Horners have one for £225. no idea how good it is but it comes with two batteries each meant to last an hour. http://www.hornershearing.com/acatalog/battery-powered-cordless-shearing-machine.html

Quite fancy them myself.
I believe they are just a green set of the purple ones which have been talked about on here before - bought through a different source (Horner do not make these ones), my saying that is based on the fact they look identical and the specs read the same. The purple ones have been getting good reports from what I've seen and knowing Wullie Horner he wouldn't sell rubbish.

Mudge are much better spec than the Horner, they have a lithium battery so won't run down,
I get on very well with mine. Haven't used the 12v Horner since I've had them.

Do you mean these?

Which are pretty much the same as these that @Spartacus posted from Horner
http://www.hornershearing.com/acatalog/battery-powered-cordless-shearing-machine.html
Which are also very similar to these

They are all on Li-ion batteries

Haven't seen the others before, but they might be just as good.

Got a handypiece here but now doing much less docking and what I do is in the clamp with the 3 speeder.
So if I was buying again just as a tool to clip dirties here and there I'd probably buy one of the cordless £200 jobbies

Exactly my thinking.
Just for dagging or clipping the occasional coupie, the £200 machines should/would do the job at 1/3 the price

Let us know what its like to use!
Ordered some Tuesday afternoon, arrived Wednesday morning, straight out dagging Wednesday afternoon
Don't know much about shearing machines but they are doing a good job on my southdowns dirty bums following lambing. Just need more practice to get quicker now
Definitely recommended and top service from Horner.
Only did 12 ewes, so not used for a solid hour. Didn't give any sign of slowing up.
Im only small scale, but im going to give them a good go to try shearing with them next month.

Could do with DeWalt doing a bare unit clippers. Got the batteries already then. Would be ideal for chucking in the quad basket and pouncing on struck sheep....

Just found this.

Appear to be the same as the Horner, Masterclip and whoever else... but almost £100 cheaper.
Starting to wonder if this is what everyone is importing and re-branding as their own?
