FAQs About Sheep Shears and Clippers

What are the best sheep shears if I’m just starting out?

If you're new to shearing, the Masterclip HD Roamer is a great choice. It’s lightweight, quiet, and comes with everything you need right out of the box — including two batteries and a carry case.

Should I go for cordless or mains-powered clippers?

It really depends on how and where you’ll be shearing. Cordless clippers give you more freedom to move around and are great for small flocks or outdoor use. If you’re doing lots of shearing in one place, mains-powered clippers will give you nonstop power.

How often do I need to sharpen or replace the blades?

If you're using your shears regularly, it's a good idea to sharpen the blades every 5–10 hours of use. Always keep a spare set from our blades and accessories collection just in case.

Can I use these shears on goats or alpacas too?

Yes, many of our clippers work well on goats and alpacas too. Just check the product details to make sure they’re suitable for your animal’s coat.

Can I shear wet sheep?

We wouldn’t recommend it. Shearing wet wool can clog the blades and damage your clippers. Always make sure your sheep are dry before you start.

What kind of maintenance do the clippers need?

Just a bit of regular care goes a long way. After each use, clean out any wool, wipe them down, and add a bit of oil to the blades. You can follow our maintenance guide for step-by-step instructions.

Do the shears come with a warranty?

Yes — every pair of Masterclip shears comes with a 2-year warranty and UK-based support, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong.

Are the clippers noisy?

Not really. Our cordless models like the HD Roamer are designed to be nice and quiet — ideal if your animals are a bit nervous. Mains-powered clippers are slightly louder but more powerful.
