Have any of you folks used the Save Edge 5 slim nail. If so what do you think.

Thanks

Ray Steele

Hey Ray,
Greatest thing since sliced bread.
They are very slim and beveled on all four sides so they dont split up the hoof but the shank by the head is a full nail so it dosent get shorn off by the shoe twisting.
I use them on a couple thin walled sliders and have never lost one yet in threeyears on the one horse.
I always keep a few in my box and go through about five pounds a year.
They are thin, so you have to hold your tongue just right to drive them sometimes.
My $0.02,

I personally dont' like them at all. I think they are too soft. I only use Capewell and Delta and they both seem to work the best w/ Capewell coming out on top when it comes to nice clinches.

I tried one of the sample packs you get with rasps and 4 out of ten ruddered the wrong way. Didn't use the rest.

I have driven a few hundred of them and thought they were alright.

g,day
well I hope they are better that the rasps
what going on ?
the quallity of the rasps has crashed dramatically
weak insipet teeth with no back or gullet in them and no life
simmons are fast headding the same way
you jokers pay , what around $10 for them we pay $40 to $47.50 I can get them a little cheaper if I by in bulk

have a look through you old tool box and compare and old rasp to a new one

Im sorry Mr Simmons and Mr Safedge but your letting us and yourselves down and Im bloody dissapointed and looking very hard for someones better product

as far as nails go fellers I use Aussie nails theyve a good variaty and serve me well ,

If you think Im slagging you ,and hiding behind a cloke of anominity, and youd like to bull****** to me about your product

Fix em up fellers

Couldn't agree more about Savedge rasps latetly Red,gone right down hill.

I had a Heller Legend flat **** out on me after about ten feet. I nip pretty flat, but it just quit smoothing, it will not even dress feet! Hopefully it was just a bad rasp, not a portender of things to come!

I, too, thought the last couple of boxes of savedges were pretty poor.... glad to hear others feel the same way and I just wasn't off my medication........

Hey Jason,

I use the Black Heller Legends and really like them....every now and then I seem to get one that only lasts about 1/2 as long as the others....but for the most part they are good and sharp (maybe too sharp based on my hands) and last through quite a few feet

I was very fond of the simmonds black master
and would use nothing ealse if given the choise
but they have ****** thenselves as well
very dissapointed

I think note this is just my oppinion , that the manufacturers are well and truley on to the fact that we sharpen them up on a buff and have as shuch have redesinged the teeth to very much limit this and force up to by more rasps
this to me sucks

i have never used sqave edge nails. i usually drive aussies for those thin walls and my sliders. i us mx50/55 and delta ch5slim and e5 slim when using pads they are long and have good tensile strength to them. i am really partial to the aussies though.

rasps, i wonder if there is quality control on the production of these rasps. not just simmonds, save edge or bellota. but all of them, i have beenusing blak legends and i am very disappointed in there cutting quality and logevity, especially for the price you get for them. i am swithing back to the heller's they semmed to be the best so far, as far a life expectancy versus price goes.

red those ausie nails are nice!!!

don

Thats nice to hear/see you say that Don thanks mate

we of the down under like em

I bought a box of a 100 of the Save Edge Slims.. They seem to be pretty good. They were right on course for me. Look like a quality nail, they dont twist off as easy as the capewells, and a hair longer and bit harder. But I'll use em on thin walled beasts.

I just got a notice that Save Edge will now offer 5 ch and 5 sb nails in a conventional flat square edged nail.
