A good pet clipper is a necessity for both professional groomers and also any owner who wants to do their own grooming. You will need to consider several things before you purchase a clipper. If a power outlet isn’t readily accessible and your pet needs a small amount of grooming, you can consider wireless clippers. However, if you require power and more use you will have to go with a corded clipper. No matter which version you choose you will need to maintain, oil, and clean your clippers as well. You will want to be sure to purchase clippers with A5 blades so they are easy to replace. If you’re a professional groomer the weight of a clipper is an important factor.  PetEdge Catalog has many clippers, replacement blades, and accessories to choose from. understanding the specs, and benefits of the various clippers available will help in making the best-informed decisions when purchasing a new grooming tool.

6 Things You Must Know Before Purchasing Your Grooming Clippers.

1. What to look for in a clipper blade. 

For easy versatility make sure it’s A-5 Compatible. Oster the original manufacturer of the first professional detachable blade clipper, originated this term as well. Today, it’s the standard term for a clipper of a certain size with detachable blades making the blades interchangeable between brands. Well-known manufacturers such as Andis, Wahl, and Geib produce these standardized size clippers with A-5 compatible detachable blades. Usually, the clipper is sold with one blade but other blade sizes are available to be purchased separately so the buyer can customize the clippers depending on their needs.

2. There are two types of Clipper Motors to choose from.

 Number one is the Universal geared motor. Universal motors are powered in two directions by their power source (both forward and back). It requires routine internal maintenance but performs much better and lasts longer. These motors have more power and torque, so in addition to general everyday grooming, they are able to get through heavily matted and thick coats. The second choice is Magnetic Rotary. Driven forward by the power source and then dragged back by a magnet. The motors are pre-lubricated, sealed, and require less general maintenance. They require speed and are less powerful so they are more useful for general grooming and shaving lighter coated breeds.

3. Clipper SPM

Means strokes per minute and is a measurement for the clipper blade speed (back and forth in one complete motion.)

4. Clipper Usage Recommendations

“High Volume” is made for professional groomers who see over 10 pets a day. “Moderate Volume” is made for professional groomers who see anywhere from 6 to 10 pets a day. “Low Volume” is made for professional groomers who see no more than 6 pets per day. “Precision Trimming” is made for professional groomers to clean up and detail coat around face feet, sanitary trip, etc. “The Entire Body” is made to groom a single dog. It will handle most coats and be able to groom the whole animal in one sitting.

5. Cordless Vs. Corded

Depends on your preference. If unrestricted movement is the most important feature to you cordless clippers are best but you will sacrifice some of the constant steady power than corded models offer and you will also need to worry about recharging. If it is a cordless model make sure it has lithium-ion batteries. They are lightweight, have lower maintenance, and keep a charge longer than other batteries.

6. Clipper Weight

Lastly, the clipper’s overall weight can be a very important factor when it comes to choosing the correct tool. Groomers usually hold the clipper longest out of all of the grooming tools and a professional-grade clipper weighs just over a pound.
