OK here goes BLADE DRIVE -I HAVE BEEN having some issues and was looking through Reading some posts here but how do I know if a blade drive is bad or if the blades are just dull? if I don't have a clipper to try the blades on other than the one I suspect has a blade drive issue how can I differentiate between the two?

Don't they make any good trimmers that have thin cutting heads/blades? Even the Mini Arco's 1 1/2" blade sounds a little thick to me for what I need it for/my level of skill (low level).

Hi, I am a new groomer that is about to go into grooming academy. I have used the Kim laube Cowboy clippers for my horse and loved it, but im not sure how the lightening clippers are and if they are any good? Please give me you opiions on the laube clippers, especially compared to the andis clippers (those are what everyone at my salon uses). I will be grooming all types of dogs, every size, so I need something universal, not to big, and powerful enough to get through mats when needed but quite enough for say a more skittish dog. Thanks.

I noticed when I first got my cromado a few weeks ago, that it had some fairly thick grease/lube on the metal pin that rotates to move the blade. Now that lube is gone and the clipper seems louder. Should I be lubing that with something?

BTW, I don't know how I survived without this great clipper!

I'm pretty broke so I can't get both, so which one should I get? A toe blade or a trimmer for in between pads, face, and other tight areas? And are toe blades pretty good at not causing nicks and cuts?

I did a search and only found one comment on this. I was wondering if anyone else has used it? Did you think it really removed mats painlessly? Did it really leave the coat undamaged?

I understand how the knife like bladed rakes work, they split the mats and basically cut knots out but I don't get this V rake. I don't know how it works and if I should try it or not. I had a bunch of mats to comb out on a standard poodle and ended up cutting out a lot of hair with a knife like bladed rake and don't want to have to use it again. She feels like her hair is thinning from all the hair cutting :(

Sorry, my mistake. I did a search AFTER I asked so I found my answer. Please delete?

So I somehow jacked my clipper s up.
I *think* the cord is broken inside the black cover if it bends....it shuts off if I keep it from bending It works great.does anyone know where I can send them to get the cord replaced? or should I just scrap them? either way I have to get new clippers.man I loved the handpeice on these.

I have a 7 year old Bichon. She is well behaved, but does not like baths or hairdryers too much. She pulled a ligament in April and has not been groomed since before then. She also has degenerative disk disease. She has a hard time standing and can sit for 3 to 4 minutes before going down, She is about 23 lbs. And VERY matted right now. I could not go near her for months without her crying out in pain, and or running from me. My husband and I want to so this ourselves. I do not expect her to look good the first few times b/c I know I am going to have to cut some of the mats out. She has them on her lower legs and side of her face. I know I am to use a 4 or 5 cut on her. But I am SO lost on brand of clippers. I do not need a professional. I need one just for her. I also have small hands. and I want a quiet one since she barks at dryers, sweepers, etc. Friends have told me about Andis AG2, but reviews say it runs hot fast. I do not want that either. I would really, really appreciate any advice anyone can give me on grooming just her. What will I need? Thank you in advance.

I have a pomaranian and I want to start clipping him myself. I am lost when it comes to the right clippers to buy and the size of the blades and what I would need. I have had him clipped with the lion cut and they thin his hair but I don't know what to buy. I do know they said they used the #7 blade but I can't find that anywhere. Can someone tell me what the sizes mean? are the larger numbers long or short? I don't want to spend a fortune as I only have one dog i just want something that will work do a good job. If someone could direct me to either an article that describes this or tell me so i will know what to buy.
Thanks!

It's time to purchase another set of corded clippers. After thoroughly reviewing all of the great advise and experience in this forum I've decided to purchase a Wahl clipper but can't decide between the KM2, Switchblade or Storm (not sure if Storm II is any different). I use the Andis UltraEdge as well Wahl's Chromado and/or Arco for sanitary, pads, etc.

The majority of my clients prefer pet and/or puppy cuts. I also groom a variety of sizes and breeds. I am good about clipper and blade maintenance, but I wouldn't mind if I didn't have to do it so often! haha

I would appreciate any advise and experience that any of you have to offer regarding the Wahl KM2, Switchblade or Storm.

Thanks a bunch!

... I have one. It's probably dumb. Can I put my wahl SS combs in my dishwasher? They get so grimy and it's hard to get in there with a toothbrush and sanitize each tooth of the comb.

I'm needing a new HV Dryer and was wondering what everyone has to say about the Double K Challenge Dryers and which one is the best. The one w/the most power is almost $400 so this is a big investment for me, but worth it if they are worth it. I like he idea of the clamshell housing, are they really much quieter? I think this is the dryer that Ally on Underdog to Wonderdog uses. Thanks.

Anyone have these yet? I just got my petedge catalog today and saw them. I need to replace some of my Wahl combs and was considering these. They stay on by magnets rather than clips. I see they also have Master Grooming Tools brand stainless steel combs too.

The new bone shaped grooming table is cute too, though I don't need a table.
