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

Good product, fast delivery.

Love it, cuts so much better than lower priced trimmer I had. I wish I had just purchased these first and saved the frustration created with the others.
The blades fit tight, the nail does NOT go between the blades and bend rather than cut like it did with other trimmers.
Susan M from Ohio
BEST clippers i have ever had—sharp actually cut rather than bend the tough hoofs—will be the only clippers i will buy from now on.
Cindy P from Tennessee
