Have you tried putting it back together again
When I learnt to shear I was bought a new hand piece. I did a day with it and went back too the old lister, the grip is so smooth and comfortable too use I'm sticking with it until it dies on me!! ?How long have you had it? How much work do you do with it?
Nothing wrong with those old handpieces. I use the one dad bought 51 years ago for all my shearing... I'd love a new handpiece but can't justify it when the old one works so well
Have you tried putting it back together again
not yet...gotta find all the bits first ?
Part ex the old one in then. Might get £20 for it in bits ?.OK....can't see the point in putting it back together TBH...it didn't cut before so what are it's chances after i've 'tinkered' ? .....i think @Cvx1170 may be on to something with the chicken feet....they are worn...one pin worse than the other....but i guess not knowing the type getting replacements is nigh impossible
think i'm gonna buy new horner suregrip and be done with it
What! White flag!!!!! . . . Never surrender! Give it a go, you've got nothing to lose by the sounds of it. Otherwise it's a sad end to this saga!OK....can't see the point in putting it back together TBH...it didn't cut before so what are it's chances after i've 'tinkered' ? .....i think @Cvx1170 may be on to something with the chicken feet....they are worn...one pin worse than the other....but i guess not knowing the type getting replacements is nigh impossible

"GO ON YOU CAN DO IT!"
Got a supersheer one sets listerAs an aside... you any idea where to get the setting gauge for Lister handpiece?
You get heiniger and supershear ones no bother, but I can't find lister. Would a supershear do, seeing as they are the same company? (it's tallygrip handpieces I have)
And If you buy a new handpiece, remember prise out and throw away the little plastic grommet they put in the top hole, else after a short period of use it will end up inside
Ha ha! I think we went to the same school for tinkering! The number of things that eventually get 'put gently against a hard wall !'are too numerous to remember now ?well .....we'll have to see...i'm a bit busy being 'inquisitive' with two round balers?.....thats not going particularly well either
Not spin proof ? ?For your use, stick with the oil bath - they are idiot proof and much more tolerant of neglect
Maybe I'm wrong but I would say symptoms of a worn out handpiece would be more rattling and noise and vibration, not heat and poor cutting.
