47 TUNGSTEN AND fp TRACTION PRODUCTS Tungsten Pins V-Trak Nails Drive-In Studs Drive-In Studs and Tungsten Carbide Pins For those situations when you need only enough traction to prevent sliding or slipping on hard surfaces, Tungsten Carbide Pins, Drive-In Studs and Vector V-Trak nails are very simple to apply. Simply drill with a 17/64" bit and seat the tapered shaft of the stud into the hole. It s amazing how much confidence your horses will gain when on blacktop or concrete. The studs should also give good traction for trail riding in terrain with large rocky footing. 50 pieces per pack. As with the Drive-In Studs, you seat the tapered shaft of the pin into the hole. Holes may be drilled in toe or heel of the shoe. Installation requires the use of a #15 Drill Bit (11/64 ) that is included with every package of 100 pins. Vector V-Trak are available in sizes 4-1/2 Race, 5 City, 6 City and E-4 Slim. Packed in 100 piece plastic boxes. Countersink Drill Bit This German-made Countersink Drill Bit is receiving very positive comments from farriers who are using it. The overall length of the bit is 3-1/4. With the shorter bit there is less chance of breakage compared to longer bits. For use with a 3/8" tap. Excellent for both 8 mm and 10 mm shoes. 45
