That new Knipex hoof nipper was $180 and worth every penny so far

I finally broke down last month and bought the new Knipex hoof nippers after my old ones started slipping on the catch. They were $180 at the supply house near Lexington, which hurt at first. But I've used them on about 12 horses now and the cut is so clean compared to my old pair. No more having to go back and clean up the edges with the rasp. The handle grip is better too, my hand doesn't cramp up after a long day. I'm curious if anyone else has tried these or if there's another brand that holds up just as well for less money.

Bet they won't last as long as the old ones did though.

My grandfather's Kenmore washing machine from 1987 finally died last year. That thing ran for 35 years without major issues. Newer stuff just doesn't have that kind of build quality. They make everything with cheap plastic now, not like the old metal parts. Those old machines were built to last, not to be replaced every five years.

Honestly I used to buy new ones but damn that changed my mind.
