Pritchel
From Freepedia
A pritchel is a type of punch used in manufacturing horseshoes. The pritchel is held in an anvil by placing it in the anvil's pritchel hole. The horseshoe is then heated in a forge and hammered over the pritchel to punch a hole to accommodate the nails that hold the horseshoe on the horse's hoof.
Pritchel hole
A pritchel hole is a round hole in an anvil, used to hold tools that have round shanks. Pritchel tools are tools such as punches whose functions do not require them to be held at a particular orientation.
