Do not buy this product. It absolutely will cut the skin and the large tear required suturing by a vet and a tetanus shot to boot! It takes two very strong hands to open and close, and we are not even sure it did the job crushing the spermatic cord. My biggest issue is that when I reported it to the company, they acted as though the item just needed adjustment. I had wwoofers watching the procedure and we all were very traumatized by the event. Please take this Pakistan made item off your shelf. I would absolutely pay more for better quality item to spare myself of the trauma.

Very very hard to both open, and clamp down. As a grown woman I couldn’t safely (for the sheep) manage it. My 6 foot healthy husband (age 69) could barely. We did use it. And it did not cut the skin, as it wasn’t supposed to. We hope the sperm cord was crushed enough. We held it on 5 seconds. We did spray with Liquid Wrench before using it. May have helped a little bit.

Worked great. I’ll wait until the 30 day mark to be sure, but I could feel the crimps. Note, they are hard to shut, you’ll have to pry it down on the ground to assist.

Very disappointed! The mechanism of the tool is overly stiff. The crimp tolerance is too tight and will break skin. The design is impossible to use one handed. Unless you have an octopus on staff I would not recommend. Using this product for 5 minutes made me question if I wanted to continue in sheep farming.

Bought this to use on my Nigerian dwarf bucklings. It's impossible to use one-handed and even with 2 hands almost impossible to get enough of a grip to clamp properly. As a previous review stated, it's impossible to close with one hand when opened all the way. But operating two-handed (with someone else holding the kid) runs the risk of the spermatic cords slipping out and an incomplete job as a result.
