ARS Hoof Trimming Shear - 21cm Length - Long Straight Blade Shear for Livestock & Nursery Cuttings

ARS Hoof Trimming Shear - 21cm Length - Long Straight Blade Shear for Livestock & Nursery Cuttings

Whether you are managing a flock or preparing high-volume nursery cuttings, having extra reach and a razor-sharp edge is essential for efficiency. The ARS Hoof Trimming Shear is the professional Japanese solution for those requiring a longer blade than the standard 140DX. Designed with surgically sharp, straight blades, this tool provides the necessary leverage and precision to trim livestock hooves safely while remaining a favorite for large-scale plant propagation where clean, bruise-free cuts are vital for success.

Best For The livestock owner or nursery professional requiring an extra-long, straight-blade shear for precision hoof trimming of sheep and goats and high-success-rate plant propagation.

Key Features

• Extended Straight Blade Reach: Featuring a longer 21cm body, these shears provide greater reach and leverage for difficult trimming jobs, making them the preferred choice for managing larger livestock hooves and thick-stemmed cuttings.

• Marquench Hardened Japanese Steel: Forged from premium high-carbon steel and Marquench hardened, these blades retain their razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard shears, delivering professional performance through high-repetition tasks.

• Bruise-Free Cutting Action: Both blades are precision-ground and exceptionally sharp to eliminate tissue bruising, a critical factor in successful nursery propagation and ensuring comfortable, clean cuts for livestock.

• Hard Chrome Plated Finish: The blades are treated with an extra-tough hard chrome plating to provide superior rust resistance and wipe-clean convenience, allowing for easy sterilization between uses on animals or different plant species.

• Balanced Ergonomic Handling: Despite the longer blade, the tool remains perfectly balanced to minimize hand and wrist fatigue, ensuring comfortable use during all-day field work or intensive propagation sessions.
