FOR SHEARERS
A new handpiece for shearing sheep, designed & refined to make shearers smile.
Shearing sheep has not changed in over 120 years. I just thought there must be a better way that is safer for both the sheep and the shearer, and easier, simpler, a pleasure to hold onto, a novice can learn and easily improved if needed.
The present handpiece is old technology, it has been around since 1890. Over time, there has been small changes (electric overhead gear, wider comb, etc), but basically still the same.
They get hot, are dangerous if not operated professionally and need continual sharpening of the combs & cutters. With the 0.5 hp motor needed to drive the handpiece, there is a lot of inbuilt energy that can do a lot of damage to both sheep & shearer.
Not with the Shepherd Shearer. Battery operated, innovative and with a unique cutting system, no need for ongoing grinding of comb & cutters. Needing less energy to operate, it is quieter, easier to use, greatly reducing the chance of harming either the sheep or the shearer.
Comes with own toolbox
The timber toolbox houses all your shearing needs. Coated with lanoline (all sheep will tell you how good lanoline is), big space inside and felt lined for care.
Plastic Body
The handpiece is made from hardened plastic, light but durable. The battery case is also plastic, fitting in nicely to the handpiece for easy operation.
Forever Cutting
The unique cutting mechanism allows continual cutting with minimal down time in changing disc that do the actual cutting. A smooth operating machine.
Shepherd Shearer handpieces are safer for the sheep and safer for the shearer.
This handpiece does not lock up and does not get hot. The comb & cutter do not require grinding, and then there is no annoying down tube & no overhead gear.
If you struggle with any of the above, I understand your pain and feel for you.
After working in shearing sheds in my 20’s and visiting many shearing sheds in my working life, I have committed the last 6 years of Research & Development, creating a new hand piece that now works.
So buy this hand piece, start using it, and have a happier time in the shearing shed.
If you are struggling with the present handpiece, purchasing ‘Shepherd Shearer’ handpiece is the right decision.
Not purchasing this handpiece leaves you with the present handpiece, stuck in a downward spiral of less people wanting to work with you.
When you purchase ‘Shepherd Shearer’, you are part of the future. You can show the next wool cocky how committed you are to shearing his / her sheep with safety, using a ‘Shepherd Shearer’ hand piece.
