This Marshalltown drywall rasp removes 45% more material per stroke than other popular rasps, with a design that ensures the rasp will not clog or collect dust. The rasp works in both directions, meaning less effort is required and the job gets finished quicker. The blade runs right up to the edge of the tool, allowing it to be used in tight spaces. The sharp blade can also be used to file other materials such as backer board and vinyl tiles. The rasp blade is manufactured from long-lasting premium stainless steel and is fitted to a resilient DuraSoft handle, which offers a soft feel, reduces fatigue, and provides excellent robustness. Manufactured in the USA using top-quality materials.
