HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
+ Highly Impressive! Traditional German quality combined with outstanding design and engineering skills. Intended to give years of reliability. The FAV5 mains version has quickly shown its ability in the many aspects of the grooming world both in the UK and worldwide. It has produced quiet outstanding performance results in the field of the nervous animals to become one of the most accepted clipping machine for nervous animals most especially horses! The FAV5 CL cordless should be expected to equal and build on that success.
- We have never approved of rear end positioning of on/off switch for emergency use
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION :
A "detachable" A5 blade powerful professional cordless clipper of exceptional low noise level with virtually no vibration, which will take all makes of recognised A5 type detachable pre- tensioned blades both narrow and wide.
The Aesculap FAV5 CL has similarities in style to the very successful Heiniger "Saphir" (Which we understand Aesculap had considerable involvement with during a period of joint collaboration between the two companies!). However the powerful motor enables you to be more ambitious in your clipping scope! The FAV5 CL is more compact than the "Saphir" - shorter by about a half an inch (with both blade and battery fitted) and the body casing has been carefully designed to provide a slim line "shaped hold" for maximum "grip" comfort when operating. The overall visual and practical effect is one of a really nice compact slim handpiece!
Another instantly recognised feature when you switch the machine on is the smooth unmistakable "Aesculap" motor tone. Aesculap clippers have always been noted for motors that emitted smoother tones than many other similar machines and the FAV5"CL" builds on this quieter motor feature with vibration eradicated.
Essentially designed with the features FAV5 main clipper, but a cordless version! - A "detachable" A5 type blade using professional machine slightly shorter in length than the mains powered FAV5 and with a slimmer styled body casing that is extremely comfortable to hold and work with. Typically German! - Well thought through design and of course engineered and manufactured to perfection!
German made products have a long history of being engineered to a standard close to perfection, and as one would expect from the top German veterinary manufacturer, the Aesculap FAV5 CL continues on that legacy - especially important for any professional dog parlour clipper where product reliability is the keyword.
Peasridge was privileged to conduct intensive practical field trials with the FAV5 mains machine and with the cordless version prior to production. As we expected the FAV5 CL fully lived up to the very high standards of performance set by the FAV5 mains machine and fully met the criteria's we have come to expect from Aesculap over many years of association.
Price conscious customers may not always appreciate the number of engineering features that lifts a machine of this calibre into a superior category and which places it ahead of other and often cheaper competitors:
A ball bearing universal motor provides great durability
A smooth low noise level motor tone - the hallmark of Aesculap quality!
The expectancy of a long working life of reliability
A smooth running motor with low cutting stroke ratio generating virtually a total absence of vibration.
A ventilation system eliminating overheating in prolonged use. A ventilation system eliminating overheating in prolonged use.
The motor and component parts in an unbreakable body casing
Made in Germany, by highly skilled German engineers
Two year manufacturer's warranty.
Manufactured to a standard rarely seen these days.
Given normal treatment, disciplined cleaning after use, and attention to the minimal routine maintenance, then a FAV 5 cordless will generally be with you for several decades which is normally a lot longer than many other - less expensive machines - and whose service and repair bills may very soon exceed the initial investment of an Aesculap! No professional business can afford it principle tools to disrupt the working day with breakdowns - hence the importance in buying right!
Yes - the retail price is higher than other more economy machines! Aesculap make no apology for producing high quality product without compromise! A superior product usually works out much cheaper in maintenance costs over the many years of service it gives.
DOG GROOMERS:
Whilst many dog groomers are traditionally user of "mains machine", it could be worth thinking about some of the advantages reliable cordless machines now offer. The new generation of cordless clippers are a vast improvement to those of previous decades with major advances in battery technology. Batteries have become less unreliable in terms of holding charge, much lighter, less expensive, and far easier to maintain in peak performance given that you use them correctly. As the Heiniger "Saphir" has shown - quality cordless machines are quickly appreciated in dog grooming circles and eagerly sought when groomers are assured of high quality and machine that will allow them the continuing use their existing blades!!
The FAV5 offer this and more! Whilst some may feel the purchase price is somewhat higher than they had wished to invest, consider for a moment realistically the regular repair and maintenance bills of the more "attractively" priced machines and the financial effect of a robust business being inconvenienced with mechanical breakdowns. One major breakdown couple with the interruption of your business can change the perception of price!
PET OWNERS - HOME CLIPPING:
Most start with a cheap fixed blade clipper only to learn that despite all that is written on the packaging - this is not the machine - nor blade for the family pets clip! Those with "clipped breeds are not seeking the standard of show clipping, just simple husbandry clipping! It is the "A5 type detachable blade using clipper that is needed, and for many who lack the experience of the professional yet are equally capable of clipping their dog - the cordless machine is perfect! In many instances not only does a cordless machine offer greater flexibility in clipping when and where you want, but it eliminates having to worry about trailing cables whilst you work!
EQUINE OWNERS:
The Aesculap FAV5 "CL" Cordless offers owners of almost impossible to clip nervous horses a real chance for the first time to clip your animal! - In many cases without the need for sedation and the associated veterinary cost! If your horse is not of a nervous temperament then this machine is NOT for you!
