Slim Talks about Clippers

I talk about the clippers I use. If you want to know why they work or the difference in clipper motors, blades and how to take care of them, watch Ivan Zoot's videos. He can say 2x's as much in half the time.

Hey Slim how old is your Andis Masters? I've heard that is built like a rock and a favorite among barbers.

[slimthebarber]

@keola32 I have 2 that are almost 6 years old and 1 that is about 10 years old. They last forever.

what's your opinion on the oster 111's

[slimthebarber]

@jsherm2134 They're OK. I quit buying Oster products a while back. I still have some 111's that work fine and are 11 years old. But I've had problems with newer 76's and fast feeds. All my old Osters still work. The ones I've bought within the last 5 years are all dead.

Slim, what is wrong with the newer oster 76's?

[slimthebarber]

The last 2 I got lasted about 3-4 months. They started heating up to the point that you couldn't hold them. The motor would screech when you turned them on after about the 8th haircut in a day and stay super loud after the screeching was done. I talked to several other barbers who experienced the same thing. I don't know what caused it. I heard Oster tried to boost the power of the motor and/or machined the parts off shore. Whatever it was, it failed. And I swore by 76's prior to that.
