Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Hoof Pick with Magnet is designed for horse owners and stable staff who value organization and quick accessibility during daily grooming sessions. Its primary benefit is the integrated magnet, which allows the tool to be stored directly on stable doors or metal cross-tie pillars, ensuring it is always within reach and never lost in the bedding. While it offers unparalleled convenience for workflow efficiency, users should note that it is a specialized, single-purpose tool that requires a magnetic surface for its primary storage feature to be utilized effectively.

FAQs
Will this stick to any stable door?
It will stick to any door made of magnetic ferrous metal. It will not stick to wood, plastic, or non-magnetic metals like aluminum.
Can I use this for heavy-duty mud removal?
Yes, the tool is durable and designed to handle everyday stable conditions, including thick mud and debris.
How do I clean the pick?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deep cleaning, you can use mild soap and water, ensuring you dry the tool completely afterward.
Is the magnet strong enough to hold the pick while the door is slammed?
While the magnet is strong for storage, it is not intended to hold the pick through high-impact vibrations. It is best to place it on a stable surface.
What is the total length of the product?
The total length is 17.8 cm.
Troubleshooting
The hoof pick keeps sliding down the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean of debris and dust, and verify that the mounting surface is indeed magnetic metal rather than aluminum or stainless steel.
The magnet feels weak.
Check if there is an excessive buildup of dirt on the magnetic face and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up this tool requires no assembly; simply place it against any clean, ferrous metal surface to engage the magnet. Compatibility is universal provided the mounting surface is magnetic. To care for the product, wipe the pick down with a damp cloth after use to prevent corrosion from manure or mud buildup. Ensure the magnetic area is kept free of metallic shavings or heavy dust to maintain a strong contact point with your stable wall. If the tool becomes submerged in water or heavily soiled, dry it thoroughly before returning it to its magnetic storage position to prevent rust.
