Great for in-between farrier appointments
I picked these up to keep in my trailer for those instances where I’m nearing the end of a trim cycle with my barefoot horses, and I need to back up their toes slightly to fit in their boots.I like the smaller size, especially for training with my yearling filly. They’re easy to handle and offer just the right amount of “bite” to easily nip her toes.Overall, I really like these and every owner should have a set of farrier tools to keep on hand.

Functional, multipurpose
While I don’t have horses, I saw the functionality of this tool… and I can verify that it can be used for a number of different things. It has decent weight and feels to be of good quality. The longer handles make it easy to wield, and it nips well — clean cuts without having to use much force. It opens/closes smoothly and is indeed about 10 inches in length. With various different options, it is a very functional and multipurpose tool.

Decent short handled nippers for something with shorter legbase
Medium/good quality . I compared these to my GE racetrack nippers . The size is a few inches shorter down the handles . Jaw is about equal. Opening diameter is far less (harder to get those wider cuts) open and close fairly easy but itâs close to being sticky open and close . Definitely recommend oiling and not allowing to rust . Good short handled nippers cut hoof well. Shiny nippers are the reviewed item patina set is my ge racetracks .

Easier To Handle Than Standard Nippers
These 10-inch hoof nippers are the perfect option for trimming our miniature muleâs hooves between regular farrier visits. They fit my hands better than standard nippers, which makes them easier to handle and control. The build feels solid and well-made.I also appreciate the storage case that comes with themâit keeps the blades protected and makes it easy to store them safely when not in use. Overall, a great tool for minis.

Good quality multipurpose tool
I knew when I saw this tool I wanted it, I have the larger horseshoe tool made by this same company and Iâm very pleased with the overall quality and the endless uses for it. I realize that this is sold as an equine farrier tool, but trust me, there is unlimited uses for it in any trade and is just a good tool to have in the workmanâs arsenal. It is very well made, looks good and feels good in the hand. It is finished in a brushed nickel type manner and opens and closes with ease, easily managed with one hand. The nipping end is sharpened to the same as a pair of tweezers, allowing one to grip things that are flat against the surface and with the strength and length of the handles, there is enough leverage to pull just about anything out of your way.Even though the steel is a thick, strong, quality metal, the feel to the hand is comfortable and smooth, I want to say a soft feel, just easy to grip. You really canât go wrong with this tool, either if youâre working on a farm animal or on a construction site, youâll have a tool you can feel confident with and almost indestructible tool to work with. Well worth the money and will save you time and aggravation with countless projects. A tool to keep for life.

Perfect for a pony
I have a small pony and my standard size nippers always poked her in the side when trimming her feet.These short handled work out great.Nice quality and smooth operation.

Heavy duty
Theses are pretty heavy duty! We kept having to borrow a pair as our local store was sold out each time we went to look. Im glad we found these as they are exactly what we needed! They work well and come slightly oiled. They are heavy (in a good way) and seems like they will hold up well for awhile. Very happy with these!
