Clyde Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I urgently need another 30 blade so have no time to purchase from my usual online place. My local Petbarn stocks andis blades. I have Wahl clippers. I've just gone through my blades and have a few Andis, but the guy said Andis wont work on Wahl clippers?? He read out all the suitable brands on the packet and Wahl isn't on them. Does anyone know for sure please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arcane Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 They should all be A5 compatible. If one of your other Andis blades fits on your Wahl clippers then the Andis 30# should. Perhaps see if you can take the Wahl clippers to the pet shop and make sure it fits before you buy, but i think it would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks Arcane I'm taking the clippers in but he wont open the packet (fair enough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arcane Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 How'd you go, did it fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yes, thanks so much for your advice. A lovely girl was there who was happy to open it for me to fit it and she even plugged it in for me just to be sure it would work smoothly $80 though That'll teach me for not pulling my finger out and sending mine off to get sharpened - or at least be more organised and buy online.

Salukifan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Andis blades are my favourites. Bit of a no brainer if you have Andis clippers I suppose. Where do you usually buy yours from Clyde? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 $80!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Andis blades are my favourites. Bit of a no brainer if you have Andis clippers I suppose. Where do you usually buy yours from Clyde? Most of mine are Osters as they were my preferred brand of clipper 13 or so years ago. I've had them for so long I can't remember where I bought them. I do have quite a few 30's though, Universal brand http://clipperbladesharpening.webs.com/clipperblades.htm I am not sure where I got my Andis blades from as I can't remember getting them either. To be honest I don't even notice what brands they all are. I probably should pay attention so I can work out a preference as I am sure some are better than others but I don't really notice so long as they cut well and don't sound funny. Today is the first time I've bought a blade in quite a few years. I mainly use 30's as I mostly use combs even for short clips - I prefer the finish. My Wahl clippers have been going strong for years with no issue but next decade around I might look at the Andis ones as quite a few people seem to be favouring them these days. I get sore wrists though and find the Wahl light for this, someone said on here a while back though that the Andis are lighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend the Geib Buttercut blades not expensive and come highly recommended by Melanie Newman former teacher ADC and master groomer. You can get a #30 online in Aust for $28.

Clyde Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks for that. I don't need any more now but will grab them when I do! Andis are definitely heavier than the Wahl. Also good to know. My wrists, fingers and shoulder have had it so switching from Osters to Wahls years ago I definitely found them kinder to my aging bones.
