Hand Shears

Are you ready for a paradigm shift in shearing? I have been hand shearing since the early 80's and have used many different brands of hand shears these Hand shears are the absolute best tool for the job!  At 10 ounces they are light and extremely easy to use. The 6" carbon steel blades are extremely sharp and so easy to use it feels like you are using a much shorter blade. And the very best news... they are largely self sharpening!

"Thank you for sending the 'new style' hand shears so promptly. They are excellent. I certainly put them to the test. I had to shear a very tall 13 year old gelding llama. He had never been shorn before and his coat was completely felted and extremely thick. Nothing like having the right tools for the job, I was able to complete the job in about 40 minutes and the fleece weighed in at just over 3 kilos. The llama was very tolerant of the process, I followed Marty's method of shearing as demonstrated in the Wonderful World of Lama Wool, allowing the llama to move around having the lead attached to the nearside of the halter and placing the line over my arms behind me. As her DVD shows the animal settled very well and stood for me." Jane Richardson

Toenail Nippers

Many toenail nippers are too big and awkward to accommodate a small hand. These nippers are sturdy enough to do the job but work with smaller hands too. These are the ideal nippers for trimming toenails on the ground. Toenail trimming techniques are demonstrated in both the Teaching Your Llama to Pack and the Camelid Handling Secrets videos and explained in detail in The Camelid Companion.

Holster

Nothing is more frustrating than to have your animal’s foot right where you want it only to have your nippers just out of reach. Buy a holster with your nippers, get a discount and always have them right where you need.
ITEM ENHANCEMENT! Thanks to Heather Magoon, a clever clinic participant, the holster is now designed so that it can be worn on either the belt or the leg. Wear your holster on your leg and not only will your nippers be right where you need them, but you can get at them a whole lot easier.

Boar Bristle Brush

Sturdy and useful, this brush is the perfect tool to groom your llama or alpaca. The boar bristle brush will remove debris without pulling on the fleece, so it will not irritate your animal. He will therefore be easier to groom and will not develop undesirable behaviors associated with unpleasant grooming. This is a very high-quality genuine boar bristle brush with nylon stiffeners and a wooden handle. Brushes that look like this but have plastic handles and plastic bristles do not work as well.
