Description
Clipping the hooves of sheep and goats can be tricky at the best of times. Especially when the health and comfort of your animals is your top priority. It’s also ours; which is why we designed the FELCO 50 hoof clippers to be a tool that is quick, durable, precise, and so comfortable to use that all your efforts can be focussed on keeping your animals calm and under your control. The XYLAN® coating on the blades keep the tool cleaner to protect against spreading hoof infections to further enhance your peace of mind. Designed on the FELCO 7 model, these shears have an agile angled head that is easily adjusted to get its clean cutting power to just where you need it. The ingenious revolving handle reduces the cutting force required by about 30%. The FELCO 50 hoof clippers are lightweight, reliable and a pleasure to operate. Now if only your sheep and goats were as consistently cooperative.

Product & Maintenance Tips
Cleaning
It is advisable to clean your tool after each use. If your tool is particularly dirty or subject to rusting after exposure to moisture, do not delay cleaning.
Oiling
After cleaning, it is advisable to oil the tool so as to protect it from corrosion. The oil will also unjam the tool.
Changing the shock absorber
When the tool closes too abruptly during pruning, and the cushion is in good condition, the shock absorber should be changed.
Changing the thumb catch
When the thumb catch is damaged and loosens when used, even when the screw is readjusted, change it.
Changing the plastic coatings for handles
If the coatings are badly damaged, you can replace them. Soak the coatings for 2 minutes in boiling water - recommended glue: Loctite 415.
