Best Clippers for Heavy Feathers

[CherylW]

Does anyone have any recommendations for clippers please?

Cordless
As quiet as possible
Enough power to easily get through thick cob feathers.

I don’t want to spend too much as it’s only for the occasional feather trim - about £150.

I’ve tried a friend’s Clipperman Jesters (advertised for horses and dogs) but they are completely useless on my cob’s feathers. I even trimmed them first!!

I think you may struggle a bit. Decent cordless will be fairly pricey and you need decent for thick feather.
I have Lister liberties and Liberetto (cheaper, within your budget but wouldn’t be tough enough)
The liberties are good. Maybe second hand?

You really need a pair of proper clippers, rather than trimmer types.

Don't mean to sound daft but how would I recognise trimmers from clippers? Is it the size? Some are described as clippers but seem more like trimmers to me.

Thanks. I'll have a look at the LIberties

I have Masterclip HD Roamers (for all over not just feathers) and they are really good, cordless, can be a little loud but not like some. They are over the £150 though

Yep, another vote for Lister Liberty. Easy enough for a numpty like me to use, and strong enough to get through ridiculously thick yak hair. Pricier than your budget, but worth it in the long run. Look for 2nd hand maybe?

Thanks everyone for your advice. I'm going to save up for some LIberties.

Have a look at Masterclip, I have their corded Rangers and they're fab. They're probably the only new clippers you'll be looking at for your budget.
