- Finishing nail holes on the back of the shoe
The Stromsholm Back Pritchel is a handheld pritchel designed for finishing off nail holes on the back of the shoe. After stamping, the back pritchel is used to open and true the nail hole through the underside of the section, ensuring the nail seats and drives cleanly when the shoe is nailed on. It comes from Stromsholm's own range of farrier tools. Stromsholm Ltd, based in Milton Keynes, is one of the UK's leading farrier suppliers, and its own-brand forge tools are a staple in workshops and shoeing vans across the country. A back pritchel is a core part of any shoemaking and hole-finishing kit, working alongside a stamp or fore punch at the anvil.
