Cordless clippers

[Overrun]

Any recommendations for cordless clippers? I have a longhorn 3.2 but would like to go cordless for clipping cattle backs out.
Also have Milwaukee batteries, are there any compatible clippers?

I got a set of onevan £64 clippers that fit Makita 18v batteries, I have 6 Milwaukee batteries so I just got an adaptor.
They are a bit heavy, but I clipped the heads and backs of 30 odd cattle on one battery and I tailed 100 ewes on a single battery.
I've had them around a year and so far I'm quite happy.

Horner do one but uses Makita batteries.Bought a Razor,has its own batteries,must say the best purchase i have done this year.

I got a onevan set. I have 4 makita batteries so use them. So much better than corded clippers.

Only got them this aurum so clipped 100 backs so far.

Got the Horner one that runs Makita batteries.
It's a bit numb and unbalanced, but I expect they all are, compared to a handpiece.
It's lot easier to walk a pen of lambs and knock the muck off as you go, rather than dragging each one back to a stand.

Good, sounds like onevan are in my price range, and maybe get a battery adaptor.
Thanks

Do they take Horner sheep combs and cutters?
Always used a wide sheep comb up to now.

The Horner clippers take Lister,Sunbeam,Heininger etc.

The little one bought this last year and he has used it a lot since. Not just dagging but shearing the odd one he finds away from home or caught up on the hill. Uses standard combs & cutters.

The Horner Rambo or the handypiece will be hands down the best performing of the cordless options (technically they have a cord, but only as far as the battery on your belt).

Used a Rambo tidying up dirty lambs backsides and trimming calves before sale this year, well impressed with it. Have used a razor before, junk by comparison.

Anyone else used a Rambo?

The 3.2 with Flexi drive seems a bit clumsy for clipping cattle backs out but a corded Rambo could be better?

Clipped plenty with a flexi but it’s just a lot easier and quicker with the Rambo. New ones have li-ion batteries too so if you’ve got one charging whilst using the other you wouldn’t have much downtime I doubt.

My Razor is in its third season and both it and batteries don't seem as good as they did originally. Might look at one that uses Makita batteries next but mostly work nearer home now so I've just been using the old Lister over a small pen recently.

try not to knacker the razor so as just to keep him for the odd one with maggots out away . they arent really for hard constant use, well, they can be but last longer if used strategically ir

yes weve had a 24v /to mains corded rambo for a few yrs now , (not the battery on your hip one ) and found it reliable and very useful more flexibily in use than a convenetional hang up machine but safer than 240v handpiece because it 24v at the handp[iece via a voltage adjuster./rectifier /transformer what ever it sa called. which is fed from the mains.

ive used wide or narrow combs on ours. kept sharp mind. not keep pushing on when blunt.

them cordless handpiesces like the Razor /shear cordless etc yes but better to keep with narrow for the motors sake i guess. not good if it gets to warm or overloaded. they are all chinese made and very similar/the same base just with different names on.

Does the onevan take lister/sunbeam dragging combs and cutters like the Horner?

It takes the same cutters as my old lister shear genius corded clippers. I will try and remember to take a photo tomorrow.
I think they are the standard ones.