Whilst projected at the dog grooming market, the equine owner with a clipper shy horse the FAV5 CL advances clipping to a higher level than the amazing abilities of the FAV5 mains machine!. This must surely be the answer to the clipping nightmare so many endure!! At last a professional and powerful "cordless" small and compact clipper with a "smooth tone" low level of working noise that many horses will find not disturbing..
On all our extensive tests on nervous horses with the mains version - whether Thor'bred, hairy cobs or natives - we found the smooth and soft noise of the clipper blades when operating plus the lack of any vibration made for a more contented horse and a stress freer operator. On so many occasions those testing it for the first time on their really nervous horses before they subsequently purchased freely admitted they had experienced a "first " in the experience of "normal" clipping (often to without the added cost of veterinary sedation!)
We would stress that as good as any clipping machine is - and both the Aesculap FAV5's are in a league of their own when it come to clipping nervous horses, it is important the operator acquires knowledge of the various detachable wide blades which are suitable for the task in hand. No two horses have identical coat textures, clips can and often do vary from season to season. There are a number of "wide" blades on the market, not all have been designed "exclusively" for full body clipping of horses. Intended and designed for the large dog breeds and perhaps they happen to clip a horse! Different blades will perform better on various clipping tasks! Seek advice - blade knowledge is important! When you use the A5 detachable blade using type clipper, you need to think and clip differently to the traditional type machine and blades.
Our own extensive field trials with both mains and cordless versions suggest very convincingly that both the Moser 2.3mm standard #10 wide and the Aesculap 2.4mm standard full wide #10 blade are the blades best suited to equine full body clipping, whilst others may give a result, these two blades have proved themselves highly successful. In the case of certain thor'bred breeds with very fine bordering on almost "wispy" type coats the Moser 2.3mm fine #10 wide may prove a more successful blade to use. We give a good deal of information on both blades, please read and compare both if applicable.
It is worth mentioning that the manner in which the operator uses theses machines - is - crucial to the quality of the performance and clip. It is "essential" the operator takes a "relaxed" approach to the clipping task, does not rush the clipping and at all times allows the machine to glide through the coat, rather than attempting to push the clipper at a pace faster than it can cope. The operators hand should be an instrument of "guidance" not attempting to "push!" All too often those clipping appear to require too clip at a pace that is not commensurate with the blade - whether traditional or detachable, and no matter what make of machine is used! This must be acknowledged and applied from the start!
Other factors such as individual length of a cutting stroke is crucial - short lengths, rather than long "blows" produce far better results than clipping in long "lawn mower" stripes. Criss cross clipping action in confined areas rather than open up extensive areas give a more professional finish. At all times the blade face must be flat to the animal's body surface."Aquaplane" and the result may well be "tramlines!"
Frequent oiling of blades whatever machine used is essential too! Lubrication is the only way all makes of blades can keep cool and running in a performance that gives a satisfactory clip. The Aesculap cordless clipper is no different! A small quantity of oil every 3/5 minutes should be the discipline!
VETERINARIANS
For the laboratory or veterinarian in clinical work - where reliability and continuous use is of paramount importance - a machine of this calibre will easily undertake large or small animal work whether in a university laboratory or busy surgery!
LONG HAIRED CAT & RABBIT OWNERS:
Our extensive tests convince us it is especially ideal for clipping any long hair nervous cat breeds due to its ultra low noise tone, as well as the absence of vibration. Cats are not one of the clipped species that are generally easy to handle and a cordless machine offer the owner or operator additional comfort in the knowledge that they do not have to consider restriction of a cable when the machine is in use or the trailing cable on the floor. The compact nature of the FAV5 CL is an added attraction to the already stated low noise level and absence of vibration. The narrow blade range will allow you to a wide choice in blade selection for all nature of tasks you may wish or need to carry out!
An ideal choice for those who have to tackle the daunting task of cutting away Matts from both long haired cats and rabbit breeds
In addition to long haired cats it is perfect for routine, and hygiene use on the many pet breeds of both long and short haired rabbits. Owners of rabbit breeds with a valuable commercial fibre will find the clipper perfect for all types of "fibre shearing", and the wide range of blades available can be used to cope with every requirement.
ANGORA GOAT SMALL FLOCK OWNERS:
Light and compact, it is perfect for removing the valuable coat product of the Angora whether goat or rabbit. With a wide range of A5 detachable blades that can be selected for whatever the task confronting you, you will have no problem in seeking a solution to your needs.
ALPACCA SMALL STUD OWNERS:
Many small studs of alpacas are successfully clipped or "sheared" annually with small detachable A5 blade type clippers. Generally with the lack of powerful cordless machines, mains machines have been used. Now the Aesculap FAV5 CL offer the opportunity to clip what is not one of the easiest species - in cordless mode! The smooth low tone notes of the FAV5 are beneficial to the operator and perfect for your animals in ensuring that minimum stress is created. Using similar wide blades recommended for full body horse clipping and switching to a narrow blade where it is felt more suitable the FAV5 CL offers considerable flexibility.
As with equine full body clipping, so with the Alpaca, the correct blade selection is crucial and again both the Moser 2.3mm standard #10 wide and the Aesculap 2.4mm standard full wide #10 blade are in our opinion by far the best blades suited for quality clipping performance of a high value fleece.

