with the build quality. The riviting on mine, is on the sloppy side and the handle isnt as secure as Id like. However, the way this tool is designed and constructed, these issues are no doubt an engineering challenge that would significantly complicate the build and increase price, to solve, therfore its forgivable. I have concerns about its durability, but at this price, its worth the risk for such a high performance tool. All its faults considered, its the best performing rasp Ive ever used. Ive completed a couple major projects with it and well gotten my moneys worth, so if it ends up falling apart, Ill probably buy another. UPDATE: 18 months of regular and often demanding use and this thing is still rockin! I recently worked for more than an hour on an axe head, with a file. I was getting nowhere, so I put the Shinto rasp to it and in 5 min, had cut a clean, flat bevel on the blade. It shreds tempered steel, just like wood. More amazing, is that it didnt dull and still cuts wood like new. It was like the old Ginsu commercial where they cut rebar with it and then fillet a tomato. LOVE THIS MONSTER!

Best wide, flat rasp that I ever used.

Like the product but wish the package would be in English to help us understand the functionality of the Rasp! I cannot speak or read Japanese......

Soy de Perú, y el articulo llego en perfectas condiciones y ya lo estoy usando cumple todo lo prometido en la publicación.

Saw these in a video and had to have one, they are the best thing since sliced toast! If you do shaping in woodwork, these are a must-have.

Fine side is quick enough to remove material but smooth enough that it only needs small amount of sanding afterwards. The other side eats through material like a champ. I use that side as a semi planer for tight/awkward areas. A definite must buy for woodworkers.

super fast service great quality for the money

I do a lot of shaping wood and this tool does a great job at removing stock fast. Has a course side and a fine side. If you are a wood worker, this tool will quickly become a favorite.. Walking sticks, flutes, spindles.. you name it..
