The Mustad Clinch Cutter is used to open nail clinches, ensuring that the nail can be pulled without damaging the hoof wall. Thanks to the combination of the cutter and the pritchel, nearly every nail can easily be removed without causing any harm to the hoof wall. In addition, the pritchel can also be used to countersink and trail hoof nails for alternative shoeing methods, such as the use of plastic shoes.
