suitable for clipping?

[alfirules]

hi, do you think these clippers would be ok to use for a bib clip (just the neck)?

Honestly? I do not think you would get very far with them, they are very cheap and I think the motor may not cope with all that hair?

 

[bountyboy]

No I'd say def not!
They are mostly for whiskers and little bits that need tidying up on the face etc - don't think you'd get very far trying to clip properly with these!!!

well i thought that was probably what they were for. thanks.

yes.. if you want to spend 8 hours clipping your pony.
If you ask around your friends and your yard i am sure somone will have some heavy duty ones about which you can use and hcip in with the sharpening fee.

Depends how thick the hair is?

ALTHOUGH

I managed to clip some of Blue and Holly one year with a pair of £10 human hair clippers from Argos! (Bizarrely the same ones OH bought to do his hair - i stress we did not use the same pair of clippers on the horses and his head!) But you probably would only be able to use them once before they blunt!

I really wouldn't, it would be a waste of time- and money really! Can you not borrow any off a friend?

I've got the little Wahl ones and they have done bib clips on woolly ponies/horses that are clipper shy but it is alot slower than normal sized clippers.

They also routinely do my lads thick tail and bridle path

They would not do it IMO. But the liveryman element ones (£65 in Robinsons but cheaper on ebay)are fab. I have just done a bib and belly on an elderley TB with what looks like a cushings curly coat. I did the bib and belly with the 3mm atachment and the rest of the curls with a 12mm one and he looks about 10 years younger!!!!!

I've done bibs and faces with similar little wahl ones, don't think the motor will last for long! As Merlinsquest says do check your length attachments as they do go VERY short if your not careful!

 

[merlinsquest]

Short is not the word!!!!...... surgical is the word that springs to mind, and bald is another...

I did my dog with mine he is a grey schnauzer and had a bum like a baboon by the time i realised!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[star]

no! i have those trimmers and they get stuck just trimming his beard!