- Expensive? Unashamedly - Yes! Pure quality has a price!
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
From AESCULAP of GERMANY - "One of the World's finest engineered A5 detachable blade using dog clippers made!"
With over two decades of manufacturing the Favorita II - probably the best dog clipper made with a long and proven history of reliability - now Aesculap have stormed the dog grooming world - lifting manufacturing standards to a new level with the introduction of their FAV5 - their first ever detachable A5 blade using clipper!
The FAV5 is a powerful machine with a smooth running and sounding motor which apart from being typically Aesculap in tone - it inspires confidence in its ability to generate power for professional use. Now with the power and expertise of Aesculap engineering you can also fit not only your existing detachable A5 blades - whether Oster, Andis, Laube, Thrive or Wahl, but Aesculap have also created a full range of Aesculap high quality German detachable A5 which closely mirror the sizes of Oster other similar makes of A5 blades.

Plus you can relax in the confidence of Aesculap after sales support - considered second to none!
For the average dog grooming parlour a heavy investment in blades will always have a consideration on the make and model of clipper used when replacement is being considered. With the Aesculap FAV5 you can be assured all your favourite detachable A5 blades will fit and can be used as you desire.
Yes - the retail price is considerably higher than other more economy machines. Aesculap make no apology for producing high quality product without compromise! A superior product usually works out much cheaper in maintenance over the many years of service it gives.
Whilst many dog groomers may feel the purchase price is considerably higher than they wish to necessarily invest, consider the more regular repair and maintenance bills of the more economy priced machines and the financial effect of a robust business being inconvenienced with mechanical breakdowns.
.
EQUINE OWNERS:
Whilst projected at the dog grooming market, the equine owner with a clipper shy horse the FAV5 must surely be the answer to your clipping nightmare! At lasts a professional and powerful small clipper with a level of working noise that most horses will not freak over.
On all our extensive pre production tests on nervous horses whether hairy cobs or natives we found the smooth and soft noise of the clipper blades when operating plus the lack of any vibration made for a more contented horse and a stress freer operator. It is important the operator acquires knowledge of the various detachable wide blades which are suitable for the task in hand. Seek advice - blade knowledge is important!
Early tests suggested that fitted with the correct blade this clipper had the potential to be perfect for use with the "nervous" horse. Results were quiet literally "staggering!"
Later when the FAV 5 was in production, to avoid customers committing to purchase before they knew with certainty we have frequently loan FAV5 models to nervous horse owners all over Europe and those who primarily had horses which could not be clipped without sedation.
On ALL occasions the feedback was positive! Many who loaned initially to test, subsequently purchased solely because now for the first time they could clip their horse and in many cases sedation was not required! These results bordered on the "unbelievable!"
We certainly believe this clipper could one day be the fore-runner of the clipper of the future! Not only its acceptance by nervous horses, but the size and overall weight is perfect for what is surly an hour plus of clipping. If that was not enough one last and huge advantage for the horse owner who maybe clips a few times a year - detachable blades - not more tensioning which can be such a "headache" for some.
Whilst probably is a decade or more away- it would be ..........one huge step for the equine owner!
Meanwhile for those who struggle to clip their horses its merits are awesome! That said you do need to select the right blades! So consult us before you contemplate purchasing!
Our own field trials suggest convincingly that both the Moser 2.3mm standard #10 wide and the Aesculap 2.4mm standard full wide #10 blade are the blades best suited to equine full body clipping, whist other may give a result these two blades have proved to date highly successful.
It is worth mentioning that the mode or manner in which the operator uses the machine - is - crucial to the quality of the performance and clip. This is especially true when confronted with a dense coated cob or native breed. It is "essential" the operator takes a "relaxed" approach to the clipping task, does not rush the clipping and at all times allows the machine to glide through the coat, rather than attempting to push the clipper. This must be emphasised at the start!
Other factors such as individual length of cut is crucial - short lengths produce far better results than clipping in long "lawn mower" stripes. Criss cross clipping action in confined areas rather than open up extensive areas give a more professional finish. At all times the blade face must be flat to the animal's body surface.

Oster clippers, have for many, especially those involved in the dog grooming business, been synonymous with the clipping of dogs. However both time and strong competition have somewhat eroded what was once a market exclusively "Oster" Since the days of the near famous single and two speed A5 clippers several new Oster models that have emerged have proved somewhat disappointing.
The new Power Max" is made in China. Hopefully a wise decision!
There are a few aspects we would question! Described on the official Oster web site as "powerful, time saving and lightweight clippers" it is also claimed to be 20% lighter than the Oster A5! Assuming the Oster A5 is the same as they supply the UK market, then according to our electronic scales the weight is 0.5kilos with the blade fitted which happens to be exactly the same weight we recorded for the Oster A5.
We compared it to a range of other - compatible professional makes - admittedly all 35w dog clippers and physiologically we were of the opinion it felt heaver!
Oster literature that claims the clipper has a powerful (yet silent) cool running motor. In all the years we have tested clippers and trimmers (of all sizes) we have never come across a "silent" clipper and the "Power Max" is no exception! The production model we tested with a blade fitted was on a par with most machines of its type as far as noise levels where concerned.
A curious a comment in the manual under "Important Safeguards "that states "The intended operating time is 20 minutes!" (See manual heading -WARNINGS No:16) In a busy grooming or home use environment that might be considered rather "restrictive!"
Lastly Oster say this is the "New Kid on the Block!" and capable of pretty robust work in a fully professional arena. Indeed this may well be so, but we being a bit "long in the tooth" and cautious by nature, prefer to allow the passing of time to be the judge. If it is a good as is stated one can only wonder what justifies the considerably higher price of the A5's?
On the plus side the design and overall finish is good with a "satin" type finish to the upper portion of the upper casing, at the rear of which is the on/off speed selection switch. This casing is set into a rubberised upper casing secured with four screws to the lower casing moulded in the same rubberised material. One of the features of this rubberised body casing covering is that it provides excellent "grip" especially when working in warm conditions. The "bail" arm (hanging hook) is rigid - a nice design feature!
The blade release mechanism follows the tradition method. (Do remember to fully push the blade release lever in and hold it fully depressed whilst you remove the blade. These break easily on all machines if you don't!) The blade drive lever has been re-designed and is a robust plastic component of which two spares are supplied at the time of purchase - suggesting they may wear and need to be periodically renewed.
Potential customer should note that Oster clippers are generally always sold without a blade - the "Power Max" is no exception!. Infuriating as it may be! - Especially if you are not aware, and having rushed home to try out the new "purchase" on the family hound, only to find you are …bladeless! We are told it is done this way because whatever blade was added would not suit all needs! Funny - but most manufacturers' making dog clippers sells them with a blade! (Agreed - Aesculap also don't on their Favourita II! But they do on their fantastic FAV5.)
Seems therefore not to be such a problem!
In conclusion a big improvement from the old fashioned style of the Oster A5 (Black or Burgundy models) Nice grip even if - to our thinking, heavier than say an ANDIS. Easy manoeuvrability. If as good as claimed it will certainly add competition to all but the more superior German machines.
In short as yet "un-proven" but potentially "with promise!"

IMPORTANT! - CLIPPER VOLTAGE RATING -
The electrical machines we offer for sale are principally for use with the electrical supply system operation in the UK namely 240volt. This machine is there equipped with a suitable voltage motor and component parts and will have a supporting identification plate on the casing. In addition to working on the UK electrical system it can normally be used on any European 220/240 volt system.
However it is supplied with a UK 3-pin plug and therefore will need an appropriate "adaptor" plug into which the UK 3-pin will fit. Whilst these are not readily available to us they can be usually easily obtained at your local electrical outlet.
Customers out side of the UK and European Countries should check their electrical supply rating and seek professional advice from a qualified electrician.
USA Customers should note that with a national 110-volt electrical supply system 240-volt products will need specialist converter equipment and may still not work. It is recommended that you seek professional advice from a qualified electrician before making a purchase.

