BEETRO 500W Electric Professional Sheep Shears, Animal Grooming Clippers for Sheep Alpacas Goats and More, 6 Speeds Heavy Duty Farm Livestock Haircut

I bought these last year after a well known alpaca shearing group left 2 of my alpacas's undersheared - they indicated their coats were oily "alpacas don't have lanolin" after they left as they were shearing in the dark I ordered these as the shearing job was a hack piece - I was able to finish trimming them then put them up in case I ever needed them. Well this year the cost of shearing has gone up again and I cannot afford it so decided to try to shear on my own after spending 7 years having someone professionally shear them. I do not sell or process the fleece so it just needs to be off the animal. I tied my largest alpaca Puck and did a standing shear on him - after 10 mins he's about 3/4 done - I'd rather go slow and spray the blades frequently than go fast and cause harm. I'm ordering a second set of blades so I can ensure all my 5 alpacas are clipped well. I don't know why this is listed as a frequently returned item it worked great for me and I am very particular about products I use on my animals. A++++++

5 Stars for price and quality!! Here's a picture of the first sheep I ever sheered with Beetro Shears. 4 Stars on "Sheerness" because the blades dull and gum up rather quickly. BUT they cleaned and sharpened up very easily by taking off the blade from the "chicken feet" and running a file along the vertical, scissor like top blade on each side. I did not file the flat blade-to-blade part because I think that would misalign and ruin it. Also they do heat up fast so I would just touch the smooth bottom of the blades to my skin and when they would burn, I stood the sheep up and waited for the the shears to cool. Slower that way, but for my farm slower is better than paying thousands for professional shears! I sheared 4 Shetland Sheep! On the second sheep the blade was dull (and so was I to not figure that out) so the job was worse. Then I switched blades and the third sheep went very well. Then on my fourth sheep I decided to try filing the blade and it worked well!

These are the first set of shears I’ve ever purchased, and for the price they’re not too bad. Easy assembly and ready to use out of the case. Our lambs have never been shorn and their wool was thick and matted in some places but these cut right through easily. Two issues: 1. The blades got hot after prolonged use and the lambs became agitated when I used them on their undersides where the wool wasn’t as thick. Take breaks and let them cool down during use. 2. The screws holding the blades in place worked themselves loose from all the vibrations and they fell off during use. Thankfully this happened when I was using them in a downward motion and they fell onto the stand in the pile of wool and didn’t shoot across the barn and hurt someone. The blades were very hot to touch when I picked them up to reattach. I let them cool completely before I reassembled. Thinking back on this I should have tightened the screws between animals and it likely could have been avoided. Live and learn. I’ve shared the sales link for these to a friend for her teen son to use on their sheep as they will also be a good starter set, but I’ll be sure to tell him about my experiences so these issues can be avoided.

I ordered BEETRO 500W, Electric Professional Sheep Shears, Animal Grooming Clippers for Sheep Alpacas Goats... after reading through several reviews. I have prior experience as a dog groomer, so felt confident that I could adjust to shearing sheep. The shears worked great. I didn't feel any resistance while it was going through the wool. I oiled the blades well and often as stated in the instructions, and in some earlier reviews, and they never got hot. I used them for the neck and body moving downward at the top of the legs so as not to cut the skin where the legs attach to the body. I used these scissors: Ihttps://www.amazon.com/Thorntons-Art-Supply-Multi-Purpose-Seamstress/dp/B01C1U2MLG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1XSDK3QDISUJM&keywords=Craft+Arthritis+Soft+Grip+Spring-Assisted+8-Inch+Scissors&qid=1692120313&sprefix=craft+arthritis+soft+grip+spring-assisted+8-inch+scissors%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-2 to trim around her head, face, legs, and under belly because I felt it was easier for me and safer for her. They also work great! Her fleece is amazing and she is happy. No nicks and very few second cuts. My stand was a repurposed milk stand, using my wagon sides to help keep her from falling off the sides. The instructions say not to use on dogs. I would agree. I would highly recommend these clippers for an owner of a small flock of sheep.

Was very pleased with them. They did a great job and didn’t over heat.

Overheated pretty quick and blades became dull fast also, easy to return though so I’m thankful for that!

Excellent calidad

These clippers have only been used a few times. These clippers broke after the third time of use. The hardware that holds the forks in place broke inside the unit. The blades flew off. Luckily no one nor my animal was injured. I’ve tried contacting customer service for parts but no one seems to care .

I’ve been using the BEETRO 500W Electric Professional Sheep Shear, and overall I’m really happy with it. It’s definitely a heavy-duty clipper, and you can feel that right away. As a dog groomer, I’m used to much smaller, lighter clippers, so this was a big adjustment for me at first. It is quite heavy, but that also shows in how powerful it is. For shearing my sheep, it does an amazing job. It cuts smoothly and efficiently without struggling but be careful it cuts easily and for my first shearing I was lucky not to injure my sheep. It has 6 speed settings, but honestly, I’ve only been using speeds 1–2 so far and that’s been more than enough. Higher speeds feel a bit intimidating for me right now, but even on low, it gets the job done really well. One thing I really appreciate is the long cord it makes a huge difference because I can move around easily without needing an extension cord all the time. For me, shearing works best as a two-person job. My husband holds the sheep while I shear, which keeps the animal calmer and safer. In fact, midway through, our sheep actually relaxed and stopped moving, which made the process much easier. I would definitely recommend this clipper, especially for homesteaders who don’t want to pay high prices for professional shearing services. It’s also very easy to operate and clean. Since sheep wool contains a lot of lanolin, the blades get quite greasy, but I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it was to clean everything afterward. Overall, it’s a powerful, practical tool that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Se calienta muy rápido

Je suis en France. J’achète ce tondeuse. A la réception de l'article, cette tondeuse a une fiche pour le Canada ou Chine, la prise pour brancher sur le courant. Je demande à le retourner, on me répond de l'envoyer à mes frais, à une adresse étrangère sans nom du pays. Bizarre... La vraie arnaque... Et en plus, la burette d'huile qui accompagne la tondeuse est vide. Fuyez cette vente. La vraie arnaque

I only have 2 pygora wethers but these shears worked very well! I used them at speed 3 for both goats and they slid easily thru even the matted fleece. I’d never used shears before but have clipped horses and cattle many times. I did both goats on the same day, one after another and the shears were cool enough for both. I stopped and lubed the blades when I heard their noise change. My technique and lack of skill & experience are the only things holding me back from a professional looking job, the shears are fantastic! They are a heavy machine but I’m a middle aged woman with weak painful hands and wrists and I managed just fine. Overall they suit me perfectly and I managed to not have to spend nearly $1k to shear 2 goats a couple times a year!

Amazing machine , but oil bottle was empty which disappointed me when i needed to use.
