Mustad Driving Hammer

Mustad Driving Hammer

A professional multipurpose farrier hammer designed for efficient nail driving, cutting, clinching and removal.

The Mustad Driving Hammer is a versatile, professional-quality farrier tool designed primarily for driving horseshoe nails, while also providing the functionality required to cut, clinch and remove nails during the shoeing process.

Manufactured from high-quality tempered tool steel and fitted with a strong hickory handle, the Mustad Driving Hammer combines durability, balance and practical design for everyday professional use.

Available in 300g, 355g and 470g sizes to suit individual farrier preferences and working styles.

Multipurpose Farrier Tool

Although designed primarily for driving horseshoe nails, the Mustad Driving Hammer can perform several essential tasks throughout the shoeing process.

It can be used for:

• Driving horseshoe nails
• Cutting nails
• Clinching nails
• Removing partially driven nails
• General shoe fitting and farrier work

This versatility makes it a practical addition to both professional and everyday farrier tool kits.

Angled Nailing Surface

The hammer features an angled nailing surface designed to provide a comfortable and efficient working position when driving nails.

This allows the farrier to maintain better positioning around the hoof while helping reduce unnecessary wrist and arm movement during repetitive work.

Powerful, Efficient Nail Driving

The round, slightly curved hammer head is designed to deliver an effective strike when driving horseshoe nails.

Its shape helps transfer force efficiently to the nail, allowing the farrier to work with controlled, purposeful strikes.

Fine Claw for Nail Removal

A precisely detailed claw on the opposite side of the hammer provides excellent access to horseshoe nails.

When a nail has been started but needs to be repositioned or removed before being completely driven, the fine claw allows the farrier to grip and extract the nail efficiently.

This feature also adds versatility during shoe removal and fitting.

Customisable Hickory Handle

Every Mustad Driving Hammer is fitted with a strong hickory handle.

The handle is intentionally substantial enough to allow the farrier to shape and customise the grip according to individual hand size and personal preference.

This provides the opportunity to create a more personalised fit for improved comfort and control during regular use.

Three Weight Options

The Mustad Driving Hammer is available in three sizes:

• 300g – lightweight option for quick, controlled work
• 355g – versatile mid-weight option
• 470g – heavier option for farriers who prefer additional striking weight

Choosing the appropriate hammer weight will depend on personal preference, hand size, nail size and individual shoeing technique.

Premium Tool Steel Head

The hammer head is manufactured from high-quality tool steel and tempered to the appropriate hardness for professional farrier use.

This process provides the combination of hardness, strength and durability required to withstand repeated nail driving and everyday use.

Hickory Handle

The handle is manufactured from hickory, a timber traditionally selected for striking tools due to its combination of:

• Strength
• Durability
• Shock absorption
• Comfortable handling

Replacement Handles Available

Replacement handles for the Mustad Driving Hammer are also available separately.

Whether your existing handle has reached the end of its working life or you would like a fresh handle to customise to your preferred shape and grip, it can be replaced without needing to replace the complete hammer.
