FELCO 50 - Special Application - Hoof Clippers with Rotating Handle

FELCO 50 Special Application - Hoof Clippers with Rotating Handle

The FELCO 50 is a highly specialized tool designed specifically for the demanding task of paring and trimming sheep and goat hooves. Built on the same advanced ergonomic platform as FELCO’s professional pruning shears, it features a revolutionary rotating handle that distributes the cutting effort across all fingers. This mechanism reduces the physical force required for each cut by up to 30%, making it far easier to manage the tough, fibrous material of hooves while protecting the user from hand fatigue and repetitive strain injuries.

Best For Farmers, veterinarians, and livestock managers who require a high-leverage, ergonomic solution for frequent hoof maintenance and want to minimize physical exertion and joint strain.

Key Features

• Hoof-Specific Cutting Head: Features specially tempered blades designed to slice through hard hoof horn cleanly and precisely, ensuring the health and mobility of the animal.

• XYLAN® Protective Coating: The blades are coated with XYLAN® to provide superior corrosion resistance and prevent the buildup of organic matter, making the tool easier to clean and maintain in farm environments.

• Ergonomic Rotating Handle: The lower handle rotates on its axis as you squeeze, working with the natural movement of your hand to prevent blisters and reduce the risk of carpal tunnel during large-scale flock maintenance.

• Forged Aluminum Construction: The handles are crafted from high-strength drop-forged aluminum alloy, providing the industrial-grade durability needed for outdoor agricultural use while remaining lightweight.

• Precision Adjustment System: Equipped with a micrometric adjustment nut, allowing the user to fine-tune the blade alignment for a perfect, snag-free cut every time.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method

• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
