Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Zenport Q140DX Multipurpose Q Series Hoof Trimming Tool - Hard Chrome Plated, 7-Inch: Versatile and Durable by Patrick Matin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall 5 stars. But not exactly like the Shepherds review!

The recommendations I read said they had a serrated blade for the hoof grip and a smooth blade for cutting and trimming the hooves. Instead, it comes with two durable SMOOTH blades that are razor sharp and ready to go. While serrated blades are technically convenient for those learning or infrequently using, this model's smooth, thick, sharp blades make it ideal for those who need to beat 80 hooves a day every two months. They are production quality AND THEY GOT VERY SHARP! The angled blades are soft and comfortable and easily switchable from right to left hand when needed. The final difference from a consumer review (which rated them #1 for best quality and utility) was that they complained that the wire loop that attaches through the hole at the end of the handle to keep the trimmers closed, when not in use (because they are sharp) kept slipping over the handles and jamming every time they squeezed to cut! Annoying, isn't it? NOT SO! The manufacturer listened to the feedback and removed this loop! It doesn't come with a bow! This is normal, because whoever uses them more than once takes a piece of leather and sews or rivets a holster with a belt loop! It's easy to keep them from falling into the mud, snow and mud every time you put them down to snatch another sheep or goat! It's a 10 minute project that can be actively used for years! Finally and most importantly, the angled blades are not pointed but have a rounded tip. Not sharp at the tip so they can do double duty by clearing the debris from impact. the space between the soles of the spines. These are great clippers, they stay sharp all day, they are convenient and practical. Your pet hates the buzz and squeak of those $400 grinders that vibrate their hooves, startle them and take twice as long, so you don't want to use them anyway! So take care and buy this hair clipper and save time, money and animal paws!
