+ New - replacement for the Showman which has stood the test of time. Good lightweight batteries with excellent clip time. Should be popular.
- Expensive, and a bit on the noisy side which seems to be a hallmark of Lister clippers. Long re-charge period.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
An attractive well-engineered compact battery powered horse or cattle clipper, which is bound to have a lot of appeal for those who prefer not to have trailing cables.
There are two "pack" versions of the Liberty available - one the "Popular Pack" comprises of the clipper with battery and charger. The alternative choice - the Liberty Yard pack, is supplied with the clipper, the battery pack with charger and a mains cord adapter which gives you the option of using the machine plugged into the main power supply.
The clipper is refreshing lightweight, but unfortunately in keeping with so many Lister machines rather noisy, which may make it not so popular with owners of nervous animals. This is a great shame as they are often the very customers for such a battery-operated clipper. On/off switch well positioned for quick reaction use in an emergency
10x1.2v nickel metal hydride cells give the battery a clip time of up to 2.5 hours. However the published normal recharge time is between 11 and 13hours. (Bit of an "over night" job!) The ultra light battery pack is supplied with a charger lead and plug. The charger can be fitted with interchangeable plugs for different overseas countries. As an optional extra, 12v battery leads can be obtained offering operators the choice to run the clipper off a standard vehicle battery.
Whilst you cannot fit a sheep head on this machine, for those with a few sheep wishing to dag or even do the odd full shear then try fitting the Wizard sheep blade. Like wise with a few dirty cattle to clean up for shedding or slaughter the cattle wizard blade will suit perfectly.
Should prove extremely popular with dairy farmers due to the total safety factor, when used in milking parlours. The machine has good manoeuvrability.

+ Instantly impressive & innovative single speed cordless clipper ideal for the nervous horse owner, or mobile dog groomer.
- Limitation of choice of wide blades for horses. Rear positioned on/off switch.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
An evolution of the already popular dog clipper - the Moser Max 45, but in a cordless type mode, with increased power and marketed under the Moser "Horseline" range
This concept of a really lightweight and remarkably powerful cordless machine will have an immediate attraction to many horse owners, especially those with nervous animals.
Moser - noted for prestigious German quality, have excelled in producing an innovative, lightweight and powerful battery pack intended to be worn off a waist belt or slipped into a coat pocket. With a two an a half hour clip time, and the facility of "detachable" blades - thus removing the necessity to tension - this machine will appeal to many.
With many features identical to the already popular Max 45 the clipper encompasses the attractive style of the shaped handpiece, giving a combination of balance and lightness plus all the superior qualities associated with a German built product. The noise level and vibration are especially low, and it has inherited the cool running features of all Moser machines.
The newly launched Cera ceramic coated blade with a longer clipping life is a welcomed introduction, however 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 can 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. Hence speed is not essential.
If this is not the case then clearly you should not be using the "Avalon" 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".
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.

A RECENT CUSTOMER'S COMMENTS AFTER PURCHASING A MOSER "AVALON" !
I thought you would like to know that the clippers I ordered on Tuesday have proved to be a great success.
At the beginning of the week I attempted to clip a very nervous horse with my old Lister clippers - it took nearly 2 hours and a lot of gentle persuasion to achieve a small gullet clip!
I managed to complete a trace clip today in 45 minutes with my new 'Avalon' clippers - he showed no resistance to the noise or feel of the clippers, and only slightly shied away once when I swapped sides.
The clippers are very easy to use, and having followed your advice, I took my time over the job, using the short strokes as recommended.
Please pass my thanks to the gentleman that advised me on these clippers - I didn't take his name but his help was greatly appreciated,
F W of Welshpool. - 13/10/2006

