Professional farrier tools, veterinary instruments and livestock handling equipment for working farriers, equine professionals, mixed-practice vets, smallholders, dog groomers and agricultural operators. Stainless steel construction throughout, held in UK stock with same-day dispatch before 2pm.

The range is weighted heavily toward farriery and livestock work — hoof clinchers, nippers, rasps, emasculators, bull nose rings, ear taggers and notchers — alongside pet grooming stripping knives and veterinary hemostats.

Who buys from this range

Working farriers and equine hoof specialists, mixed-practice and large-animal vets, sheep and cattle farmers, smallholding owners, reptile and wildlife keepers, and professional dog groomers. Commonly bought by equestrian colleges and farriery apprenticeship programmes.

  • Livestock handling: 14.5"–18" Burdizzo and Serra emasculators (locking, back-lock, curved handle), 2.5"–3" aluminium bull nose rings, 10" bull nose ring pliers
  • Tagging and marking: 6" U-shape ear notchers, 23 cm aluminium ear tag pliers
  • Veterinary: 5.5" hemostat forceps (serrated jaws, straight), OB chain handles
  • Pet grooming: 4-piece and 6-piece stripping knife sets, 16-blade undercoat rakes

Choosing farrier and livestock tools

For daily farrier work, match your tool weight to typical horse size — 33 cm hoof tongs and 12" clinchers handle most riding horses; heavier 15" clinchers and 20" rasps are for draught breeds. For emasculators, locking models are safer and more reliable than non-locking under field conditions; choose Burdizzo (bloodless) for smaller stock and Serra for larger bulls.

Frequently asked questions

Are these tools used by working farriers?
Yes — the range is specified to working-farrier standards. Construction is forged and stainless steel, sized for daily professional use.

Do you supply equestrian colleges and farrier apprenticeship programmes?
Yes — contact info@toolsmithltd.co.uk for trade and bulk pricing.

Bloodless (Burdizzo) vs. Serra emasculator — which do I need?
Burdizzo is bloodless (crushing-only) — suitable for smaller stock and preferred on welfare grounds for routine castration. Serra removes tissue with simultaneous crushing — used for larger bulls and mature stock. Always check current UK veterinary guidance and local regulations.

Do you stock pet grooming tools alongside veterinary?
Yes — stripping knife sets (4-piece, 6-piece), undercoat rakes and grooming combs sit alongside the veterinary range.

Do you dispatch the same day?
Yes — orders placed before 2pm UK weekdays ship same-day.

What's your return policy?
30-day free returns on unused tools.
