The Mustad E-Head Forepunch (also known as a Mustad E-Head Stamp) is a specialized forging tool designed to punch precise nail holes for square-headed nails, such as Mustad E, EX, MX, and M series. It is engineered for durability and precision during the shoemaking process, providing a perfect fit for European-style nails in V-fullered shoes.

Key Specifications & Maintenance:
Target Nail Type: Specifically developed for square-headed nails.
Head Material: Crafted from high-quality air-hardened tool steel to ensure long-lasting performance and minimize the risk of splitting.
Handle: Features a high-grade American Hickory handle, firmly mounted with a steel ring wedge for a secure grip and easy replacement.
Operating Temperature: For optimal results and tool longevity, use at low forging temperatures between 1,112°F and 1,292°F (600°C – 700°C).
Critical Care: Because it is made of air-hardened steel, the head must not be cooled in water, as sudden temperature changes can damage its integrity
