Research before you buy
Common sense right? Well, it’s not that I didn’t try, but it’s not exactly made as easy as it could be.<br /><br />Regarding the seller: Don’t buy these without being 100% sure they’re for your clippers, because you can’t return these.<br /><br />Regarding the manufacturer: Wahl doesn’t do a great job identifying their physical products. I bought a clipper second hand, thinking “Great, it’s hardly used and all it needs is a new blade.” Turns out, if you don’t have an exact model number it’s extremely difficult to figure out what blade kits will work because Wahl doesn’t actually put the exact model number on all of their products. There’s also slight variations for common parts, like screws. Not sure why you’d spec an entirely different screw when manufacturing a like part used in multiple product lines, but hey, what do I know. You might only get the name of the series or product line, or in my case, an abbreviation of it. I’m not sure why, considering every other professional tool manufacturer stamps or at least prints a model name, number, and serial number on every unit. I’ve had an easier time sourcing parts for 10 year old discontinued power tools.
