The Grant Moon GDM Plain Stamp with a welded handle is a rugged, one-piece alternative to the traditional wooden-handled version. It is specifically designed to "crisp up" nail hole corners and create a flat bottom for the pritchel after a Starter Stamp has made the initial impression.
Key Differences: Welded vs. Wood Durability: Welded handles are generally more affordable and robust, though some farriers prefer wood because it absorbs the vibration (concussion) of the strike more effectively. Maintenance: Unlike the wooden version, which allows you to replace the handle if it breaks or loosen it to clean all four sides of the tool head, the welded handle is a permanent, fixed attachment. Price: Welded versions are significantly cheaper than the high-end wooden-handled "Impact" line.