+ Smart and innovative cordless clipper ideal for the "field" Veterinary Surgeon. Good value!
- Not really suitable for horses for "full body clipping,
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
A "clone" of the successful black Andis AGR+ cordless clipper - the "Vet Pack" is a tailor made version for the professional veterinarian in an attractive green casing and supplied with a ceramic #40 surgical 0.25mm blade from the Andis "Ceramic Edge" blade range.
A well-designed cordless professional small animal clipper, which has potential for veterinary use with larger animals as well. The machine has the blade hinge assembly that enables it to take most makes of "detachable" blades including both narrow and wide detachable blades. Oster blades and the popular German makes of Aesculap and Moser all fit and are interchangeable.
American made, this machine instantly had an appeal to many vets at a time when the choice was very much narrowed to a limited number with the Oster Power Pro the main alternative. Today with the advent of the Heiniger "Saphir" which has found a big appeal with many vets, the selection is more favourable, and both the Andis and Heiniger model would appear to have a more reasonably price - as well as rather more "reliable" batteries!
As with the earlier AGR+ (Black) good design features incorporating a comfortable shaped handpiece which when fitted with the battery iresult in both a well balanced and relatively light machine. Blade attachment is easy to operate, smooth and crisp. Under prolonged use the motor remains cool running, with an acceptable low noise level and little vibration. The on/off switch is perfectly placed for easy operation in an emergency.
The machine is supplied with an Andis #40 "Ceramic Edge" blade. The blade consists of a steel comb blade and a ceramic cutter. Ceramic blades are considered to run cooler and stay sharper for a longer period. It should be noted however that there is a "running in" period before these advantages are evident, and therefore you will not notice the benefits immediately.
Like most Andis clippers there is a minor routine maintenance tasks to perform to keep the machine in peak performance. Principally this involves the replacement of the "blade drive assembly". This should be done when you are of the opinion that the performance of the clipper is not at its peak - always assuming the blade in use is not losing it cutting edge - (use several blades to test) if the performance still seems to be below par change the blade drive assembly. Instruction are given in your manual.
The charger is easy to operate and can be used with the in - car adapter (supplied with clipper kit) - the usual method of inserting into the car cigarette lighter adapter slot. A green light on the car adapter will indicate the adapter is plugged in correctly and taking current. (If not working the fuse may need replacing)
A cord pack is available as an optional extra. This allows for the conversion from battery to corded. This is achieved by releasing the battery and replacing it with the cord pack.

