TRACTION DEVICES

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE PINS

FPD continues to offer our Tungsten Carbide Pins.  Installation requires the use of a #15 drill bit.  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. #15 drill bits are also available through FPD dealers. 
A complimentary #15 drill bit is included with every package of 50 pins.

5/16" DRIVE-IN STUDS - Improved Design!

FPD Drive-In Studs with an improved design are now available. These studs now have a solid core. For those situations you need only enough traction to prevent sliding or slipping on hard surfaces, these studs are very simple to apply. Simply drill with a 17/64" bit and seat the tapered shaft of the stud into the hole. It¹s 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.

Both the pins and studs are available in 50 piece packages.
