Thought I would try Masterclip as they are British and their business is all about animal clippers. I am an armature groomer just grooming my two working cockers every 6-8 weeks. I have been buying cheaper clippers that simply don’t last. I have read the instructions and followed it and was very pleased with the performance of the dog trimmers I bought. Both dogs are looking good for an amateur carrying out the task. I found the trimmers far easier to use than any other makes I have used. So very pleased with my purchase and piece of mind if I require new blades Masterclip can supply.
