Liveryman Element Trimmers

[AliJo]

Anybody got these? They are supposed to be heavy duty trimmers so how good are they and what jobs do you use them for? I know they wouldn't be enough for full clips.

I have some, used to use them to do a bib/chaser on Murphy before I bought my big clippers, now I use them for hogging and feather trimming mainly. Had them a couple of years and really like them but you can't sharpen the blades - the front blade is metal but the bit behind is plastic so when they blunt you have to but new (about £17 so not too bad) I think Wahl do a similar trimmer but with the metal rear blade.

I have some too, bought them to clip a nervous cob. They managed a chaser clip easily, obviously not very quickly, and I was quite impressed. They won't go through heavy feather though. Blades are still working fine.
