Corded Clipper: Power That Does Not Fade
When twenty, fifty or a hundred sheep are queuing up, what decides the day is not peak power but stamina. A mains powered machine draws its strength from the socket and shears the last animal as cleanly as the first. For that we stock corded clippers from 200 to 400 watts as well as shearing plants with a flexible drive shaft from Heiniger, Kerbl, Aesculap, Wahl and Wellington.
Watts, fleece and what the number really says
The wattage mainly tells you how much reserve the motor has when the fleece is dense, matted or damp. For a few hobby animals and normal wool, 200 watts is enough, as delivered by the Heiniger XPERT 1-Speed or the light Kerbl FarmClipper4. Once the fleece gets heavy you are better off with more power: the Heiniger XPERT 2-Speed brings 250 watts, the Wahl Fusion 360 watts and the Kerbl Constanta4 400 watts. More watts usually means more weight in the hand as well, and you notice that by the third animal at the latest. So pick the power that matches your flock rather than the biggest number on the shelf.
Single speed, multi speed or straight to the shearing plant
A single speed machine runs at a fixed speed, is simply built and correspondingly robust, like the Heiniger ONE at 300 watts. Multi speed machines can be matched to the wool instead: the Heiniger EVO runs at three speeds, and the XPERT 2-Speed and the Wahl Fusion offer two settings. Anyone shearing very large numbers does best with a shearing plant. There the motor hangs on a frame or the wall and drives the handpiece through a flexible shaft, as on the Wellington Worm-Drive. Only the light handpiece then sits in your hand, and it is available separately as a spare. Classics such as the Aesculap Econom II and the Econom NOVA round off the range.
Frequently asked questions
Cable or battery?
With a cable the power stays the same right through the shearing and there is no charging break. A cordless machine pays off away from the socket.
How many watts do I need?
For a few animals 200 watts is enough. With dense or matted fleece and larger numbers, 300 to 400 watts is the far calmer choice.
When is a shearing plant worth it?
With large numbers. The motor hangs separately, only the light handpiece stays in your hand, and that spares arm and shoulder noticeably.
Mains Powered Shearing, From a Few Animals to a Large Flock
Twelve machines stand ready here, and the decision comes down to three questions: how many animals you shear, how dense the wool is and how long you hold the machine in your hand at a stretch. For small numbers and normal fleece, 200 watts is enough, for example with the Heiniger XPERT 1-Speed or the light Kerbl FarmClipper4. Once the fleece gets heavier, the Heiniger XPERT 2-Speed at 250 watts, the Wahl Fusion at 360 watts or the Kerbl Constanta4 at 400 watts give you the reserve you need. Single speed machines such as the Heiniger ONE run at a fixed speed, while the three speed Heiniger EVO can be matched to the wool. With large flocks a shearing plant like the Wellington Worm-Drive takes weight off you, because the motor hangs separately and only the handpiece moves with you.
