I have the orange-handled ones from Caprine Supply/Hoegger's/Jeffer's. They are OK. My goats must have hard feet, though, because my trimmers were dull after just one trim on the first 3 goats!!! Very disappointing. I did manage to sharpen them but I am disappointed in them for the cost ($17-$22). I'm going to try the Dremmel as soon as I can nail down which one to buy...

try to cut some sanding paper, this should sharpen your hoof trimmer. at least this works for me
i like the orange hoof trimmer because it does not get lost so easy.
