I prefer the ARS hoof trimmers over the orange handled trimmers. This is ONLY because the red handled ARS trimmers are made from a hardened steel and will hold up to more trims and more sharpenings.
For the amount of hooves my trimmers see, I needed to spend the extra cash and get the better blade. I used to swear by the orange handled trimmers, but I trim professionally and was spending more $$$ on sharpeing services then I wanted to with the orange handled ones.
The orange handled trimmers are AWESOME if you are simply trimming your own herd and not going around trimming multiple herds of animals.

Never heard of the other ones.

I do not use the serrated ones.....they are WAY to aggressive for some of the finer jobs and remedial trimming that is needed. The ARS trimmer (non serrated) is just about the same handle grip size as the famous orange handles, the blades are a little thicker but fuction so similar that going back and forth between the two different pairs is easy. The big difference is ONLY that they hold their edge FAR LONGER then the orange ones. If you only have a small herd and trim every six weeks, then the orange handles are perfect. I see 100+ sets of hooves a week......I need some heavier artillery.
