Clinch Cutters – Removing Steel Shoes Without Damaging the Hoof Wall
The main function of the clinch cutter is to open the rivets so that the nails can be removed from the hoof wall without causing any damage. Many clinch cutters, like the model from Mustad, combine a blade on one side with a type of pritchel on the other. This part of the clinch cutter can also be used as a hoof pick when removing the steel shoes or to extract nail remnants from the hoof wall. According to Mustad, this combination of cutter and cutter enables the farrier to remove almost any horseshoe nail from the hoof wall.
Naturally, the Diamond clinch cutter from the renowned House of Brands by Kerckhaert is also part of our selection. Similar to the Mustad model, the Diamond clinch cutter is also equipped with a pritchel. The blade is ground on both sides, making it suitable for both left- and right-handed users. The punch is also highly versatile and can be used as a hoof pick. A standout feature of the Diamond clinch cutter is its unique corrosion-free titanium coating and its extra-wide striking surfaces, which ensure added durability and working comfort.
The clinch cutter by Double S, made from high-quality tool steel with a wooden handle, does not include a pritchel. However, it is available in both left- and right-handed versions. Double S also offers a practical combi-tool that merges the clinch groover with the clinch cutter.
In addition to renowned international brands, we also carry the popular models from SELL farrier supplies. The SELL clinch cutter, also equipped with a pritchel, is available in red and black.
