When animals are housed on the farm, they usually need to have their hoofs trimmed. This can be a stressful event, both for the animal as well as the farmer.

The Hoof Boss power tool was designed specifically for trimming an animal’s hoof. Hoof Boss ensures farmers have a micro-precision cutting tool.

This 11.5” 1lbs chain disc technology tool effortlessly glides through the hoof while the abrasive disc will result in a stronger, cleaner, smoother finish to the hoof. Not only is the use of this tool simple and safe, but the farmer is also improving the animal’s overall hoof health compared to a traditional method of trimming with a hoof knife.

The Hoof Boss is suitable for use on a variety of animals: horses, pigs, sheeps, goats, as well as cows.

The discs themselves were transformed from a chainsaw blade to a round chain disc, or what Boss Tools likes to call “Cdiscs”. When the properties of a chainsaw blade are reshaped and resized, it then creates a new set of characteristics to the chain similar to a hoof knife.

Boss Tools carries a variety of discs for all animals that can be found on the farm. Inside the Trim-It-All Hoof Care Set, a farmer can find 9 abrasive discs, 3 cut-off discs and 2 chain discs, perfect for any farmer who has a menagerie of animals.
