Kraft Tool DC135 Rasp, 5-1/2-Inch

Waited 2 weeks of using on drywall project before reviewing. For drywall this is a must. It will straighten out bad cuts, or shave 1/4 inch off too long of cuts. Most negative reviews I saw were for wood projects. The first weekend of putting up drywall, I thought I could just use a razor blade knife to clean up cuts, I even used a sharp chisel, I was wasting time trying to get clean sides. So glad I watched YouTube and they said use a rasp. I highly recommend this tool.

Funny thing I have a drywall rasp that is 12 inches long. About 40yrs old and sharp as a razor. never used it becaus eit is so cumbersome. This rasp is great. Fits in the pam and quickly removes gypsum burrs from a cut piece of drywall. A word of caution: ONLY USE THIS ON SOFT MATERIAL LIKE GYPSUM. The teeth will NOT hold up if used on wood. Prob OK to use on foam board.

Very handy and all, but the replaceable cheese grater part-the blade tends to move around a little. Overall not perfect, but close

Screw came loose once while using it. Other than that it worked well for trimming small amounts of drywall off. I used this in combination with a razor. This was slower but more exact. Used it quite a bit while finishing my basement. Good addition to your toolset if you're finishing a room of drywall, but not necessary for just a few pieces.

I love this rasp. I have never had one before but it seems to be good so far. I use it on my dry wall when my cuts are not perfect. I wish I had one a long time ago. Makes short time of over sized cuts even up to a half inch of material. If you don't have one and you work with dry wall. Get one you won't regret it.

Sometime the cheap stuff doesnt work well. But thia tool lived up too my needs.

I am a drywall hanger I use these all the time during my work day. I bought this because I wanted a metal screw to hold the blade because Stanley switched to a cheap plastic screw that never holds on theirs. But this one comes loose all the time as well I had to put nut lock on the screw to keep it from coming loose so often . And the rasp blade that comes with it is not very sharp . Also note that when I got the rasp the blade was installed backwards I turned it the correct way it is just not very sharp . Anyone that buys this and is having problems with it not working at all as I saw in one review should consider flipping the rasp blade the other way to see it that helps . Seems durable enough does not seem to want to break or anything not like the cheap plastic Stanley screw. It just sucks that I still have to play games getting the screw to stay locked down tight so the blade does not come loose.

I have been using it on my wood lathe to ruff shaping Pen Blanks, works better than a gouge for an even bevel. Just need to remember to keep it moving side to side!
