Clinch Groovers – Embedding the Rivet Into the Hoof Wall
The clinch groover is used to embed the rivet into the hoof wall . There are models available for both left- and right-handed users, as well as double-sided versions. We offer clinch groovers from Dick, Double S, and SELL in our product range.
Made from high-quality tool steel combined with a sturdy wooden handle, the Double S clinch groover is used to remove hoof material beneath the nails during riveting
Double S also offers a practical combination tool that merges the clinch groover with the clinch cutter.
Dick – the professional farrier's trusted brand – also offers clinch groovers in its hoof and claw care range. We carry both the single-sided and double-sided versions from Dick.
As a manufacturer of composite horseshoes , we would like to emphasize the importance of proper clinching / riveting. Correct clinching and full embedding of the nails in the nailing slot are essential for ensuring the horseshoe stays securely on the hoof. This is the only way to prevent the horseshoe from rotating or shifting. After riveting, it is crucial to smooth down both the rivets and the hoof wall to minimize the risk of injury from protruding nails.

Please observe our safety instructions and current occupational safety regulations when working with our composite horseshoes and related accessories, especially when using the clinch groover.
