| Premier's Shears vs. Others |
| While developing our machines, we conducted
evaluations of the machines available. We noted "hard" data like length;
weight; grip; blade/cutter cycle speed under varying resistances; and
cost. We also paid attention to subjective points—balance; feel; sound;
heating of head and motor; ease of installation of blades/combs/cutters.
And we compared how they actually cut wool and hair. Remember that no
unit (including our own) is perfect. All have strengths and weaknesses.
Regarding the speed results: The normal "load" while actually clipping
hair, wool or mohair will be |
somewhere between the middle & high. Our "zero load”
setting was at less than normal blade or cutter tension. Expect your
results to vary from these in response to: voltage differences (from
105v – 125v); variations between individual units; measuring instrument
variations. Differences of less than 5% are not significant. Our lab
results were similar to our in-field observations. We were better able
to compare Lister and Premier clippers because a common set of blades,
spring and tension system could be used—enabling a common test protocol.

Some valuable tips on Shearers:
- Heiniger makes the Andis handpiece as a “private label” product and the specs are the same.
- The differences between the Heiniger/Andis and the Premier are pretty significant.
- Both have pros and cons:
Heiniger/Andis Premier
More power Lighter
Quieter
Smaller circumference on the hand grip
Shorter length for more maneuverability
More convenient on/off switch location
- I use both machines in my shearing practice
- I like the Premier better for the above reasons
- However the Heiniger/Andis will power through comb tensioning that isn’t quite right and debris under the cutter that requires an extra crank on the tension nut (not recommended)
- Therefore I find that new shearers struggle a bit more with the Premier because it is less forgiving when the set up isn’t just right.
- When the comb and cutter are tensioned properly the Premier can keep up with a very fast pace of shearing.
- The Beiyuan Handpiece is a pro product for use w/ a hanging power plant.
- The Beiyuan line is pro tested and used by many shearers in big sheep markets like Australia and New Zealand.
- Figure 12-15 sharpenings per comb or cutter.
Some tips for cria shearing:
- Cria fleece is fine as you know, therefore fresh, sharp gear and a bit of extra tension is in order
- Also because of the fineness, the fleece needs to be as dry as possible to prevent it from “mushing” between the comb and cutter
- I shoot for a 9-11am window after any morning dampness has dried and before they get sweaty from the summer heat
- Any chasing of the cria may cause just enough sweating to make the cria fleeces harder to shear
A couple of tips for reducing the chance of the dam rejecting the cria:
- I like to let mom watch right over my shoulder or very close by
- I use limited amounts of oil to reduce the chance of the cria smelling really differently
- I don’t shear much of the tail to again reduce the impact on the mom’s perception of the baby’s smell
Please call me with any questions or for advice. 866-999-AVA1 (2821)
