Stud holes can be a farrier's & horse owner's worst nightmare. Applying metal to metal requires precision to avoid damaging threads, which is difficult to do with an unpredictable animal. Damaged threads lead to studs not going in correctly, falling out & sometimes requiring the farrier to remove the shoe and rethread.
This polymer is a malleable material & the first time we tried StudFast it was amazing to feel how easily & quickly the studs glided in and out. You didn't even need a spanner
