The Crease Nail Puller by Mustad is crafted from high-quality tool steel (or hardened tool steel in select models) to ensure durability and effective performance in professional farrier applications. Its jaws incorporate a sharp, pointed design that allows easy access to nail heads, even those that are worn or recessed, while the solid rear end of the jaw provides substantial leverage for removal. A conical hole within the jaws is sized to accommodate virtually all horseshoe nail heads, increasing the tool’s versatility across different horseshoe types.
Target Species: Horses
Application: Utilised by farriers to remove nails (clinches or driven nails) from horseshoes during shoe removal or refitting; suitable for all types of horseshoes.
Method:
Position the jaws of the crease nail puller around the nail head, ideally in the horseshoe crease (groove) where the nail was driven or clinched.
Ensure the jaws are properly seated, especially in cases where the nail head is worn, recessed, or less accessible.
Apply leverage via the handle and solid rear jaw to pull the nail straight out, using steady, controlled force.
After pulling the nail, inspect the area and proceed with shoe removal or replacement as needed.
Clean the tool after use to remove hoof debris, nail shavings or sweat; keep it dry and inspect for wear or damage; store in a farrier toolbox.
Frequency:
Suitable for use at every shoeing session where nails need to be removed, especially when the nails are driven deeply or are difficult to access.
Inspect the tool periodically for wear, deformation of jaws, or loss of leverage; replace when performance declines.
Sharp-pointed jaw design: Allows access to nail heads that are worn down or hidden within the horseshoe crease.
Conical hole in jaws: Fits nearly all nail sizes, increasing versatility across horseshoe and nail types.
Solid rear jaw end for leverage: Provides a strong mechanical advantage, reducing required force and effort when pulling nails.
High-quality construction: Made of hardened tool steel (or similarly premium materials) for long service life in demanding farrier environments.
Compatible with all horseshoe types: From typical steel shoes to specialised clips or racing plates, this tool can handle most nail removal situations.
