Rambo QuickDraw sheep shears

[Spuddler]

Quite like the look of Horners Rambo QuickDraw clippers, anyone use them?
Any others recommended?

Have a couple of sets, they are made by beiyuang and cost about $450 Aussie dollars. They work well but we have broken the wires and had to repair them. There is also a brand called handipiece that are good too. My favorite to use is a battery setup a bit like a cordless drill mobishear, very convenient to drag a few but runs slower and only crutch 40 ish to a battery.

Must have got them cheap!

I've seen the cordless drill type ones have got an 11 volt battery, does that sound similar?
They look handy to keep in the truck.

We have one but ours has a voltage converter and clips onto a car battery as I didn't want to be charging battery's. It's a good machine guessing it won't last like a hang up motor will but ours gets all the rough jobs dirty cattle cattles backs sheeps tails ones with maggots and the occasional lot of shearing. I've done 17 Jacobs in under an hour with it just need to take your time especially with a wide comb on

Yep, think mobishear one is 10.8v, is handy but we use it regularly so don't know how long it would stay charged if sat for long periods.

Had 1 for 4 maby 5 years now, great bit of kit but the batterys are expensive and there not lithium ones which just like cordless drills arnt the best. On my 2nd battery now. Was thinking of getting the converter that clips onto 12v battery for if i get caught short on a job. Use it for everything from tailing, dressing/ clipping cattle, clipping sheep bellying lambs.
Had a go with a mates razor clipper which is a cordless drill type one. Worked realy well but its alot chunkier and not as nimble as rambo which is just like a normal handpiece.

I bought a Handypiece in 2015 and use it quite a lot. I've probably dagged over 1,000 sheep a year with it and am still on the original battery which is still lasting well. Highly recommend it. The Horner Rambo also looks a good choice but I have never used one. The Handypiece feels and operates like a "normal" handpiece. I didn't fancy dagging sheep with something akin to holding an angle grinder!

@Nithsdale Farmer did you have some of these?

No, I've a hang up 12v Horner machine.

Had been looking at the li-ion battery cordless clippers for a while but never bought them

I'm steering towards these rather than the QuickDraw as it looks like you can do a fair bit on one charge,it comes with two batteries,worth buying one more.

The cordless drill type shears are ok for dagging a few but you get less hand fatigue with the quickdraw because it is slimmer like a proper handpiece.

Good bit of kit, bought mine about 2013, still on original battery, great for clipping lambs/hoggs in a drenching race

Have used a QuickDraw a fair bit, and just recently got myself a razor from Horner shearing. For any numbers the QuickDraw handpiece is far easier to hold and use, being like a normal handpiece, the razor is bulkier in the hand and not as well made. It does work tho, and is £400 cheaper, so I'm still happy with it

Any one have a quickdraw charger handy that they could check the wiring on the plug for us sometime? Our has had the plug (the one into battery) damaged with the wires ripped off and need to wire a new one on but not 100% of which goes where!!!

Weve got a Rambo but not the battery one ,could you perhaps use a tester /multimeter to suss them? will still be a bit of charge in the battery and the wires from the charger when switched on will show positive or neg...??
then what ever is left over join together. 3 wires?

Yes that’s the other plan! Can work out the 12v positive and negative from the plug on the handpiece. Will open the transformer up to see what does what
