Everyone with little hands_your favorite tools

[ferretlov]

I have little hands,I was wondering what shears and clippers other people with little hands like best.I Have a ring size of 5 on my wedding band just to give an idea of the size.Its reall yhard with shears even with those little rubber inserts my finger still slips a little bit.

Yep, peeny little hands here too. I tried to put double thingies in my shears, but no go. I will be interested in seeing other suggestions.

You gotta try the Geib convex shears with the offset handle. Super for small hands and fingers. Only $100 and they're my favorite shears.

I've never found anyone (adult) with smaller hands than myself (I'm sure they exist, just haven't met them yet LOL). My ring size isn't small, my fingers are just short and stubby! I have my fathers hands. Guess it's better than his hairy chest LOL. I really like my Kenchii shears because of how well balanced they are. I also use the Geib convex. I love the square bodied Andis. It just fits in my hand better than the round for some reason, more comfortable.
When I go bowling if I forget to bring my own ball, the only balls my fingers will fit into are the 6 pound kids balls! One time someone thought they'd be funny and try to use my bowling ball. It took two people to pull the ball off! LOL. of course they also didn't realize it was a fingertip. Serves them right LOL.

I have tiny stubby hands and fingers!!! I am 5 feet tall and my 9.5yr old daughters hands are bigger ( thanx to my husband being 6'7" learned from breeding/showing dogs to improve on your faults LOL).

Anyway back to the subject.
I use the Giebs too, I also love (don't laugh) these little curved blue handled "throw aways" they are like 25.00 and I think they are Fromm I LOVE to use them for feet and things like that I can't groom with out them. They are so cheap I have like 5 of them because I don't usually sharpen them, I don't use them for important scissoring (that's what the Giebs are for). I also like Oster thinning shears. Anyone that sees me using those little blue handled things laughs at first, but they work awesome for me feet, ears (esp edges of sch, yorkie, westie etc..)
My hands fit best around Andis' any of the square shaped ones I have a hard time with rounds clippers.

Oh Mylady you need to meet my hands they are small and super stubby. I played clarinet and flute in highschool I even had trouble with that sometimes. My husband tried to teach me to play the electric bass and the neck is just to wide.

The ring inserts come in different sizes and fitting a size 5 finger is pretty easy. You will need the plastic inserts. The rubber ones I have found don't come sized small enough.

the main daily use scissors I use my monks 10 in curves and straights for the feet I use my super gators short curves.these are the most used scissors I have except my thinning shears of course. 3 scissors do tend to have smaller finger wholes than any of my other brands such as my gators or kenchii shears.I too wear a size 5 ring and have long skinny fingers lol. I also like them the most because they are light weight and do not cause hand fatigue as my other brands do. my monks are 17 yrs old so I think they are now sold as monk lights.you can ask any scissor sharpener(like northern tails) which would be comparable to finger size and lightness with durability at holding an edge. I am very hard on my scissors more so on the handles due to my arthritis, but my blade edges hold true for a long time.

the only thing worse than having really small hands is having short fat fingers! They assume that when you have short fingers that they should be skinny as well. Well, they got another thing comin'.......
