advice on hoof nippers...?
all of my horses go barefoot, and i trim their hooves myself "wild-mustang" style. i've always used nothing but rasp and hoof knife, but rasping down hard hoof wall takes several hours and is next to impossible during texas summer. i'm getting tired of the long hours spent on just one hoof, and i've decided i need some hoof nippers to make the job easier, i don't know why i never thought i needed them before!! i'm ready to invest in my first pair, and was wondering if there are any farriers or horse owners that would give me advice on a good brand? i need something sharp, effective, and easy for a woman to handle that lasts a long time. hopefully something under $100...
G.E. Tools are excellant and remain sharp for a very long time but are little more pricey. Keep in mind any good nippers are an investment and can be retooled you don't need a new pair when they get dull.
You don't particularly want a short handled pair, the longer the handle the more leverage you have and that much less force is required in nipping thicker walls. If I can find my original pair I'll add the brand, they were decently priced and held up to full time work for quite a while.
Please don't be tricked into the "nippers" that are really no more than sharpened shoe pulls. Nippers will have about two inches of flat cutting surface that is very thin. The ones which are rounded and thicken immediatly wil be extremely hard to use. Immagine trying to push that metal into the wall and forcing it to seperate before it is cut through vesus a thin edge which slides into the cut and nips cleanly.
In general I do not like diamond products they are low priced but also lower quality. I have had decent luck with St. Croix and their prices. You would do well to research some different farrier tool sites and compare brands and prices. All in all check around there are Many good sites online.
