The Cliff Carroll 2 lb Brass Hammer (also known as a Heel Cutting Hammer) is a specialized tool used by farriers to trim the heels of horseshoes quickly and cleanly. Because it is made of softer brass, it is designed to strike other steel tools, such as hardies, without causing damage to them.
Key Features & Use Cases: Target Application: This 2lb model is specifically recommended for working with lighter plates and racing shoes. Drive-In Studs: It is widely considered the ideal tool for installing drive-in studs without marring the metal. Non-Sparking & Non-Marring: As a non-ferrous tool, it does not produce sparks and will not mar or deform delicate metal surfaces. Versatility: Beyond farrier work, it is used for stamping, dapping, chasing, and metal shaping.
