CLIPPER TIPS
Sponsored by Andis Co.
Fatigue Free Fades If any of customers have ever experienced wrist issues that have hindered their work flow and they have been using heavy duty clippers, Andis has created a solution. The solution could easily be found in the lightweight housing of the new Fade and Envy clippers by Andis. Both tools have very strong motors, yet they have lightweight housings that will cause less wear and fatigue on a clipper cutters’ wrists. The worst thing that can happen to a clipper cutter with a high volume of clients is fatigue of the wrist or any wrist related issues. As a clipper cutter who has experienced spraining my wrist then attempting to service clients with clippers, it helped me realize that cutting with tools that are lightweight would be useful in extending my clipper cutting career. My thought is if my most vital tools are light enough to reduce fatigue in my arms, wrist, and fingers, then later in life I will be able to still clipper cut hair. When I can address personal health concerns without sacrificing quality of tools it becomes a no-brainier. These tools have become my choice tools that have qualified as lighter tools compared to their counter parts without sacrificing quality. Andis has other lightweight tools that have been beneficial to my wrist recovery as well: the MVP, the Fade, and the Superliner. All three tools are incredible tools that have been a blessing to my wrists and my clients. The MVP is one of the lightest, smallest detachable blade clippers on the market, yet it moves faster than most of its competition. The Fade is a versatile lightweight magnetic motor tool that can be easily used with my fingers. The Superliner is the only detachable blade, lightweight rotary motor clipper that is ergonomically correct, which contributes in reducing fatigue and increasing productivity.
