THE HYDRAULIC HOOF NIPPER TOOL Has a comfortable non-slip rubber grip with the grounding ring for safe blade technology. Weight is 5 lbs. Made of aluminum and Hardened steel. All parts are CNC Machined to the highest tolerances. All internal parts are made from the highest quality seals and springs we could find and are replaceable. The two sizes of quick replaceable cutting blades are 1" 3/8 and 2 " Held in place with 3 small screws each. With the 2"blades it usually takes 3-7 nips per hoof as compared to 1" manuals,twice as many times ,giving the horse that many more times to feel the pressure and pull away. Hoof sizes 2 and up may require more. Simply said half as many cuts more than half the time under the horse. Less time bent over is another reason this tool makes it safer for the farrier and animals. A tool for all experienced Farriers. Pat.Pend.

Making it portable, There is one quick coupler hose end, and a 4 wire plug,making it possible to detach the hose and tool from the pump box .There is a battery quick connector mounted outside the box,making it easy and quick to disconnect from the battery source.

Battery cables with a Anderson power products connector included.For a portable battery. Or With your vehicle you can also connect the wiring to your own vehicle battery system.You supply the wiring. It's been my experience to use a deep cell boat battery in a case and charge it on the weekends, easily making all week on one charge. Using a small light lawn mower battery is good for a one full day making it ideal for work far from your vehicle.
MAKING NOISE OR SOUND The tool it self makes no noise or sound at all. except if the hoof in very dry, like manuals nippers do, there is a snap sound. The hydraulic pump box is 20' to 40' feet away 40' feet with optional hose. The pump does make a small sound. Most horses don't associate this sound with the farrier because it comes from a different place. I use this tool next to the horse to see if there may be any sound problems,before picking up any hoofs.If there is. I simply do not use it our insulate the sound some how,or close the doors on my truck,where the pump box usually is and this works very well.

They are designed to be sharpened many times,with proper care should last for several years. Replacement cost is $70.00 us dollars. The hydraulic hose is not covered under any warranty,So be careful,and not let the horse walk on it. Replacement cost is $80.00 us dollars.
