The Mustad GDM Fitting Hammer is engineered as a precision tool for farriers to shape or adjust horseshoes on the anvil before final fitment on the hoof. With a well-balanced head geometry and ergonomic handle, it delivers controlled hammer blows necessary for bending steel shoes, adjusting shoe branch angles, flattening or shaping shoe components. The GDM Fitting Hammer is built to withstand repeated use in a farrier shop, ensuring reliability and consistent shaping performance.
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used to shape and fit horseshoes on the anvil, bend or adjust shoe branch angles, modify shoe fit before nailing, and fine-tune metal shoes for optimal hoof conformations.
Method:
Secure the horseshoe on the anvil.
Hold the hammer firmly and apply controlled hammer strikes for shaping or adjusting the shoe metal.
Use gradual, measured blows to avoid over-bending or metal fatigue.
After shaping, test the shoe on the hoof (or hoof model), make further adjustments if needed.
After use, inspect the hammer head, handle, and rebalance if required; store in a dry tool rack.
Frequency:
Used every time a new or replaced shoe must be shaped to fit a hoof before final fitting and nailing.
Also used for occasional adjustments or re-shaping of shoes in remedial or corrective farriery.
Farrier-grade construction: Designed to endure repeated blows and professional-level shoe shaping.
Balanced hammer head and ergonomic handle: Provides control and reduces fatigue when shaping shoes.
Suitable for shaping steel shoes: Effective for modifying shoe branch angles or adjusting fit before shoeing.
Essential for precise shoe fit: Helps ensure the shoe matches hoof conformation, improving comfort and performance.
