Unusual machine. Super to clip with. Very lightweight

Might appear cumbersome with a flexible cable at first until you get use to it!

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
A professional flexi drive shaft driven horse/dog clipper from made by Double K Industries of the USA.

Not the type of machine you see frequently in use, but that has more to do with marketing than products fault! Talk to anyone who has one, or has used a friends - they all tell you the same - "a super, quiet, easy to handle and very reliable clipper!"

Aimed at the dog groomer and horse owner/clipper market this is a machine designed to take all makes of "detachable" A5 type blades, and which bears a strong resemblance to the Oster A5 machine in shape and size, however that's when the resemblance stops - the Oster is known for its frequent over heating, this machine is beautifully cool running!

One can see the value of this powerful clipper when clipping alpacas - having the power unit clipped to ones belt and the very low noise level together with the excellent power make it a very desirable tool for shearing of the heavy coats!

The different - non-conventional way of clipping, no cables but using a flexible drive shaft is in the same way identical to shearing sheep. The motor control box is worn off the belt, but can if preferred be hung from a beam or ceiling point. The cable from the control box to the converter unit is just under 11-feet (3.3m.) The variable speed adjustment dial is a valuable facility especially when clipping some large animals, or those who display a nervous tendency toward being clipped. By starting at the lower speed, one can increase by as many as ten stages to the maximum power output, although most end users prefer one speed - the fastest!

Anyone who has sheep shearing experience will immediately recognise the sheer convenience of clipping this way with a shaft! Those who have clipped with more conventional clippers and cable may find the more ridged shaft slightly off putting to start with until they have done a little!

One you have a few miles under your belt you will love it!!

The clipper is not supplied with a blade allowing for the flexibility of use. If you are intending to use it on horses, or alpacas then we would strongly suggest you select either an Aesculap or Moser wide 2.4mm detachable blades for optimum performance.

PLEASE NOTE:
This product is supplied with a 3-pin electrical plug. The 3-pin system is only for use in the UK only - for European or International use a further adapter is required which is not supplied with the charger unit.

Adapters of this nature can be usually purchased from any electrical outlet in the country for which it is intended to use the product.

Customers from the USA should be aware that 240v machines are not suitable for the US electrical power supply. Clippers specifically made to 110v are need for the USA.

SUITABLE BLADE RANGES:
This clipper is not supplied with a blade owing to the fact that as it accepts all detachable A5 type and whatever blade it was packaged with is not likely to be the most preferred one.

This clipper takes all ANDIS/AESCULAP/MOSER/OSTER/LAUBE/THRIVE/WAHL detachable A5 blades.

For full body clipping of either horses or alpacas, we recommend you to purchase either the Aesculap or Moser 2.4mm WIDE detachable blades, which are considered more suited to horse coats of most breeds.

+ One of the more reliable. An innovative design with many attractive features and a very good range of blades

- A number of annoying problems which should have been sorted at the factory gate!" On/off switch inaccessible in an emergency. Infuriating case which is a struggle to get it all back in!

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Made in the USA, and designed by Kim Laube Inc. a clipper of innovative design and which despite a history of annoying faults and unnecessary problems has successfully penetrated most professional clipping circles especially dog grooming parlours and clipping of show cattle.

The Laube 503 is identical to the 513 models, except that it has a two-speed motor rather than a variable speed motor. Often used with a wide blade on horses or show cattle - beef or dairy, and popular in busy dog grooming parlours.

The 503 Laube has the built-in facility of two operating speeds, a standard speed for precision clipping and a faster clip speed for those who want to speed up the operation. This can be a useful facility when confronted with a variation in fibre texture. An important feature of these machines is the constant cool running ability even under prolonged use.

Ultra light, and comfortable to the handle they can afford the operator effortless clipping. Low noise level, thus ideal for any nervous animal, particularly horses. Laube clippers incorporate the detachable "snap-on" blade technology, which avoids fiddling about aligning both the cutter and comb. The blade unit, already pre-tensioned, slides on to a protruding tongue, which then is snapped shut.

Both the Laube 503 and 513 models can be up graded to cordless status with the purchase of a quick charger and battery pack providing even greater flexibility.

+ One of the more reliable. An innovative design with many attractive features and a very good range of blades

- A number of annoying problems which should have been sorted at the factory gate!" On/off switch inaccessible in an emergency. Infuriating case which is a struggle to get it all back in!

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
The Laube 513 is identical to the 503 model, except that it has a variable speed motor rather than two speeds. The variable speed facility allows for you to set the speed at which you wish to clip at any time by turning a knob situated at the rear. This can be a useful facility when confronted with variations in hair texture. An important feature of these machines is the constant cool running ability even under prolonged use.

Laube clippers have a long history of often small, but highly annoying problems. Costs can escalate with repairs and therefore they are really not for "Widows and orphans!" We are told these have been re-dressed, and there is some evidence to suggest that is the case, but other faults then occur and as a result one sees too many Laube clippers back for repairs. Some of the problems in fairness is end-user carelessness and neglect, but a fair degree is down to the manufacturer.

The slogan on the packaging "World Class" might seem - ambitious! This is all very regrettable as this is a range of clipper, which could have swept the animal clipping world if only they performed in a more reliable manner. Hence the fact we are reluctant to award a higher rating.

Ultra light, and comfortable to the handle they can afford the operator effortless clipping. Low noise level, thus ideal for any nervous animal, particularly horses. Laube clippers incorporate the detachable "snap-on" blade technology, which avoids fiddling about aligning both the cutter and comb.