MYTI-LITE FOOTSHEARS- Mk III
Product code: 0231
Much the same size as the highly acclaimed MkII model, the MYTI-LITE Foot shear - Mk III version continues the same professional high quality as well as being extremely lightweight and compact, perhaps the major difference being the serrated blade, although several useful improvements have been added.
Modifications have been made to the locking lever which is re-sited between the handles and is easy to operate and effective. The spring operating the handles is deeper inset into the handles - thus avoiding those annoying occasions when the spring "popped" out and was invariably lost! The centre pin locking the blades has been improved.
A "serration" has been added to the lower blade - (the upper blade remains plain) which will prove an advantage when dealing with hard feet!
MYTI-LITE Foot shears have more than proved they compete with the larger professional foot shears, whilst accommodating even the smallest hand without any loss of cutting power. Plastic handles, with rubberised gips that fit into your hand give good grip.
The Mk II MYTI LITE was loved by the many ladies who trim sheep's feet, admired and often bought by professionals for their ability to cut even the toughest of feet - the Mark III model will only add to the already proven success!
Blades can be re-sharpened a number of times.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
+ As one of the few cordless professional small animal clippers with two batteries available we rate this the best we have seen and tested to date. Fast re-charge time. Very compact unit! Constant reliability! Excellent value considering the quality and available alternatives!
- Hard really to find much to criticise - maybe a larger blade release lever would have been more user friendly - although in fairness it compares well with other makes ! The On/off switch could be more accessible.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION :
When we saw the "Saphir" for the first time at the major German Trade Fair "Interzoo" in 2008 we felt we were looking at a machine that had an ability to bring a new bench mark to the world of the cordless machine.
Several months later when we received a production model to try and test - many veterinary practices all over the UK confirmed our suspicions - a potential winner!
All the vets who tested the machine asked the same question - how soon can you supply one!
Heiniger are renowned Internationally for their large animal clippers and perhaps even more so for the high quality shearing equipment they manufactures, so say nothing of probably manufacturing one of the most comprehensive cutter and comb blade range designed for every shearing possibility.
In over two decades we have seen Heiniger establish themselves in the UK - both in the field of sheep shearing and also in the equine world, facing strong traditional competition, to become one of the leading players in the UK market, and a major International manufacturer both in respect of sheep shearing and large animal clipping.
The "Saphir" we feel confident will very soon establish Heiniger as the first choice amongst the many veterinary practitioner seeking reliability and quality combined! Hopefully the same machine may one day emerge in the form of a corded machine - projected at the professional dog groomer. Certainly when others of it calibre fall short of these very basic requirements - it set new bench marks for quality and reliability which will be eagerly grasped by the veterinary end user.
Whilst cordless clipper are not always the preferred choice amongst professional dog groomers with the vast majority selecting the corded models, the "Saphir" will no doubt be a serious contender with the many mobile groomers and those domestic pet owners who prefer cordless to mains.
The nervous horse owner may well find interest in this machine also and assuming the Heiniger wide blade is proved to be suitable for most horse coats or they select and use the already proven Moser #10 2.3mm wide blade we have every reason to expect satisfaction.
Features including the low noise level plus relative none existence of vibration will be especially appealing to the end user. When doing the fetlocks or hogging try switching to a #40 or #30 blade for those denser and more coarse areas and clip freestyle to avoid going to close. An attachment comb could be considered.
The "Saphir" is delightfully lightweight - a mere 0.44kg - even with battery attached, nice and compact - under 205mm/8-inches including a narrow blade attached , comfortable to both hold and operate whether in a male or female hand - the clipper body casing having been shaped to give a slimmer grip just were you hold it! The powerful 35 watt motor has soft motor note that is instantly associated with high quality engineering of the Germanic type. Free of vibration its single speed motor provides 2650 double cutting strokes per minute.
As a veterinary clipper it will invariably be judged against the Oster Power Pro Mk II - the clipper almost universally used by UK vets! Sadly the new Mk II Oster has not in our experience proved to be reliable in so far as the battery unit has been concerned especially!
Many vets have experienced frustration as well as additional expense when discovering Mk I batteries would not fit the new Mk II battery charger with expensive knock on costs if your Mk I charger failed and you had to replace it! If that was not bad enough one too often found the battery failed to charge correctly!
Another annoying feature - although in fairness most vets accepted it - probably due to no alternative - the Power Pro is noticeably heavy and slightly unbalanced when connected to either Mk I or Mk II batteries
Now there is an alternative - the "Saphir" has a lightweight battery at 100grams compared to the Oster battery at twice the weight (200grams)
The "Saphir" from the end user perception has to be the nicer balanced machine to use! The operating feel of the "Saphir" is robust powerful and professional - it offers a confident clip whether surgical or more prolonged. One critical observation - the rear mounted switch is not in our favourite position for an emergency stop! We would have preferred the switch to be more accessible.
The "Saphir" is powered by a lightweight Lithium-ion batteries - it is supplied with two for continuous clipping. Each battery has a clip time of 50 minutes with a fast re-charge time of 45 minutes
Lithium-ion batteries (sometimes abbreviated Li-ion batteries) are a type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ion moves between the anode and cathode. The lithium ion moves from the anode to the cathode during discharge and in reverse, from the cathode to the anode, when charging.
Lithium ion batteries are common in consumer electronics and are one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios; they have no memory effect and a slow loss of charge when not in use.
The light and compact charger unit provides two charging bays. If the clipper is placed in the charging bay, (Bay with raised back surround.) the charger will charge the clipper. The spare battery in its charging bay however will not be charged. Remove the clipper from its charging bay, the charger will then charge the spare battery. A red led light indicating charging is in progress, a green led light indicating charging has completed. In the rear of the charger casing slots enable it to be wall mounted if required
Unlike some other machines a separate car charging unit is considered not necessary. With two batteries, you have a total of about 100 minutes clipping time - each battery lasting just under one hour.
If a vet starts with two freshly charged batteries in the morning he/she should come through the day without experiencing charging problems.
As with most detachable blade taking machines the "Saphir" can be used with any of your existing detachable A5 type blades including those of Oster, Andis, Aesculap, Moser and Wahl manufacture, as well as the newly created range of fifteen blades currently available from Heiniger which closely mirror the Oster range in the various sizes.
Supplied without a blade in consideration that most end user purchasing this excellent machine will most likely already have their own detachable blades, the Heiniger range offers two surgical type blades - a size #50/0.4mm and a size #40/0.8mm. Sizes #30/0.8 and #15/1.5mm. A popular size #10/1.8mm and both sizes #9/2mm and #8.5/2.8mm. Body blades include skip tooth and full blades in sizes #7/3.2mm, #5/6mm and #4/9.5mm. A toe blade - size #5/8 at o.8mm and a wide blade #10W/2.3mm.
Additional blades to the range may follow in the future.
Heiniger detachable blades are made to a high standard backed with many years experience of successful blade manufacture and are supplied in a satin steel finish. Packaging is innovative with information on compatibility, blade use and size.
Most of the standard "snap on" type attachment comb can be fitted to blades from blades size #50 to size #8.5. Blades of all makes below this size do not accept attachment combs, due to the increasing size of the comb blade. Also combs will not fit the "detachable" wide type blades as used for large dog breeds or for full body horse clipping.
The purpose of the attachment comb is to leave a greater length of un-cut hair than the blade alone would normally leave. It is important to remember however that if you use an attachment comb you must be very particular with the grooming of the coat. There MUST NOT be any tangles or knots - otherwise the comb may come off the blade, it may well refuse to pass through the hair, and the clipping process may be painful to the animal!
The "Saphir" comes packaged in a superbly laid out hard carry case - well designed and perfect for the "on the move" practitioner, for storage in surgery, or the mobile groomer, or pet owner - even down to three compartments to store your surgical or other blades! Few manufactures provide such refreshing attention to detail! One of the nice aspects of this well laid out case is that all the items store well in provided compartments - even down to the charger cable - usually impossible to pack away!
We were highly impressed with Heiniger consideration of consumer needs and especially their very precise and well written instruction manual text and supporting images all of which are done in a most informative and easily understood manner to embrace both the professional and novice user! This is refreshing to see at a time when many non professional are turning to the skill of clipping and fulfils the requirements of current UK legislation in safely standard.

PEASRIDGE CONCLUSION!
With a limited choice of professional 35watt cordless clippers currently available the appearance of the Heiniger "Saphir" will be eagerly welcomed by many veterinary practices who we feel sure will buy the Heiniger "Saphir" and will find they have made a sound investment!
For a long time the veterinary market has been starved of choice in the cordless field and Heiniger have surely recognised a gap in the market desperate for a new and reliable professional detachable blade using cordless clipper which would take the wide range of blades as might be found in existence in any normal busy veterinary practice.
Peasridge have over several months tested the "Saphir" with a variety of busy and large practices with a number of vets and nursing staff using the machine. We have shown it to a number of serious horse clipping owners, clipping for show or other specific purposes. All without exception have spoken highly of its performance, ease of use, power and battery qualities, using either their own blades or the supplied Heiniger blades.
It is with this practical experience of the Saphir and our long respect for Heiniger made clippers and blades that we have every confidence in commending this clipper to all - whether professional or pet owner.

IMPORTANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION
PLEASE NOTE: In the current manual supplied under section 4.1 "Scope of delivery" there is a mis-leading statement suggesting that the clipper is provided with" clipperhead" - i.e. blade.
Both Heiniger and the UK distributor have selected to market and sell the Heiniger "Saphir" in the UK without a blade on the basis that most units would be sold to veterinary customers who would be likely to have their own selection and choice of blades. Peasridge agree with this perception and therefore we to sell the machine WITHOUT a blade and at a price which reflects this!
You will find we do clearly state "NO BLADES" in the "supplied with" information, and also in the text above.

