Alligator clincher, vinyl covered handle
The Cattlemans/GVR alligator clincher is a nail tool for horseshoe work and part of a farrier's equipment. An alligator clincher is used to turn down and press the protruding ends of driven horseshoe nails against the hoof. This is one of the steps involved in securing a horseshoe. The tool is approximately 35 cm long and has vinyl-covered handles. The product's listed material is steel. The term “alligator clincher” identifies the type of nail tool. It is useful to distinguish it from other farrier tools: this clincher works on horseshoe nails and is not a hoof nipper used to trim the hoof wall. It is therefore intended for farriery rather than general hoof care. Manufacturer: Cattlemans/GVR Product type: Alligator clincher Use: Nail tool for horseshoe nails Material: Steel Handles: Vinyl-covered Length: Approx. 35 cm Package contents: 1 piece
Forged hammer with wooden handle
The forged hammer by Cattlemans/GVR has a puller claw for removing hoof nails. It features a robust wooden handle and a drop-forged head with a round edge. Perfectly balanced and measures approximately 28 cm in length. Its key features are therefore a forged steel-and-wood hammer, a wooden handle and an integrated claw for pulling hoof nails. It is supplied as one individual tool. Manufacturer: Cattlemans/GVR Tool type: forged hammer with puller claw Claw function: removing hoof nails Hammer head: drop-forged, with a round edge Handle: robust wooden handle Material: steel and wood Length: approx. 28 cm Balance: described as perfectly balanced Package contents: 1 hammer If you need a farrier hammer with a wooden handle and an integrated nail puller, this model combines both features in one tool. Its approximate 28 cm length is another point to consider when selecting a hammer.
Hoof buffer for farriery, black steel
The Cattlemans/GVR hoof buffer is a steel tool used in farriery. A buffer is used when working on horseshoe nail clinches: it helps knock down and set the bent-over nail ends after shoeing. This places the tool among the equipment used when working on a shod horse's hoof. This model is made of steel and has a black finish. In English farriery terminology, “hoof buffer” is also referred to as a “clinch buffer”. The term describes a tool used to work on the clinches of horseshoe nails. It should not be confused with a hoof rasp or hoof nippers, which are used for different tasks such as rasping or trimming the hoof wall. The distinction matters when selecting tools for hoof-care and shoeing work. Manufacturer: Cattlemans/GVR Product type: Hoof buffer / clinch buffer Material: Steel Colour: Black Package contents: 1 piece
Hoof nipper, handle with plastic coating
The Cattlemans/GVR hoof nipper is a tool for hoof trimming. It has plastic-coated handles and combines a steel body with a plastic coating. A hoof nipper is generally used to trim the hoof wall.

Depending on stock availability, this model is supplied in an approximate length of either 15 or 16 inches. Manufacturer: Cattlemans/GVR Product type: Hoof nipper Handle: Plastic coating Material: Steel and plastic Length: Approx. 15 or 16 inches, depending on stock Package contents: 1 piece
