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

Best ever used, well worth the buy.

I have to say, I have finally found a good pair of trimmers.
The ARS 140 DXR Serrated Trimmer are just a dream to use. So smooth cutting, no sliding around on the hoof when trying to trim. More than twice the price I have paid for others, but so worth it. Why did I not find these before now. Well worth the price.
I have spent lots of money on the $15. to $18 trimmers and each time I was ready use them I would go out and buy a new pair and they wouldn't work right either. I have probably spend over $150 on useless trimmers.
So glad to have these now. Thank you!

These clippers are awesome. I had spent good money on a handful of nail trimmers for my goats and they all broke within the first couple of uses. I finally found some that really work! Thank you! They are so sharp and very well made... not the cheap ones bought at the big farm stores. Love these trimmers and would highly recommend them!

Best hoof trimmers on the market in my opinion. I love these trimmers, they are great for my smaller hands, are very sharp and the blades are shaped perfectly for small hooves.
Robert R from Massachusetts
Love these! I bought these to replace a cheap pair I got at my local farm store. Wish I bought these in the first place; so do my sheep!
