Heiniger Delta vs Heiniger Handy vs Wolsley Swift

[webble]

I am currently looking at buying one of these three second hand, I have read loads of posts about them and they all look good, just wondering if anyone has tried them all and has any thoughts? The Delta look very heavy?

I’ve had my Wolsey swift clippers for 25 years ... never had them serviced and never have they let me down — and they still look like new ... if they die tomorrow they owe me nothing ... light weight so not the clippers if you are planning to do a yard full but for a hobby owner I can’t recommend them enough. I have small hands so I needed clippers I could get my hands around - I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them again (do they still make them?)

I’ll go for the Heininger ones only as I have the Progress ones and they’re brilliant, best clippers I’ve had.

The Deltas IMHO aren't too heavy, and they are very good. If they are the Delta 3s, it is very useful having the 3 speeds.

I bought a second hand pair of heiniger handys off eBay and haven’t looked back, nervous of buying second hand but they are great, just had them serviced after 3 years usage..not too heavy and a good long lead..

My friend has my heiniger Handy's that I bought in 2001, they are still fine and I got different ones as I now don't have mains electric. They aren't the quietest clippers though if that matters to you.
