Hammers
Clipping a horseshoe is a highly precise task that combines several skills and techniques. To get the most out of your clip-forging technique, you’ll need a clipping hammer that is well-balanced to avoid twisting and carefully constructed to provide shock absorption and toughness. Not all hammers fit neatly into broad categories. In our specialty hammer section, you’ll find hammers precision-built to respond to specialized blacksmithing and farrier demands. Look through our specialty hammers for grooving, bordering, embossing, chasing, and planishing hammers, as well as hammers built from specialty materials.
The most important part of a hammer is the head, a compact solid mass that is able to deliver the blow to the intended target without deforming use after use. The Well N Gud Farrier driving hammers come in a standard heavy and light version. A well-balanced hammer with correctly angled nailing surface for the best possible working position is ideal for the professional farrier. The hole in the head of the Well N Gud Farrier farrier hammers have been made big enough to fit a handle with a size that will be harder to break. The handle is made of top quality for the best possible strength and is large enough to be shaped to an individual hand size. This tool can be used to drive, cut and clinch nails. For durability the highest quality tool steel has been chosen and tempered to a correct hardness. Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer.
