Agri Health Heavy Duty Articulated Hoof Cutter 41cm
Description
Agri Health Heavy Duty Articulated Hoof Cutter
The Agri Health Heavy Duty Articulated Hoof Cutter is a 41cm two-handed trimming tool for horizontal cutting of hoof horn, fitted with powerful jaws and removable blades. It is best for farriers, hoof trimmers, yard managers and experienced owners who need extra cutting power when tackling thick or overgrown horn.
The articulated linkage gives a high transmission ratio, meaning the force you apply at the handles is multiplied at the jaws, while the antislip handle helps keep your grip secure in wet or muddy yard conditions.
Key Features
- High transmission ratio: articulated linkage multiplies hand force at the cutting jaws
- Powerful jaws: built for heavy duty horizontal cutting of hoof horn
- Removable blades: take the blades off for sharpening or replacement
- Antislip handle: improved grip when hands are gloved, wet or muddy
- 41cm total length: useful two-handed leverage without being unwieldy
- Yard and field ready: suits routine foot care on horses, ponies, cobs and livestock

How to Use
- Pick out and clean the hoof so you can clearly see the wall, sole and any excess horn.
- Secure the horse and lift the foot in the usual farrier position, keeping your body clear of the jaws.
- Position the jaws horizontally against the hoof wall at the line you intend to trim.
- Close the handles with a smooth, even squeeze, letting the articulated linkage do the work.
- Work around the hoof in small bites rather than one large cut, checking balance as you go.
- Wipe the jaws clean, dry the tool and oil the pivot before storing.
FAQ
What is this hoof cutter used for?
It is designed for horizontal cutting of hoof horn during routine trimming, giving extra leverage on thick or overgrown feet.
How long is it?
The total length is 41cm, which gives two-handed leverage while still fitting in a standard farrier box.
Can the blades be replaced?
Yes. The jaws use removable blades, so the cutting edges can be taken off for sharpening or swapped when worn.
Is it suitable for a horse owner rather than a farrier?
It can be, but hoof trimming is a skilled task. If you are not experienced, work under the guidance of a qualified farrier or registered hoof trimmer and trim conservatively.
Does the handle grip when wet?
The handle has an antislip covering to help maintain grip in damp, muddy yard conditions or when wearing gloves.
How should I look after it?
Clean off horn and dirt after each use, dry the tool thoroughly, oil the pivot and check the blades and linkage before every session.
