Hoof trimming tools - home storage ideas please

[Tiddlypom]

What do people store all their home hoof trimming tools in?

I’m set up with all the tools below. It’s pretty decent kit. It is currently all residing in a Sainsbury’s carrier bag, which is far from ideal. I want this stuff to last.



A normal open plastic tack tray is not long or deep enough. The rasps are 55 cm long inc handles.

Do people use a suitable tool box, something like this?

Mine live in the stables as I am usually trimming someone every couple of days however best place inside is the airing cupboard. My spare rasps join OH's welding rods, sand papers and various other bits and pieces. They keep beautifully in there.

i have mine in an old aluminimum tool case (breifcase size), it does just fit one flat rasp corner to corner and the rest of the bits (radius rasps etc) fit around it, it is quite useful as it has a divider, so madam’s pop socks with the toes cut off to hold back her feather live in the other side of the case. I like the Stanley box you’ve pictured though, I could be seriously tempted to upgrade!

Cheap and cheerful IKEA type plastic storage box, the see through type

I use one of those grooming bags and hang it from a hook .

Mine are in a wrap which has long pockets, it was a butcher's knife roll wrap previously I think. The outside is canvas (like the old New Zealand rugs)

My trimmer said main thing is to clean with brush immediately after use, and then spray well with WD40. To prevent rusting.

My trimmer uses a soft sided tool box. Seems like a good solution.

Thanks, all, for your helpful suggestions and different ideas.

I think I like the idea of a soft sided tool bag, to be kept in the house to keep everything dry.

Mine are in a bucket that won't hold water and has no other use.

Mine live in the back of the car - rhs, just inside the tailgate, so I can grab and do it quickly whilst we're tacking up if required.
Perhaps if I had a similar system for saddle wipes, my tack would be cleaner :/

Bucket in the grooming parlour, I use the rasp every few days so it is handy to have it... handy!
