    You might be talking of a different origin. But the hammer is a Jim Poor. At some point I think Diamond bought out a line of hammers he made.

    it's a non-symmetric tong. You can open the shoe with her altought the shoe is nailed. You can open one branch only or the two branches simultaneous. The name is Disymmetric tong Kulp.

    On this side of the pond we call it a "shoe spreader." It allows you to spread one or both heels of a shoe while it is nailed on a horse's foot.

    Anthony,

    If I need to I generally use the spreader before the shoe is nailed on the hoof. It'll sometimes save a trip back to the anvil.

    Wish I could say I've got another stack hidden away but this is pretty well all the forging tools I own. However they all serve me well, thus far IMG_20121218_170735_593.jpg
