Differences between Clippers for Human Hair and Clippers for Dog Hair
Hi,
Are electrical clippers for human hair pretty much the same as the electrical clippers for dog hair or is there a significant difference in performance? Some time ago I tried to clip my spaniel's hair with a clipper for human hair, but it was just took weak to even trim a millimeter of dog hair. Although I would like to think otherwise, maybe my personal experience is unique. Thanks, Jamie |

Hello?
Revelant responses would be greatly appreciated, considering my weeks worth of waiting.

Are electrical clippers for human hair pretty much the same as the electrical clippers for dog hair or is there a significant difference in performance?... When no one responds, it almost always means that no one who saw the question knows the answer, and/or can provide a correct answer. {Usually, someone will answer--whether they know what they're talking about or not.] I'll take a shot at this one. Your clippers weren't strong enough because the amount of wire in the motor windings were too small and/or too few to carry the electrons needed to drive the motor, hence the blades, through such dense hair. So, here are the differences I know of: The good groomer clippers cost far more than the home-human clippers because they have more powerful, more durable, maintainable motors. They have replaceable motor brushes. They have a stronger, better engineered drive mechanism; and they have a variety of interchangeable blades--not merely a set of depth of cut guides. I hope that helps. Whatever it takes. |
