ANIMAL GROOMING TOOLS

We understand how difficult it is to find a sharpening company you can trust to do the best for your scissors and clipper blades, not to mention being without them for days on end. 

When sharpening clipper blades, we like to see the clipper machine at the same time.  As part of our service, we check the clippers for obvious defaults like broken, worn or missing visible parts and remove hair/fur blocking the filters to allow better airflow. 

​Once the blades have been sharpened, they are fitted to your machine and tested, so you can have confidence knowing they will work when you start clipping. 
Looking after the health of your hands is essential, especially if you are a full-time groomer.  Using sharp, balanced scissors reduces unnecessary strain on the hand muscles.  We are happy to show you how to test them for sharpness and also how to balance them.  Regularly balancing your scissors maintains their performance, protects the cutting edges and most importantly, safeguards the health of your hands. 
​
So some of our frequently asked questions are: ​

How much does it cost?

The price is the same whether your scissors are straight blades, thinners, chunkers, texturisers, blenders or lefties.