Electric claw and nail clipper.
Product code: 7252
A mains powered fully professional electric high performance claw and nail rotary grinder suitable for small animal use. The nail grinder is lightweight with a powerful rotary motor generating 15000rpm's and is cool running and maintenance free. 9v with CE rating. Made in China.
With most small animals and domestic pets - including cats electric nail grinders can be generally easier to use than traditional type nail clippers for many operators/owners. They can be used to file shape and smooth the nail/claw both quickly and with the maximum efficiency.
The motor tone is relatively low considering no electrical rotary appliance is ever likely to be totally silent, and so for most animals the motor tone will not be a problem. However with some cat, a majority of who do not like any "claw treatment," an introduction to the noise of the motor before use on their claws would seem a sensible step as in the same way of introducing a clipper before use.
Bearing in mind the "filing" head is rotary it is sensible to take precautions to ensure all hair or fur that might be protruding over or beyond the nail/claw is kept free of the fast rotating grinder head! A simple old nylon ladies stocking will act as a good item to use - fit over the foot and allow the claw/nail to protrude through the stocking, but enclosing the hair/fur!
The "Animal Nail File" kit contains all you need to proceed with treatment of your pets nails/claws.The two grinding stones and other accessories are contained in an easily opened compartment located on the underside of the grinder.
The kit includes:
Nail grinder
Cable lead and plug with UK 3 pin adapter - cable lead length - average 12ft 6 inches
Filing drum
60 grit (Coarse) filing bands (3)
100 grit (Fine) filing bands (3)
Small grinding stone
Large grinding stone
Felt Polisher
Replacement parts are available.

+ Impressive traditional German quality derived from outstanding design and engineering skills. Intended to last and give years of reliability. Impeccable trial results in very day situations with normal working procedures.
- The price! Restricted to Favourita blades only. Poor positioning of on/off switch for emergency use
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION :
Essentially the Favorita II but in a cordless version - typically German! - Manufactured to perfection!
For those users of the mains powered Favourita II - now you have the opportunity to go "cordless!"
The downside? Well the price may make you grunt! However you have to realise quality of this class is never likely to be cheap! If you accept the price then brace yourself - the blades are pretty pricy too! Just in case you are thinking about alternate blades to the Aesculap range - forget it this baby only takes Aesculap Favourita blades - which as you may have guessed - can only be used with ........Favourita clippers!
With the blades - like the clippers one should remember you are buying top quality, and quality does count especially when it comes to the steel used for the manufacturer of blades. The Germans over many years have perfected the skills of blade manufacturing way beyond that of others and the Favourita blade is far too often judged on its price rather than the design and quality it delivers.
That said - for many dog groomers the individual cost of the Favourita blades - no matter how superior they are - and that is undisputed - they still represent a hefty investment if like many groomers you need not only a selection of the range but also a number of back up blades.
That aside, - if you are of the mindset to equip yourself with tools of engineering perfection, seek reliability and certainly one of the best available, .............and are willing to pay the price for such quality then you can do no better that purchase either the mains or cordless version of this very fine outstanding machine.
Given normal treatment, disciplined cleaning after use, and attention to routine maintenance, then a Favourita will generally be with you for several decades which is normally a lot longer than many other - far less expensive machines - whose service and repair bills may very soon exceed the initial investment of an Aesculap! A professional business can ill afford it principle tool/s to disrupt the working day with breakdowns - hence the importance in buying right!
Peasridge can speak with some authority on the Aesculap Favorita CL, having been involved with it in the early test mode stages and later with pre production models. During this time we were able to get a number of Favourita "fans" as well as a good few none Favourita users to put our test machine through its paces.
Our testing sources are by no means perfectionists in clipper use or maintenance, but they are good solid run of the mill hard working professional groomers and busy veterinary practices - who will give any machine a fully practical test, probably "not much tender loving care" and most likely oil not as frequently as recommended! They like you seek reliability as well as performance in their working tools!
The Aesculap Favorita CL - as expected (For Aesculap are renowned for meticulous attention to detail and constant testing before any new machine is released for testing let alone issued on to the public market) passed all the testing trials and real life situations with ease and complete reliability. Dog groomers tend to use a far wider range of blade than vets, much of whose work is of a surgical nature rather than husbandry/cosmetic.
Whilst the dog groomer confronts coats of all textures as well as dogs of all degrees of dirt husbandry care, the average veterinary surgeon has to cope with blood and puss - all of which punish blades, performance, and frequently !reliability!" All of which emphasise the importance in making the right selection when choosing a clipper and blades
The "CL" is compact, - not as small as some admittedly, nor as light- but we and a few of our users preferred the slightly larger body and the more "positive" weight- it felt more solid in the hand and gave one a feeling of confidence whether in use on a horse or clipping away on a smaller domestic animal. Rather like a "Mercedes" - Solid built to last! - Nothing ditched to reduce cost!
One is struck by the near perfect balance! So often in the past cordless clipper where noted for their "in-balance" due to a very heavy battery pack in the rear which became very weary to operate for an hour or more as the clip progressed! The "CL" battery power pack is ultra light - weighting a mere 10 grams.
The body casing is in traditional Favourita "red" and like the Favourita II the body is shaped to coincide with the hand grip but is a smooth casing causing us to question whether some users would have preferred a form of "grip" built into the moulding finish to give additional purchase when using the clipper!.
The noise level is low - it has the tone that is unmistakably an Aesculap machine! Soft, mechanically smooth running and an absence of vibration - no doubt brought about by the lower cutting stokes at which the motor powers the blade (Cutting strokes are rated at 2300 per minute) will make it popular with nervous horse and cat owners.
To many with a technical eye this may seem low - however Aesculap engineering have pioneered low stroke without loss of power thus ensuring that as a cordless clipper it is one of the most powerful available!
Blades are traditionally cool running with correct oiling, and in keeping with most machines the drive lever mechanism need checking and possibly replacing annually dependant on frequency of use in order to maintain peak performance!
The battery pack - of which the machine is supplied with two, are incredibly light and compact (10 grams each) They slot with ease into the rear housing and the clipper may be charged with the battery fitted or divorced from the body. Using Li-ion batteries (Model GT201) the DC voltage rating is 7.4v with a charge capacity of approx: 1.2Ah. The charge time is stated as 50 minutes + 5. Clip time 60 minutes.
The Favorita CL is NOT supplied with a blade. The reason is that with such an extensive blade range it would be hard to judge the best blade for individual needs which vary considerably between dog groomers, horse owners, and vets.
The Charger unit is attractively designed, lightweight (0.45kgs) yet of decent size, robust and with two charging ports, one will hold the battery whilst still engaged in the machine - the other is for a detached battery pack.The charger is fitted with small "pads" for anti-slip on any smooth surface. The cord and moulded plug slots into the rear of the charger. Lead and plug - UK 3-pin fitted with 3amp fuse - is roughly 2m/79-inches in length.
The clipper is sold with an attractive newly designed hard plastic carry case of solid construction and designed to last and protect your clipper in transit or storage.
Dimensions when closed are:
Width: 14-inches/35.5cm
Height: 12-inches/30.5cm
Depth: 4 and 3/8th- inches/11cm
Case fastening clips (two) are solid and close securely and with ease!
The inset sleeve has various slots which are functional and the items fit securely! A space is provided for additional blades!

