Lister: Over a Century of Trusted Innovation

For more than 100 years, Lister has been one of the most trusted and respected names in large animal clipping and shearing. Known worldwide for their quality, reliability, and innovation, Lister continually refines their products in collaboration with leading grooms, shearers, and farmers. Their goal is simple: to create clippers that deliver superior performance, exceptional durability, and cutting-edge engineering.


Lister Fusion vs. Lister Laser 2

The Lister Laser 2 earned a reputation as a true workhorse—powerful enough to glide through the toughest coats with ease. But as with any tool, there was always room for refinement.

Enter the Lister Fusion: the next generation of clipping innovation. Weighing 100g less than the Laser 2 and boasting a sleek, modern design, the Fusion doesn’t just look better—it performs better.

Key Improvements:

  • Dual-Speed Functionality: Unlike the single-speed Laser 2, the Fusion offers two speeds for greater versatility across different coats and conditions.

  • Cooler Blades: Engineered so that the blade surface runs up to 10° cooler than the Laser 2, keeping animals more comfortable during clipping sessions.

  • When developing the Fusion, Lister focused on comfort—for both horse and handler. Its double-fan ventilation system maximises airflow to the motor, keeping the clipper cooler for longer, a big improvement on the Laser’s ventilated head which had a tendency to heat up quickly.

    Another smart upgrade is the Snap-On washable filter, making cleaning and maintenance quick and simple—far easier than the Laser 2’s older screw-on filter design.
