Glenn Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Magnet to hold nails on chaps, so the nails are handy during shoeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Larger magnets are also avalable, it's nice to be able to hang a tool or shoes instead off dropping them on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Have you tried the super magnets for this purpose? They are rare earth magnets. (Neodimium usually). They are a small diameter but they are very powerful. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 One dosnt want to pull off ones chaps trying to get a nail... i use the big round ones used to hold wide load signs on.

Hotshoein4 (Mark) Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Never got into the habit of using a magnet on my apron. I usually put them in my mouth. And if I'm working on a sensitive footed horse, I'll put them in bees wax or hoof packing. Helps them drive in a bit smoother. Foundered horses seem to like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have magnets all over my hoof stand. And have been known to use my drill to drill pilot holes for the nailes on the tender ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Quote Just nit pickin' about the use of the word "chaps." I've gone out with other shoers who wore chaps, but I never wore them; I used an apron. The apron covered my crotch which made me feel a little better than if I wore chaps which are not closed at the crotch. To each his own.

Tubalcain2 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I Put a big round magnet in mine that is strong enough to hold a rasp or a not-too-heavy shoe. I think it is quite handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