+ Impressive (but as yet untested) - small dual cord/cordless trimmer ideal for trimming use on most breeds, certainly horses and cattle. Seemingly excellent value
Limited blade range. Long re-charge time.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION :
Certainly not manufactured in Europe so possibly made in the Far East but nothing on the packaging confirms this. Distributed in the UK under the "Liveryman" brand, this is however a very innovative, very complete and highly price competitive dual cordless and corded trimmer with many features to commend it!
Normally we view clippers and trimmers made in the Far East - especially China with a high degree of caution mainly on the "quality" score factor, but also availability of parts - not at all easy to obtain in many cases! We do understand parts for this machine are readily available and we shall shortly include it in our parts section.
However on face value and without a huge degree of test history (which we will rectify as we approach the horse clipping season) one has to admit it would seem to represent excellent value as trimmers of this nature go!
The trimmer is compact, small, nice to hold and easy to use in the more difficult areas. It is delightfully light and the slightly curved shaped hand piece feels comfortable and light in the hand. The trimmer motor is fitted with 1000 hour life carbon brushes considered suitable for "heavy" duty use. One should however consider the term "Heavy duty" as befitting a clipper rather than a trimmer. We would not recommend this trimmer for any "heavy duty" work in the fuller sense of the term.
The trimmer's body casing is described as "break resistant" (We can't comment on this fact -as we have not yet tested it on a concrete floor!) The packaging claims it is designed to last for years - Well time will tell!
Described as low noise and low vibration with cool running blades, certainly the noise level is low, perhaps more an element of "barbers hum" typical of a traditional barber human clipper. Certainly not loud or likely to disturb all but the nerviest of animals. Vibration is virtually nonexistent. Cutting strokes are rated at 3000 to 3200 STM
Like several of the small trimmers you have the facility to use it in either mode -cordless, or by plugging the lead of the DC adapter plug into the rear of the trimmer - in mains mode. The lead is some 3m (10ft) in total length providing a decent length for general operational movement. The initial charge is 24 hours. Clip time in cordless mode is said to be 60 minutes, the recharge time 8 hours - which compared to some machines is "ages!"
The machine is supplied with a standard blade leaving a cutting depth of 1.5mm. The blade is fitted with a ceramic cutter which is titanium coated, and which it is claimed gives cool running, extra clip lasting time and provides extreme sharpness (Their description - not ours!) This is a detachable blade with a 46mm cutting face and as such requires no tensioning - this being done at factory level. The blade is easy to fit with the machine either switched off or in running mode.
Maintenance is stated as minimal other than the usual care after use - cleaning and of course regular lubrication of the blade when in operation. Reading the instruction leaflet is well worth your while - before you use the trimmer - as it contains some valuable advice regarding the storage of the machine when not in use from the battery aspect.
A lot is made of the charger unit's ability to "swivel" up to 180 and how it can turn the plug to the wall socket. Frankly how valuable a feature that is, is hard to evaluate! (Hardly a reason for purchasing!) Perhaps for some a feature of some importance, but we suspect of little consequence for many end users! The charger cradle - a compact dome shape is stable when holding the trimmer for charging purposes, and is fitted with four rubber pad to give a non slip effect when on a shiny or slippery surface. A CE rating is shown on the label underneath.
We liked the design of the attachment combs, of which two are supplied with the trimmer, these are innovative in that they are each two side thus offering two cutting depth - 3mm and 6mm and the second comb 9mm and 12mm They attach to the trimmer head clipping really tightly into two countersunk sockets and give a solid feel when in use. Easily inter-changed - useful to have a two in one comb.
As attachment combs go - quiet the best we have seen!

