opinions please..lister clippers

[bellgave]

Does anyone have the lister neon clippers? (they could be called lister star depending on where you are in the world!!!)
My lovely but very old set has given up the ghost, so they need replacing. I am out in canada working and have found a good horsey shop, bonus as they are cheaper out here!!! Just wanted to know if anyone likes or dislikes them etc.
Thanks!!!

My YO has a set which I have used a few times. They are nice enough to use...quite light and compact too. I think they retail for around £280 over here

I have Lister Neons - no trouble at all with them and pretty lightweight to use too.

I have a pair and I love them! Everybody who's used them agree's. They're small, light and very nice to use

I had the stablemates not the neons and they were great! Wish I still had them TBH. I have some Liveryman Arena's and they are nowhere near as good - overheat a lot...

I have them too, they've been good so far!

I have just bought a set of lister liberty. I love them. Mainly because they work, and the last set of clippers I bought (last year) have never worked - they were Oster.

Thanks for your all your input!!! I will go and get them tomorrow!!! Hope I can fit them in my bag to come home, I have been going a bit OTT on xmas shopping out here!!!!

I am glad it's not just my Liveryman Arena clippers that over heat alot!!.I thought i was tensioning them wrong???.

 

[Gingernags]

I tensioned mine exactly as they had in the instructions the very first time I used them, and they overheated as I finished (and I don't take long!) and broke. I had to send them back to be fixed under warranty and I still find they get far too hot doing a single clip and stopping and re-oiling every 10-15 mins as they say.

The blades end up boiling!!!

I miss my stablemates...
