ICAR Johnny Gouge
The ICAR Johnny Gouge is a clinching preparation tool manufactured from stainless steel and heat-treated for lasting sharpness, designed for creating the nail seat that allows clinches to sit flush with the hoof wall surface. Available in both right and left-handed versions, and in 4mm and 5mm gouge widths to suit different nail sizes, the Johnny Gouge covers the range of nail types encountered in professional shoeing work. The comfortable handle is shaped for a secure grip and is magnetic-friendly for storage on a shoeing box magnet. Like ICAR's clinch cutters, the Johnny Gouge benefits from the quality of European stainless steel construction and the heat treatment process that gives ICAR tools their extended service life. A reliable, well-made gouge for farriers who want clean, well-prepared nail seats.
Made from stainless steel and heat treated for years of use, this cutter features a very comfortable handle that easily sticks to a magnet on your shoeing box. ICAR Clinch Gouges are available in right and left handed versions, in either 4mm or 5mm wide gouge widths! Right handed tools are for the right handed farrier, and held in the left hand.
