PREMIER - Key Persons
I've heard this was a good brand before purchasing. It is! Feels good in my small hands and really cuts great. Would recommend this product.
This is the first pair of hand shears I've purchased, although I have used and borrowed multiple other hand shears. I use them to trim excess hair on my Dorper/Katahdin herd and they do great, many of the sheep are skittish from the electric shears I would previously rent. Takes longer but it never malfunctions or overheats like some electric shears.
I bought these shears to trim off the small amount of hair that doesn't fall off the Black Belly sheep I own, They work great. They are light weight, easy to use, and ,best of all, portable. I can use them in the barn or out in the field. I highly recommend these shears to everyone.
