Thinking of getting Lister Star clippers but wondering which blade I should use on my cob? Are these clippers mighty enough for a cob coat?
Thanks in advance

Yeah they’ll get through. I usually use medium blades as I have a coloured but you’ll need to clip less with fine blades!

Fine blades won't go through a full coated cob. You will destroy 3 sets of them in one clip. I would go for medium first then go over again with fine.

The thing that matters with clippers is the size of the engine so that what you need to look at .
I tried a pair stars last time I needed a new set they are light and a nice shape to hold but I found not that powerful .
However if you only have one horse to do they are a decent choice ( we needed something that will do horse after horse one after the other so we went for some with a bigger engine but heavier to hold ).
As the previous posters have said you need medium blades for a first clip and on a fully coated cob with a very thick coat you might need to use coarse blades ( these used on legs a lot ) and then clip again quite soon after .

Thanks I've only got the one to do.
He's got a lot of coat but once bathed it's quite soft ,.even my trimmers will go through it but not massively neatly.
