Clipping

[Jaysmum]

Hi :)

I'm thinking about buying some clippers and was wondering what other horse owners experience has been of battery clippers and mains clippers. :confused:

Hi
Only ever had mains as battery ones didnt exsist when I bought mine!!!!!
It really depends on how much in one session you are going to do, I couldnt think of anything worse than running out of battery power half way thro a clip!
Check manufacturers guides on length of clipping time you get cos they vary.

Mine are mains, I would worry the battery would run out half way through as I'm a newbie clipper it takes me for ever to clip.:o

:)hi, i have the moser avalon battery clippers, nice & quiet and last for about 3hrs, great if you've got a nervous horse, and they are lightwieght

I only have Liveryman Mustang and Liveryman Arena both quite heavy but I don't find that a problem. I was told they burn out easy but i have never had that problem cos i stop every 10mins to coll down by brushing up and oiling blades.

I also have robinsons £20 trimmers which are rechargable and always cut out before i finish!!:)

I have Liveryman Sprinters [battery] I have 2 batteries and find 1 battery will clip just over 1 side in a full clip.

I have mains ones. But have clipped with moser battery ones. (forgot to send my blade off). mains are better if u have a few horses or full clips to do. But i did a trace with the moser ones and they clipper well. Dont really think that helps u tho lol. x

I bought Liveryman Harmony Clippers. These have a mains and battery option.

They are very quiet and lighter than the usual big clipper, however as a first time user with them I was amazed at there stamina!! I was unsure about buying them..but glad I did!! To me they did just a good job as a heavy use pair.
