"I recently picked these up for 50% OFF at the Smartpak store (!!!) and used them to do a trace clip on my veryyy furry horse. They worked GREAT! didnt get too hot, easy to use, and didnt bother my horse at all.
I have not clipped in a while and these left minimal marks that I was easily able to get rid of. Love my new clippers!

"I got these and used them on two horses right away. They cut threw hair like butter, no blade marks and very even. They even handled my our Connemara's ridiculously thick bridle path with ease. They are easy to break down and clean and put back together. I have fairly large hands so they are easy for me to handle and surprisingly well balanced for a large clipper."

"I used these and I absoluly found them easy to use then I used my trainer's clippers which are completely different and I kept wanting to go back to these clippers!!! If you know how to use them or even just need some practice these blades are great."

"I would highly recommend anyone to buy these clippers. They leave minimal amount of track marks and handle well with no overheating. The only thing I disliked was the lubricant it came with. It was too thick and made it hard to relube during clipping. I would recommend buying "kool lube" for this particular clipper."

"I used these clippers all summer while working for my trainer clipping horses. They aren't the worst, but they are not the best. They got very hot very quickly and the vents are placed at an odd place so that the hair blows back in your face. They are a bit heavy as well. They are very easy to use though."

"My clipmaster is probably 6 or 7 years old now. I had a brush come loose in the motor and sent them off to be repaired for $75 two years ago. They are very reliable, fast, and easy to use. I have never had them quit on me, and the most I have to do it spray coolant on them every 1/4 of the body. The variable speed makes using them with unsure horses much safer- start off on the slow quiet setting and once the horse relaxes you can speed right along. A full body clip down to knees and up to cheeks takes me 40 mins!! I did need to buy a smaller quieter clipper for face and legs- you wouldn't want to do a bridle path or ears with these! Well worth it IF you plan on body clipping more than once a year."

"My clipmaster is probably about 15 years old-They are oldies but goodies (the old beigse handle!?!). A friend let me try her these new clipmasters. Wow! They stay alot cooler in your hand, didn't feel like I had to use the cool lube as much. They run quieter and faster too! When my oldies go to clipper heaven, I am getting one of these!"

"I know it is the nature of the beast when body clipping to get hairy, but to be constantly sprayed with the hair that is falling off the horse is quite another. These clippers are heavy but will cut through anything. The poor design is that the air that runs through the motor to cool it also blows hair all over you constantly. Clipping draft horses, being 5'3", and using these clippers = I am hairier than they were pre body clip. Also if you use them for years, the power chord where it connects to the clipper bends and eventually gets a short in it. Both pairs I owned did this. They also can get very hot, so watch that you use Kool Lube frequently. They will however, power through 5 drafts in one day easily and if you were willing to do more, they would too."

"These clippers beastly. They are fairly large and a bit heavy, but they certainly get the job done. Great if you need to clip multiple horses, but you will have to bring out a smaller pair to get the face and legs."

"Great Heavy duty clippers, a little big and clumsy compared to compact models however this unit is power full enough to clip anything and do it all day."
