Review on Kutzall Original 8" Warding Hand Rasp - Coarse, Wood Rasp/File Used For Woodworking & Shaping, W/Ergonomic Soft Grip Handle, Absrasive Tungsten Carbide Coating - 13" (330.2Mm) Overall Length - WD8330 by Frank Villanueva

I was reluctant to buy this rasping file because it was so expensive. And I was rightly concerned that the abrasive coating would be fragile—it is. In using the tool to precision shape walnut wood, I do sometimes lose coating, which will shorting the file’s lifespan. However, when it comes to precision-shaping wood so that it exactly fits an adjacent abutting surface, this is the tool to have. These days a lot of " professionals " do sloppy cuts and fill the gaps with caulking or cover with moulding. But when irregular pieces must match with complementary exactitude, careful wood-working with this rasp gives the results that most " professionals " are too money-driven to achieve. This tool is for the hobbiest for whom high-quality results take precedence over finishing the job quickly. What will I do when the fragile coating wears thin? Buy another one, of course.
