Leather Shears / Hoof Pad Shears – Precise, Durable, and Handy
Leather or grip shears are the ideal tool for cutting both leather and plastic hoof pads. With their robust design and sharp blades, these shears allow for clean, controlled cuts – even through thicker pieces of leather or the multifuncional cushioning pad.
A major advantage of a grip shears is definitely the opening spring , as it prevents the shears from getting stuck in the material after cutting. Without an opening spring, you'd often have to manually pry the shears open – the spring makes the work easier and less fatiguing.
The Grip Shears for Cutting Cushioning Pads
If you mainly plan to use the grip shears for cuttingthe multifuncional cushioning pad, we recommend the ICAR version. In our opinion, they are especially well-suited for this material and allow for larger, more efficient cuts. The grip shears from Fifpe can also be used for this purpose but require smaller, more frequent cuts, making the process a bit more labor-intensive.
The ICAR Leather Shears
With an overall length of about 23 cm and a cutting length of about 6 cm, the shears fit comfortably in the hand and easily fit in your tool or grooming box. ICAR has also ensured safe storage with a practical locking hook.
Left-Handed Hoof Pad Shears
The ICAR leather shears are available in both right-handed and left-handed versions. Due to low demand, we don't always have the left-handed model in stock – but we're happy to order it for you. Please send us a short email if you need left-handed shears.
The Fifpe Model
In addition to the ICAR version with red handle covering, we also carry the slightly more affordable model with black-coated handles from Fifpe in our assortment . If you primarily need the grip shears for cutting padding plates, we recommend the ICAR version.
All-Purpose Shears for Stable and Farrier Use
In our view, these shears are a solid and long-term investment , as they can do far more than just cut leather hoof pads and glue-on tabs. We see them as durable and precise all-purpose shears for daily stable and farrier use – and they've even proven their worth outside the stable, as some even use the ICAR shears as poultry shears.
Leather Shears in Daily Stable and Farrier Use – Possible Applications
Primarily, the leather / hoof pad shears from ICAR are used for cutting leather soles and grips.
Our Protective Insoles – the shock absorbing hoof inserts – can also be easily trimmed with the ICAR leather shears.
We also like to use the ICAR shears when working with MESH from Glue-U to close off the sole area of the horseshoe.
The shears are also well-suited for general cutting tasks – such as trimming glue-on tabs or color strips, opening hay bales, or cutting cotton for a hoof bandage – making them excellent all-purpose shears.
The multifuncional cushioning pad made from Infinergy® material can also be easily trimmed to the required shape using grip shears.
In our assortment, you'll find two different grip shears – the red version from ICAR and the black, slightly more affordable version from Fifpe.