Berger 6.5 inch double bow straight
Product code: 1621
We are delighted to add a larger bladed Berger hand shears ideal for either for general-purpose work such as dagging or for the more specialised tasks involving high quality show trimming - each having a slightly longer blade whilst giving the superb performance quality for which the Berger hand shear is fast becoming renowned!
Of the few makes of shears available on the market today the German "Berger" double bow straight and cranked hand shear are superbly crafted tool and probably today one of the best makes you can buy. Made by a small steel forging business from Solingen steel - an area famous for making many forms of knives, scissors and a raft of other steel and cutting items, one is immediately struck by the quality of the blades and more importantly the "finish. You don't need to be an expert on steel to realise this is the real stuff as of yester year!
The German forged double bow has all the strength Burgon & Ball shears once used to have a decade or more ago , solid firm and with plenty of spring. Few of these German hand shears will ever require re setting unlike the current B & B ones do! The blade edge is wide and full with a very slight curve as opposed to being totally flat - thus ensuring a good "ride" of both blade edges - and a resulting perfect cutting edge!
Another excellent feature is unlike many shears which have highly shiny steel blades - the first time they encounter rust - unless you are exceptionally disciplined (let face not all of us are!) corrosion sets in and from that day on blade sharpening. Berger shears are factory coated with a minimal steel face to rust.
Comparing the blades with those of B&B and a few other makes available, one get the immediate impression the German Berger shear use a heavier gauge of steel - hence the overall quality. Blades are ground to a perfect finished angle for a good glide, and are honed to give a razor sharp cut. The blade glide is perfection, as one would expect from quality "Solingen" German engineering. Both blades glide together with a ring of "steel on steel" - a quality vital in all shears but even more important in a good "show shear" Good blades must have that sound!
The overall length is 13.20-inches/22.20cm and blade trimming length 6.5-inches/16.5cm.
The double bow straight hand shear handles well as a show trimming shear, feels good in the hand, and is nicely balanced at a weight of 0.35kg - one would feel comfortable in both the hand and wrist even after a prolonged trimming session.
For those farmers who like a larger hand shear - whether used as a dagging, or general purpose tool it will prove highly adaptable and is ideal also for the many upland hill breeds as well as the many larger bred sheep! Also a good shear for those involved using sheep shears for industrial and construction purposes.
We have no hesitation is saying if you appreciate and prefer a really good quality hand shear, whether you are show trimming or just dagging "Berger shears" have to command your serious consideration. Forget the fact they may cost a fraction more, - it always pays to pay slightly more for quality!
As one who both remembers and used the fine quality of shears of 40/60 years or so ago, these strongly resemble those well made instruments!

Product code: 1622

It feels good in the hand, - certainly give confidence and is nicely balanced at a weight of 0.35kg - one would feel comfortable in both the hand and wrist even after a prolonged trimming session.
For those farmers who like a larger hand shear - whatever the intended use - it will prove highly adaptable and is ideal also for the many upland hill breeds as well as the many larger bred sheep! Also a good "tool" for those involved using sheep shears for industrial and construction purposes.

As one who both remembers and used the fine quality of shears of 40/60 years or so ago, these strongly resemble those well made instruments - in those day we brought in to the ring a "matching" pen of five in wool yearlings - a real test of skill both of the trimmer and the shears!

+ A smooth running machine attractive light duty horse clipper from a manufacturer with history for reliable engineering and innovative design features!
- Whilst in many respect a well manufactured machine there are several aspect of the design we find disappointing.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
We have to report we were extremely surprised and disappointed to not have been provided with a production model for a physical and practical test.
Our normal practice is to apply a machine to a full body clipping test on an actual horse -n this case s a grey cob - that both has a thick and testing coat and a nervous tendency toward clippers. However the manufacturer's UK distributor for reasons best known to themselves were unable to offer us a production model which they would allow to be used for a practical test!
Hence we are unable to provide Internet viewers with any reliable practical test information, and therefore we do not feel we can in any way mislead viewers or possible buyers with any form of Peasridge recommendation nor do we feel able to apply a Peasridge "Star" rating on a product which we have not for whatever reason been allow to test in our normal fashion.
As the vast majority of the world's clipper manufacturers are extremely keen to ensure Peasridge readily has production models to test, bearing in mind the wide exposure our website with over half a million viewers per month visiting the site via the Internet - we find the reluctance in this case………"strange!"
A visual inspection was therefore all we could carry out - and the following comments are offered for your guidance.
The machine displays the all usual German high quality of engineering technology associated with Liscop machines, and has a number of innovative features including a permanent magnet motor with a high torque, lightweight aluminium alloy head housing, a self lubricating drive system, well designed aeration system for both the motor and clipping head (which benefits the blades of course) plus maintaining the "Oscillating" cutter yoke system which contributes to successfully eliminating vibration!
The ergonomically designed hand piece and especially the slim hand grip is featured strongly in the clipper publicity!
However there are a number of aspect we do not find that accommodating in a real life situation clipping horse especially - these are...............
The hand grip - yes slim and shaped for the smaller hand - however we felt the shortness of the actual slim part of the hand grip was less than accommodating to anyone with a medium or larger sized hand, and your operating hand was "pushed" on to the bulkier part of the handpiece in order to be comfortable. Now different people may experience different effect s - but before you rush out to purchase - we do recommend a few minutes is spent try one for yourself and seeing if it suits you - not in the first few minutes but imaging holding and using it for an hour plus!"
The Clipper head follows the pattern and shape of certain previous models - we find the head design strangely cumbersome and ungainly for a horse/cattle machine - it bears more the resemblance of a sheep shearing machine head! Perhaps a question of preference? You may find it ungainly if you have been using a more convention head style.
The noise level is moderate at a level count of 2+ indicating a smooth running semi low tone, but it has to be added that the motor of the machine we inspected whilst highly smooth did emitted a rather high pitched tone which some animals may fine disturbing. Even with tension adjustment and frequent oiling the tone persisted.
A break with the conventional method of securing the blades to the clipper head has been made by Liscop. Normal screwdriver tightened blade screws are replace with "Allen key" locking nuts. One the face of it there are perhaps merits for adopting such a system, however we have to consider the practical application - if lost a 4mm Allen key may prove a lot more difficult to find in a stable yard compared to an ordinary every day screwdriver! Wise perhaps to carry a spare!
LISCOP BLADE RANGE:
Blade set 102 3mm standard
Blade set 122 2mm close
Blade set 1253 0.5mm very fine
Blade set 106 3mm coarse

IMPORTANT - Please note:
The electrical machines we offer for sale are principally for use with the electrical supply system operation in the UK namely 240volt.
This machine is there equipped with a 240 motor and component parts and will have a supporting identification plate on the casing. In addition to working on the UK electrical system it can be used on any European 220/240 volt system.
However it is supplied with a UK 3-pin plug and therefore will need an appropriate "adaptor" plug into which the UK 3-pin will fit. Whilst these are not readily available to us they can be easily obtained at your local electrical outlet.
Customers outside of the UK and European Countries should check their electrical supply rating and seek professional advice from a qualified electrician.
USA Customers should note that with a national 110-volt electrical supply system 240-volt products will need specialist converter equipment and may still not work. It is recommended that you seek professional advice from a qualified electrician before making a purchase.
