The Delta/Edge Adjustable Hoof Tester is a specialized version of the standard Delta tester that features sliding jaws to accommodate a wide range of hoof sizes with a single tool. Often branded as the Edge Adjustable Hoof Tester (Model #41421), it is highly favored by veterinarians and farriers for its ability to provide variable and consistent pressure across different hoof surfaces.
Key Features: Adjustable Jaws: Unlike fixed models, the sliding jaw design allows for a precise fit on each individual hoof, ensuring more accurate diagnostic pressure. Dimensions: Typically measures over 19" long, providing significant leverage for testing. Some specialized versions like the Dr Tail model may be around 14.75". Material & Finish: Constructed from high-quality, polished tool steel with smooth handles for comfortable grip during repeated use. Application: Ideal for identifying abscesses, pressure points, and soreness in horses ranging from ponies to larger breeds due to its "one size fits all" versatility.
