The Mustad Nipper 14″ is engineered for excellent performance by farriers and hoof-care professionals. Featuring a unique box-joint construction that provides stability and accurate alignment throughout the tool’s lifetime, this nipper maintains consistent cutting performance. Its sharp cutting edges and robust tool-steel construction enable efficient trimming, reducing the need for extensive rasping and improving workflow from detailed to standard trimming tasks.
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used in professional hoof trimming and shoeing sessions for removing excess hoof wall, shaping the hoof edge and preparing for shoeing or corrective trimming.
Method:
Ensure the tool is clean and sharp before use.
Position the nipper jaws around the hoof wall at the appropriate trimming point, squeeze the handles firmly and cut through the excess wall in one controlled motion.
After trimming, inspect the cut edge for smoothness and follow with rasping or finishing as necessary.
After use, clean off hoof debris, dry the tool, check for any damage or misalignment, and store it in a dry tool box.
Frequency:
Suitable for every trimming/shoeing session as part of the farrier’s toolset.
Regular maintenance is recommended to check the joint, ensure cutting edges remain sharp, and replace or resharpen when performance declines.
Box joint construction: Enhances tool stability and longevity by maintaining proper alignment of jaws throughout the tool’s life.
Precise cutting edge and tool strength: Enables efficient hoof wall removal with less reliance on rasping, improving efficiency.
14″ size: Offers a good balance between leverage and control, suitable for a wide range of adult horse hoof sizes.
Premium tool materials: Manufactured by Mustad’s high-quality standards (tool steel, hardened construction) to withstand heavy-use farrier environments.
Versatile for detailed to standard trimming: Suitable for both fine detail trimming and broader hoof wall removal tasks, making it a flexible part of a farrier’s kit.
