Anyone know if these are any good?
At €13.99, might be worth a punt.

Do you have any more info? Picture?

Do you mean a nail clipper or a hair clipper? With hair clippers (for grooming) you tend to get what you pay for. A good clippers will set you back over 200 quid so I wouldn't put much faith in a 14 euro one.

If its a nail clippers just make sure its sharp enough to cut the nail rather than crushing it which will cause splintering.

Agree. Decent clippers are expensive. I have several. The cheap ones won't last very long.

Hair clippers for 2 small dogs.
Just wondering would you get a few cuts for bothh dogs out of it?

do you know how to groom? I have seen people cut dog's open with clippers so be careful. You'd pay a lot more than the price of a groom to get a lacerated wound stitched!

You might get a few cut's out of it but how smooth it would be, I couldn't say. If you know what your doing then the worst you'll end up with is a bad cut and down 13 quid so if you have the money to spare give it a shot.

Let us know how it is if you try it.

Not new to grooming.
Just gone through loads of dearer clippers.
Ones for about €70.
Might be worth a go for the price.

It might be, but I could see it blunting after the first cut or 2.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
I'll give them a go anyway I think, just to see how good/bad they are.

Decent clippers would set you back over €200 euro and then there is extra for the blades

Maybe if you do go to a groomer, then these could be used for a tidy-up now & again e.g. around the face, paws, etc.

Agree that a good set of clippers are expensive but well worth it in the long run.

I started off with a cheap set and I just stressed the dogs out. Never again.

I prefer to spend the money once and have done with it. I've got clippers that cost me £120. Blades are another £35-40 depending on where got, grade and finish. I've got about £200 worth of clipper blades alone. Add to that the cost of sharpening, clipper oil and clipper wash, it does add up.

But - it's saved me loads of dosh in the long run, so it's money well spent. I have a furball baby who needs to be clipped at least monthly! I'm just about to clip him now...
