When Your Grooming Shears Need a Quick Fix: Free Parts from Harebone Shears

As a professional dog groomer, your shears are your lifeline—precision tools that handle everything from fluffy Poodles to dense Doodle coats. But even the best shears can hit a snag: a finger tang falls off, the bumper (or silencer) on the finger rings goes missing, blades start crossing at the tips, or worst of all, the pivot screw falls out or gets stripped. These small issues can throw off your rhythm, cause hand fatigue, or lead to uneven cuts. The good news? You don't always need to buy new shears or pay for expensive repairs.

Common Scissor Woes Groomers Face

Let's break down those frustrating problems:

• Lost Finger Tang: That little rest on the ring can pop off during a busy day, making your grip uncomfortable and unstable.
• Missing Bumper/Silencer: These rubber or plastic pieces between the handles quiet the "clack" and prevent over-closing, which stops blades from crossing and damaging tips.
• Blades Crossing at Tips: Often from loose tension, a worn bumper, or misalignment—leading to snags and poor performance.
• Screw Issues: The pivot screw holds everything together. If it falls out, loosens, or strips, your shears won't open/close smoothly.

These are super common in high-use grooming environments, where shears get dropped, knocked around, or worn from constant action.
