Heller Black Master Rasp

Heller Black Master Hoof Rasp

A finely toothed, wear-resistant professional farrier rasp designed for hard, dry hooves and demanding working conditions.

The Heller Black Master Hoof Rasp combines the fine tooth structure of the popular Red Tang with an additional protective coating designed to improve material release and increase resistance to wear.

Featuring six teeth per row, the Black Master is particularly well suited to hard, dry hoof horn and horses that spend significant time outdoors, where accumulated sand, dirt and mud can contribute to increased rasp wear.

Designed for Hard, Dry Hooves

Like the Heller Red Tang, the Black Master features a fine, closely structured tooth pattern that performs particularly well on hard and dry hoof material.

The fine teeth provide controlled, efficient cutting action, making it an excellent choice for farriers working in dry conditions or with naturally hard hooves.

Additional Wear-Resistant Coating

What sets the Black Master apart from the Red Tang is its specialised additional coating.

This coating is designed to:

• Help hoof material release more easily from the rasp
• Reduce material build-up during use
• Improve resistance to wear
• Provide greater durability in demanding working conditions

Ideal for Outdoor Horses

Sand, dirt and mud carried in the hoof can contribute to rasp wear over time.

The Black Master's additional coating makes it particularly suitable for horses that spend considerable time outdoors, where the farrier may regularly encounter abrasive contaminants during hoof preparation.

Sharp File Side

The file side of the Heller Black Master provides a sharp, efficient cutting surface, allowing material to be removed effectively without unnecessary effort.

This provides the farrier with a versatile tool for both initial hoof preparation and controlled finishing.
