These replacement blades are suitable for the Smart Tails Professional and Smart Tails yellow Easi-Grip range of thinners. The blades are easy to change by loosening and removing the nut and bolt on one end and can be replaced or interchanged to different grades as necessary using a small spanner although slight adjustment maybe necessary by either pulling out the metal prongs or pushing them slightly in. It is advised that blades are changed on a flat surface so that it is realigned correctly. There are four grades of blade available and below we have given a guide to the best use for each.

Superfine blades are used mostly for finishing small show ponies or animals with small docks and very fine hair, as it will get close to the fine top hairs. Also used on all types where final presentation is critical as it will pick up the top fine hairs which are sometimes more difficult with the other grades. These are equally good for using on dogs and other small animals to de-matt and thin out thick hair.

Fine blades are mostly used on hair which have already been tidied or is quite fine. It is also useful to finish really thick tails when a show or close finish is needed, and the bulk of it has already been shaped with a coarser blade.

Medium blades are good for the average type of mane, tail or coat. This will cope with medium to soft hair and is ideal on manes and tails.

Coarse blades are good for thick full tails, manes and thick coats, which haven't been tidied before or are very coarse. This will process a large amount of thick hair easily and efficiently leaving a tidy looking finish. The coarse is also very good on natives that are being shown, and the end result needs to look tidy but still untouched.

Lisa's notes: These blades will fit either range of thinners from the Smart Tails Professional or Easi-Grip handle range. It enables the user to have a vast array of options when it comes to the degree of thinning/tidying they wish to do.
