100% Positive ICAR nipper feedback last year.
ICAR Race Track Nippers have a smaller head and a shorter distance from the bolt to the cutting edge than ICAR Classic Nippers. Less leverage is required to cut, making them easier and speedier to close. Made of the highest quality Italian tool steel and drop forged in Italy. These hoof nippers have a long-lived cutting edge and optimized leverage for better cuts with less force.
THE ICAR 12" Race is mechanically nearly identical to the GE 12" Easy Nippers, which is GE's foal nipper. Note that ICAR also makes an ICAR 10" one-handed (spring - auto reopening) foal nipper.
ICAR is a family-run company founded in 1970 in Italy, with roots going back even further. The company was built on gaining the trust of the best industry professionals. Blending experience with a focus on high-quality hot forging products, and undoubted reliability.
Features:
Race & Mid-Size ICAR nippers have a 20 mm deep bite. (20% less than the ICAR 15" & 16", which makes their bite smaller, but still easy to close with 14" handles /'reins').
Size Available:
Race Nippers have a slightly narrower and shallower bite than their other nippers; optimizing the leverage mechanics (the trade off is a slightly smaller bite).
Other ICAR Nippers available:
ICAR 14" Mid-Size Classic Hoof Nippers (most like a GE 14" Classic / Easy),
ICAR 12" Race Track (popular for pony's & mini's),
and their SMITH nippers (largest jaws);
ICAR 10" FOAL Hoof Nipper (one-handed /springed)
ICAR Half Round Hoof /Sole Nipper (14" & 12")
REBUILD/ SHARPEN:Do you have an old pair of Quality Nippers that don't get the job done anymore? Drop your dull Nippers off for our FULL REBUILD or REFRESH Services. If the rivet is worn out (loose and sloppy) then we'll send them away for a rebuild, otherwise, we can sharpen them in-house for you.