+ Ultra compact. An innovative design with many attractive features and a very good range of blades

- Varying noise levels. Limited range of wide blades. On/off switch inaccessible in an emergency.

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Virtually identical to the Laube model 555 but shorter and without a battery much lighter. A useful mains addition to the range, which could appeal to many horse owners due to the compact nature and small size. Considerably lighter than many other mains machines of its size and power and as a result gives the impression of being comfortable to the handle.

Some field trials carried out on an unwashed summer coated fell pony using a Wahl/Moser wide 2.3 2mm blade proved impressive, however the production model we received to used was not one of the quietest, in fact surprisingly noisy especially at the higher end of the speed ratio, and as such we would have reservations about recommend it for really nervous animals, particularly horses.

Any horse owner thinking about this machine will need to rethink the speed at which they clip when using this type of machine or indeed any clipper of the type fitted with "detachable" blades - whether ceramic or steel. You do need a relaxed approach to your clipping speed - if not tramlines will soon appear. Short strokes are better than longer ones, and work across the hair as well as with the "grain".

The main reason for this is the choice of wide blades available. Compared to the number of blades for dog grooming the choice is limited, particularly so when dealing with some of the more "hairy" and heavy coated native horse breeds! The Moser 2.3mm - CeraBlade or the 2.3mm steel wide blades - are often found to be the best currently available for use on horse especially.

When using the "detachable" blade style clippers one should be aware no matter how good they are they are not of the same power as a typical traditional type machines. Invariably one is using this type of clipper because the horse objects for whatever reason to a traditional noisy machine. Seen in this role as an alternative to not clipping or heavy sedation they are extremely valuable and with proper use and application perform as well as any traditional clipper, producing some quality clips on a range of horse or cattle breeds.

Practical experience as with most clipping of any animal is invaluable! Knowledge is never complete - no matter how experienced the operator!

An element of simple "self servicing" is important with these clippers, and should be done on a regular basis to maintain peak performance. Laube clippers incorporate the detachable "snap-on" blade technology, which avoids fiddling about aligning the cutter and comb.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

+ Impressive light duty small clipper on most breeds of horses, certainly with the CeraBlade on of the best of its type. Ideal for the nervous animal.

- Slightly limited range of existing wide blades. Rear positioned on/off switch.

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
The Moser "Horseline" Artiko is a cloned copy of the highly successful Moser Max 45 - one of the most powerful dog clippers on the market.

The Artiko inherits all these qualities and with the "improved" ceramic blade technology it should justify the increased price, and will certainly often prove to be the difference between clipping or not on many a nervous animal.

The newly launched Cera ceramic coated blade with a longer clipping life is a welcomed introduction, however some evidence suggests whilst they work perfectly on most breeds of horses - a few - thick coated cobs and natives - can presents problems!

Both the ceramic and the steel 2.3mm wide blades will cope with most horse coats, however due to the many breeds and resulting cross breeds occasionally one will meet with a coat texture which creates difficulties and in some case cannot be clipped with this type of blade. Unfortunately this is difficult to predict without first attempting to clip.

However is cases were difficulty is experience, start with slowing down the speed at which you attempt to "push" the machine/blade through the coat hair. Success may often be achieved if you just "crawl" over the area avoiding the blades becoming clogged with hair. This may seem a bit of a "pain" but then presumably you are in the first instant using this type machine because a traditional machine is not for whatever reason acceptable to either you or your horse or both.

If this is not the case then clearly you should not be using the "Artiko" or similar type clippers, and should use a tradition heavy-duty unit.

The ceramic-coated blade is not the same as the pure ceramic blade sets used by some of the dog groomers. This is a steel blade coated with ceramic powder, which as a result give increased performance and is said to stay sharper for longer. Subsequent lapping (sharpening) will wear away the ceramic coating in time, however one still has a very useful steel blade when this happens.

Horse users in particular will need to rethink the speed at which they clip when using this type of machine or indeed any clipper of the type fitted with "detachable" blades - whether ceramic or steel. You do need a relaxed approach to your clipping speed - if not tramlines will soon appear. Short strokes are better than longer ones, and work across the hair as well as with the "grain". Applied in this way and the clipper will perform to expectations in most cases.

The main reason for this is the choice of wide blades available. Compared to the number of blades for dog grooming the choice is limited, particularly so when dealing with some of the more "hairy" and heavy coated native horse breeds! The Moser 2.3mm - CeraBlade or the 2.3mm steel wide blades - are often found to be the best currently available.

When using the "detachable" blade style clippers one should be aware no matter how good they are they are not of the same power as a typical traditional type machines. Invariably one is using this type of clipper because the horse objects for whatever reason to a traditional noisy machine. Seen in this role as an alternative to not clipping or heavy sedation they are extremely valuable and with proper use and application perform as well as any traditional clipper, producing some quality clips on a range of horse or cattle breeds.

Practical experience as with most clipping of any animal is invaluable! Knowledge is never complete - no matter how experienced the operator!

When doing full body clipping two blades are a wise precaution, just in case one suddenly goes blunt, which in fairness can happen with any make of clipper! For cattle or horse's heads and intricate parts of the legs (udders in the case of dairy cows) one can select a suitable blade from an extensive range of "narrow" blades.

Equipped with an efficient two-speed 45w motor, it has all the superior qualities associated with a quality German built product. The attractive style of the casing enhances a shaped handpiece, giving the combination of balance and lightness, which will be popular with many female users. Various features put this machine into a superior category, especially the ability to operate at two speeds and over prolonged periods without any signs of overheating. With a very acceptable noise level it is almost vibration free.
