I find it's easier to lay the rooster on it's back on your lap and take a pair of dog toenail clippers and trim the Spurs until they start to bleed and it takes a while for them to grow back I only have to cut my roosters Spurs like 4 times a year.
You're supposed to stop before they bleed, just as if you were trimming his nails or a dog's or cat's nails. Hitting the quick like that hurts and causes him pain, just as it does a dog or cat. I'm sure you've trimmed one of your nails back too far and gotten the quick and it hurt. It's the same for him.
