Length—How to choose?
The shape and length of the handles help determine the hand strength required to squeeze the trimmer. Maximum leverage isn’t always desired; many shepherds prefer comfortable trimmers that fit their hands for all day use.- Longer blades may reduce the # of overall cuts needed; blades longer than 2" can clear most hooves with one cut
- Shorter blades are better for precision work

Very good quality trimmer. We tried cheap brands and found out it isn’t worth it. We have 4 of these trimmers and trim around 200 goats a year.

Sue J from Vermont
These trimmers are the best and come so sharp they cut through thick tough sheep hooves. And what is even better is that Premier can resharpen them. Worth every penny!
