The Flatland Forge 5/16" Stud Punch (crafted by Jim Poor) is a specialized farrier tool engineered to punch and prepare clean holes in horseshoes for 5/16" traction studs.

Key Specifications & Features
Built-in Countersink: Features an integrated countersink profile at the base of the punch. This prepares the punched hole perfectly for seamless threading and tapping.
Premium S7 Steel: Manufactured from high-grade S7 tool steel to endure high-impact forge work.
Differential Heat Treating: The business end is fully hardened for wear resistance, while the striking head is tempered to be slightly softer. This causes the head to safely mushroom over time instead of dangerously chipping when struck by a hammer.
Comfort Grip Handle: Typically paired with a durable mild steel handle wrapped in a secure plastic grip for vibration absorption.
