HammerHead 0 (24 × 250) by Mustad

The Mustad HammerHead nail is engineered specifically for racing applications. Its distinctive waffle-pattern head grips into the shoe’s U-crease to resist upward movement, while the slim, long shank enables “high driving” for better clinch angles. Combined with Mustad’s Pitch technology, this nail provides a secure hold with reduced hoof wall trauma. Typically offered in box quantities like 250 for efficient farrier use.
