I've got the cheaper version of these for mine (£1.75 as opposed to £3.95!) and find they are very good for cleaning out the deep clefts, much more effective than the other style with a flatter tip. Having compared the two I can't see much difference except price!

They are very different - oster loads better - different angle!

I've got the Oster one and the cheaper one and I can't see any difference in mine apart form the colour. Haven't studied them really closely though! M has really deep clefts too and these are FANTASTIC at getting right in there. They 're also brilliant at clearing packed in ice and snow because of the slightly sharper point.

I like the Oster one as it is more pointy and I can get more little stones out of the white line. (D is barefoot.) But I do wish is was a bit more pointy still as I still struggle with the tiny ones. Maybe I should get Joe to sharpen it? LOL!

You could get a cheap one and sharpen it Linda

I'v got an oster one too but I don't get on with it. I like the way the handle feels to hold but somehow I can't use it as effectively as a normal one. Also, like Linda, I'd like something more pointy to get the tiny stuff out of the white line area on Quest. Doesn't seem to be a problem with Harvey.

harveydales, I get what you mean. I have a cheaper version and find it hard to get on with too. I find a plain 'ol hoofpick just as effective  |

Glad I'm not the only one who cant' get on with it.  I bought on when Blossom was due to arrive, but I've used the old cheap ones for so long that the Oster one is really awkward for me. I kept trying to 'pick air' with it because the angle is different. Also I have very tiny hands, so the handle isn't as comfortable for me. It does seem a very durable, well made product though. |

Linda This is where I have to confess that I use the small screwdriver on my penknife to get the small stones out of Merlin's white line...
