What is best one?
Which is bad?

 

[M-J-G]

I have a masterclip, and its OK for dagging sheep or clipping a small few.
I use them more for cattle

If you mean the ones which look like the Masterclip @M-J-G has posted... just buy whichever colour you like the most.


They are all the exact same machine

 

[Old Tip]

Few folk round here have the Rambo ones which are really good

How many Ewes could you shear on a charge???

Cordless clipper battery

Where can I source replacement battery's? Can't find anything online. These are off an ergo pro

Last time I looked.

Forty or fifty

Priceless piece of kit for this time of year. Carry mine in the quad all the time dagging dirty arsed lambs or anything that gets struck

I bought a Shearcordless a few years ago, and they have been absolute cr*p. They have hardly been used as they are such a pita. They are underpowered , unreliable and hard work in anything other than open, clean wool (so not dags!) IME.

They were abandoned 12 months ago, having narrowly escaped being thrown against the nearest wall. I would have been better off spending the same money on a small generator to power the mains shearing machine so that I'd could use it down the field (as well as being useful for other jobs).

For carrying in the quad to do odd ones, I bought a set of Jakoti shears for a fraction of the money.

They seem a mixed bag... typical Chinese quality control - some are great, some are not so. But most sellers warranty seems good to put things right


There's a set on eBay, straight from China for £147 with 2 batteries - very tempted at that price (but could be a bigger gamble and no real warranty), but considering I've got Jakotis and 12v hang up Horner and mains machines - do I really need them?!

I have a mark 2 shear cordless from, welsh shearing equipment.
Its excellent, I wouldn’t want to be without it.

What type u got?

Shear cordless mk1. Was a bit dodgy to start with but they stood by it and fixed all problems

We have the Razor, handy this time of year to carry about for dagging the odd one. They can do a full shear but overheat if you do 2 or 3 in quick succession. I'd say they're all much of a muchness, if you want to clip sheep as well then go for a 12v hangup machine and get a pair of jakotis for emergency dagging.

I've got a cordless one from Welsh shearing. Handy machine for dagging the odd sheep here and there

I find them too long for shearing, the battery seems to drag on the sheep, best for shearing is the shaft driven handpiece

But for small numbers it would work?

 

[aangus]

Razor here and very happy with it especially with the weather we’re having

Horner Razor. £225 and excellent back up from Horners. As said above, worth its weight in gold at this time of year. Take it everywhere in case we find a blown sheep. I’ve sheared 14 one after another with it no probs on 1 battery, never had too do more with it so don’t know how much longer it lasts. It was starting too get hot though. But it dags sheep and clips cattle like a champion. I’ve had 2 batteries stop working on it, took too horners and they just swapped them for new straight away no messing.
