Hi, Glad you could visit us here at the Rapidfire Shearing Australia Official Website!
The statement above pretty well sums up why Rapidfire Shearing exists as a company today and truly defines our purpose and mission as a specialised business within the shearing industry. I am 100% committed to designing, manufacturing & sourcing quality products that offer all of the above benefits to EVERY SHEARER.
It's been over 100 years since the industry became truly mechanized and it astounds me that the industry has become so fixated on the next "Greatest Handpiece Ever Made" or "The New Improved Comb & Cutter" that recognizing the shearer's body is still the most important piece of equipment has been lost somewhere along the line.
If you're hurt, that "You Beaut" handpiece & comb doesn't drive itself.
Near Enough to 30 years in the game & I've seen more than my fair share of injury and fatigue caused by problems that I've helped shearers overcome, for under fifty bucks that no one else gave a second thought too.
A good case in point is the first product I ever made,The Rapidfire Shearing Rope. In my early shearing years, I made a name for myself as a Gun Crutcher setting an Australian Record in 1988 full crutching 1570 weaner weathers in 7 Hours,13 minutes & with that territory came aching hips & persistent leg pain.
To cut a long story short I designed a rope that reduced the amount of upper body pivoting and both problems disappeared!!
Another pet hate of mine is the modern version of the humble shearing singlet...
100% synthetic fibre because it can be produced and screen printed like a bloody billboard for peanuts, then charged through the nose for. It's just a pity that synthetic fibre is absolutely brilliant at raising body temperature while it's ability to absorb and wick away perspiration to accelerate the body's natural cooling ability, is near enough to zero!
The
marketing message for these singlets should read: "Buy a singlet and we'll throw in the muscle burn and dehydration for free!!"
My guarantee to you is that every product you see on this site has been personally tried & tested by me where it counts "In the shed,On the job" & I'm here to tell you (and those that have worked with me and know me can attest to it) I'm the toughest critic there is!!
All my products are guaranteed to be of the highest quality and I pride myself on only ever promoting quality shearing products to the shearing industry, regardless of whether they are products I've designed and manufactured myself or sourced from other reputable providers.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to provide you with Quality Products designed specifically for the most important machine in the shed - YOU!!!
All the very best,
Chris Taylor
CEO - Rapidfire Shearing Australia.
