Product Information
Full details
The Smart Grooming Safety Scissors are an essential tool for horse owners and professional grooms who require precision and safety during routine maintenance. These 6.5-inch scissors are perfect for tackling fiddly areas like the bridle path, inside of ears, and the back of legs without the risk of accidental pokes. While they excel at fine trimming, they are not intended for heavy-duty shearing of thick, matted hair, which may require clippers.

FAQs
Can I use these scissors on other animals?
While designed for horses, they are suitable for any precise trimming task on animals, provided the rounded tips are appropriate for the area being groomed.
Are these scissors left-handed or right-handed?
These are standard professional grooming scissors designed for right-handed use.
What is the length of the blades?
The scissors measure 6.5 inches in total length, which includes both the blade and handle portions.
Are the blades serrated?
No, these scissors feature straight, sharp blades for a clean, precise cut rather than a serrated grip.
How should I disinfect the scissors?
You can use a standard grooming tool disinfectant spray or an alcohol-based wipe; ensure you dry them thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent rust.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open
Apply a single drop of light machine oil to the pivot screw and work the blades back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Blades are not cutting hair cleanly
Check the blades for sticky residue or debris buildup; wipe clean. If they remain dull, they may require professional sharpening.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Smart Grooming Safety Scissors; they are ready for use immediately out of the package. To maintain the life of your scissors, always wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth after use to remove sweat, hair, and dust. Avoid cutting through anything other than horse hair, as cutting abrasive materials like wire or plastic will dull the blades quickly. If the pivot screw becomes loose, a slight adjustment with an appropriately sized screwdriver can restore the tension. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup on the metal.
