Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Magnetic Hoof Pick is an essential tool designed for horse owners and stable managers who value efficiency and organization. Its primary benefit is the integrated high-strength magnet, which keeps the tool securely attached to metallic surfaces, ensuring it is never misplaced during grooming or cleaning routines. While it offers superior accessibility, users should note that the magnetic feature is only effective when paired with metal surfaces like steel stable doors or metal-lined grooming boxes.

FAQs
Can the magnet harm electronics?
While the magnet is strong enough to hold the pick, it is standard practice to keep it away from sensitive electronics, credit cards, or medical devices.
Is the pick made of stainless steel?
The pick is constructed from durable, barn-ready materials designed to resist rust, though proper drying after use is recommended to maintain its condition.
Will the magnet lose its strength over time?
Under normal barn conditions, the high-quality magnet is designed for long-term use and will maintain its magnetic pull for years.
What is the total length of the hoof pick?
The product is 17.8 cm in total length, providing a balance between portability and handle leverage.
Can I leave the pick outside in the rain?
While it is durable, storing it in a dry location will significantly extend the life of the tool and keep the magnet cleaner.
Troubleshooting
The hoof pick does not stay attached to the wall.
Verify that the surface you are attempting to stick the magnet to is made of magnetic metal, such as steel or iron; aluminum, plastic, and wood are not magnetic.
The magnet is attracting metal dust or filings.
Use a piece of tape or a dry, stiff brush to pull metallic particles off the surface of the magnet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; the product is ready to use immediately. For compatibility, ensure you have metal surfaces (iron or steel) in your grooming area to take advantage of the magnetic mounting feature. If your tack room uses wooden walls, you can easily add a small metal plate to create a docking station for the pick.
To care for the tool, rinse it with clean water after use to remove corrosive manure or salt from stall mats. Dry it thoroughly before storing to ensure the integrity of the magnet and the handle. Occasionally wipe the magnet face with a dry cloth to clear away any small metallic debris that may have collected during storage.
