Why does nobody talk about the difference between a regular rasp and a four-in-hand?

I was working on a tough quarter crack last week and swapped from my old rasp to a new four-in-hand file. The extra control and different cuts let me shape the hoof wall way faster without getting stuck. What's your go-to tool for tricky shaping jobs?

What's the biggest job you'd use the four-in-hand for?

What, you think I can tell my four-in-hand apart from my regular rasp? Half the time I just grab whatever's not buried under coffee cups.

Honestly, I still reach for my old rasp first, it just feels right.
