Dewalt 20V vs Milwaukee 12V power tools for trimming horses’ hooves

- I love using my Dewalt 20 V brushless paddle switch angle grinder and 20 V cut out tool to trim horses feet, particularly when they are rockhard. These tools really get the job done. They are powerful and reliable. They are also heavy, somewhat difficult to manage, especially if you have small hands, and noisy.
Recently I came across the Milwaukee 12 V 2” right angle and straight die grinder. I was intrigued because they are variable speed, lighter and smaller, and much quieter, so I decided to compare them and see how they do.
Definition of "Work smarter, not harder" thank you for the video!
Thanks - great comparison and I love your rolling stool. :)
I miss 5 Dogs in Bakersfield. Great vid bud!
Thanks for this video. Very useful and informative.
HOT DOG! You are a hoot and a half! Just the tutorial and brand comparison I've been looking for. My mustang has granite for hooves. I will be price shopping for the Milwaukee Tools. Always love hearing about products from my home state! However, what made my heart skip a beat is the stool/cart you have. WHY have I never seen that before????? Gotta get one of those.
Glad it helped you. Here is a link. I removed the drawers and cut a piece of wood for a long shelf underneath. Works great! I also bought the pad for the stool separately.

Thank you ! Ordered this from your information. And used for first time this morning. And wow ! LOVE it ! Horse acted better than usual - prob cause i was so much faster and no drag from rasp. And I did much better job. Haven’t used the straight one yet as I’m waiting on the burr. What pad do you use for the angle grinder ? I had to buy ryobi variety pack. Would rather find w/ same grit. Thank you !
This video is exactly what I was looking for. My farrier is moving and my horses are barefoot. I am getting a little old to use traditional nippers and my horses are a little, just a little uncooperative. I bought a regular 4" angle grinder a couple of years ago and my old quarter horse was fine with it. But the two I have left are too bothered by the noise - and frankly it is too heavy for me. I have been researching the few mini 12V angle grinders I could find, but the comments said they were wimpy. I was wondering about the die grinders. Excellent! Thank you for your help. Now off to your video on getting them used to the equipment
Good luck! Let me know how it goes! 🤠

Yay, a way to make trimming easier... 👍
The thing I find with a power tool is if at the wrong angle , filings hit their legs and start bouncing around other have used them for years also Good video
Thank you. I bought two angle grinders and they were both too heavy for me. I am 69 and don’t have the muscle strength I used to have so I went ahead and ordered this small angle grinder. I have been trimming my two horses for four years now. So I have watched all your videos on trimming with an angle grinder. Will probably for now just stick with my hoof knife for the bars. Thank you so much much for this great information on this video. It really helped me solve my problems. Many blessing for your great video.
PS what is the beginner recommented tool for the bars if I go the route later. Baby steps here. 😊
Check out The Hoof Boss cordless
Thanks! That’s what I needed to know:-)
Appreciate this video, what grit would you recommend?
I use 36 grit 4.5” ceramic disks I buy in bulk on Amazon.
A Very Nice Video,👍😊Craig.🤠🌼🐴🌼🐎.Nicely Done.& Seems not 2 Hard in learning how 2 Clean the 🐴Heaves,either. Nice in Learning.👍🤠🐴🐎🤎🤍👢
Lol do you come out to valley acres? I need a farrier and since it's a bit out of the way, I tip well!
I charge $75 for a normal trim and that far would also be an extended ranch call fee of $75.
Hi Craig! One year later - would you still recommend the Milwaukee? Looking into tools for myself. Thanks!
Hi Sarah. The Milwaukee tools are quality tools that are easy to handle. 1 year later I use my Dewalt 20v 4.5” grinder exclusively for doing heels and hoof walls. The bigger sanding pad with more power works faster and easier. But I LOVE the Milwaukee straight die grinder for bar/sole. If I were only doing 1-2 horses 🐎 would probably prefer the Milwaukee. Let me know how it works for you!
@@craigmorley7941 That is great feedback. I am only trimming two and will opt for the Milwaukee as it looks much easier to handle. Thanks again for the comprehensive comparison!
I use a cordless grinder but I’ve been in the business for 38 yrs and would never recommend for a beginner . I’ve been called I too many times with DIYers with bloody feet !!
How people think they can trim their horse's feet learning through CZcams boggles my mind. Years ago people didn't think this way. I know that some ranchers trim their own horses, but they are probably taught by someone that knows what they are doing. I hope so, anyway.
I am attempting to trim my now overgrown horses' hooves. There are no farriers in this area other than the Amish who will not do mine because I am not Amish. So even as a beginner, I have no choice.
@@user-dp7ud3rn2x when you hit the coffin bone and it has a very peculiar sound . You should stop at that point 😉
What piece are you using on the straight die grinder?