+ One of the few cordless professional clippers with two batteries. Fast re-charge time. Very compact unit!
- In many outlets only sold with one battery! Gets a touch expensive when you start to buy extras!!
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:
The Oster Power Pro Mk2 certainly has a role for use on the nervous horse - small, nice to handle, compact and with low noise level plus relative low vibration.
We would recommend for full body horse clipping the Moser wide blade 2.3mm blade as one of the better blades for the many and various textures of coats likely to be experienced rather than the Oster matching wide blade.
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.
Introduced as the successor to the popular "green" bodied Mk 1 Oster Power pro (A few other colours existed as well) the clipper head and hand grip shape basically remains unchanged other than for the casing covering which has been clad with a pleasant soft "non slip" material with a rubberise feel. The new battery attachment is however slimmer and now follows the shape of the clipper. One instantly notices the improved balance the new styled battery affords compared to the rather poorly balance earlier Mk 1 model!
Clipper and battery are claimed to be around 15% lighter than the earlier model! Oster state that the clipper drive lever delivers a more powerful sweep as a result of being driven by a slightly more powerful motor - thus it is claimed the Mk2 clipper gives a greater and superior cutting performance! The benefit of this would presumably be particularly noticeable when clipping for example, a horse using a wide detachable blade.
Unlike the way it is normally supplied in the UK, we offer the Oster Power Pro complete with TWO batteries (In the US it is also sold with two batteries for continuous clipping!) We feel customers will require the same - continuous clipping facility - rather than have the added expense of purchasing an additional battery at the time of purchase or later!
Considering Oster still supply their mains powered A5 clippers in boxes, it is refreshing, to see a case of such quality being supplied with their cordless machine! The clipper is beautifully packaged in a spacious lightweight aluminium case - weighing fully loaded - clipper battery and accessories - a mere 2.4kg (if you buy from Peasridge due to the fact it is then supplied with not one but two batteries!) Carefully padded with foam cut out compartments (unlikely these will last long with normal use but they look good when new!) - both clipper and the entire accessories are stored safely. All very nicely designed and laid out!
Case dimension:
Height: Less than 12-inches/30cm allowing for the folded handle and locking catches
Length: Just over 11-inches/28.3cm
Depth: 4.75-inches/12cm
Un laden weight: approx 1.8kgs
The battery unit is improved with the introduction of the new type of NIMH battery units.
For those who want to know…………. the nickel-metal hydride battery, abbreviated NiMH, is a type of rechargeable or storage battery similar to another well know battery type the "Nickel-cadmium" (NiCd) but using a hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode instead of cadmium. As in NiCd batteries, the positive electrode is nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd. However, compared to the lithium-ion battery the volumetric energy density is lower and self-discharge is higher.
One useful feature of these batteries is they do not have the annoying memory feature as often common with some earlier types of batteries, but you will need to recharge and discharge these batteries several times before they reaches their "optimum" performance when first purchased! Also if the battery is not used for a period of time, or has been stored away unused re-charging will again be necessary.
Whilst the manufacturer claims the battery delivers "state of the art intelligence charging to maximum its working life, they do add that every few months if you are not a regular user you should switch on (remover the blade first) and run the clipper until the battery is fully discharged. Then recharge accordingly. This could well apply to horse owners, who engage in seasonal clipping with a long spell of in-action in between. If you are the typical busy dog groomer or veterinarian and use a cordless machine, well you probably need not bother!
When fully discharged the normal recharge time for the battery is between 50 and 60 minutes. You can check the running status of your battery at any time by placing it in the slot provided on the charger and observing the LED light in the centre.
LED light on the front alerts you to the state of play……….
Red light continuous - indicates re-charging is required.
Green light continuous - indicates the clipper now ready for use
Red blinking light - You need to invest in a new battery - Red light says - "kaput"
The charger is far more compact and smaller than the old black charger of the previous model, and the two slots for spare blades have been done away with! Of course this is all about a single battery so only one recharging slot also!
There is a connection point provided on the rear on the charger for a plug to power the recharge unit off any 12v supply such as in a vehicle. This is not currently available in the UK but expected shortly when it will be available an optional extra - at extra cost!
A slot in the groove of the charger assists in ensuring the battery is correctly offered into the slot for recharging - so no fear of getting it incorrect! So easy you could do it in the dark!
As with the previous Mk1 model you can re-charge with the clipper handpiece attached to the battery or just the battery on its own. One small but useful as well as thoughtful addition to the charger unit is that a set of four tiny suction pad feet have been added to the underside of the charger to ensure it stays put and does not slip off a shelf or work surface!
Many professionals will buy it and make a good choice in the present market situation!
