Jim Blurton Hot Fit Tongs
Jim Blurton hot fit tongs for carrying and fitting hot shoes with even pressure. Multiple sizes available.
The Jim Blurton Hot Fit Tongs are designed to carry the hot shoe to the foot and apply even pressure during fitting. Available in multiple sizes for different shoe weights.
Hot fit tongs hold the heated shoe securely while you present it to the hoof. Grip across the branch for balance, keep your body clear of the heat path, and return the shoe to the anvil. Never adjust a shoe while the horse bears it.
