Precision Hoof Pick?



Have any of you guys used one? I'm probably going to order one, but I was wondering if any of you liked them/have used them?
Thanks a bunch! They look like a pretty handy little tool!

I bought one. IMO not comfortable to hold or easy to hold. good for measuring though. but for that, I can use a little six inch ruler. If you do a lot of horses and like to take lots of measurements, its probably a good investment.

I have one and I don't find it very useful.  I have a thin metal measuring tool that I use for teaching purposes and it is in metric, something I like better

What is the reason behind the desire to have one?  As a pick it is very very uncomfortable in your hand, all angles.

Oh, thanks guys, that really helps! Today I was debating whether it is worth it of not. I merely wanted it for measure heel height, but after I thought about it, I realized it was more of a want, than a need.
Thanks for your input though! I really appreciate it!

IMYou've already got a built in measuring system hanging right at the end of your wrist.  All you have to do is know how long your thumb is and how wide your palm is and you can, with a great deal of accuracy, measure any part of the hoof any time you so desire.
