Hola! Muy buenas noches 🍵. No entiendo el inglés busque el sustitulo y no lo agarra. Ése modelo de máquina Wahl Leger 5* es buena es modeló año 2015 cuánto cuesta 🤔💵? Y cómo la podría cuadrar para comprarla. Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪👍🏼.
These type of clippers never seem to burn out my father has 2 whal them from the 1960's, used them in his barbershop many for years, only the electric cords had to be replaced from time to time.
i have the white super taper ones, never worked properly since i got them, only used them a couple of times and already stopped working. very quiet and blades dont seem to be moving. didnt get any information leaflet with them on how to maintain them or telling me how they work etc. 😞
Recently learned that the frequency of your country is important. I bought a 60hz clipper back to a country that is 50hz. This causes the clipper to keep alot of noise. Wondering if there is a way to have the clipper adjusted or do I need a transformer.
@@kidstg9280 if you can find a device that outputs the right frequency the clipper will work like normal. In my scenario that device cost more than the clipper. So it was not worth it.
My 20 year old Super Taper looks like it has a bigger motor to the legend's in this video. Is it true that old wahl motors are more powerful than newer ones? Maybe for energy saving/efficiency regulations?
Badger hair brushes are a total waste of money. It's cruel and inhumane killing of this animal to get the hair. Boar hair is 10 times better anyway and last much longer. Boar hair bristles invigorate your face skin for a superior close shave. Spend the extra money on boar or synthetic hair. Leave those badgers alone.
Thanks for an interesting and very informative clip, but there are a few errors in the explanations about how these devices work, that would benefit from addressing: While they may be different brands and have slightly different designs, the principle just the same: a piece of soft iron, attached to the vibrating blade driving the cutting blade, is attracted, repeatedly, by an electromagnet that is fed by mains AC, and is compressing a push-back metal spring (the strength of which, can usually be adjusted, from the outside, as mentioned already by a few people. When the piece of iron, on the vibrating arm, is not attracted, because the AC goes through a zero voltage moment, the spring pushes the vibrating arm back, only to be attracted again when the AC voltage and the current through the coil, goes back up towards the max. Because there is no permanent magnet there, that would be attracted or repelled, depending on the polarity of the magnetic field (and the direction of the resulting force) there will be no repelling, only attracting by the electromagnet. The push back is done by a spring, every time the AC voltage goes through a zero , which is twice per cycle. Since in the mechanism, there is only soft iron, which does not magnetise permanently, and will be attracted whenever there is current going through the winding of the electromagnet, and generating a magnetic field, regardless of polarity, the moving part will be attracted twice per cycle, so 120 times per second in 60 Hz AC countries and 100 times per second in 50 Hz AC countries. Bigger magnet, bigger metal core, or stronger magnetic field, etc, WILL NOT alter the speed/frequency of the movement, which, in this type of mechanism, depends exclusively on the mains AC frequency. I just thought I'd let you know 😊 I am making no comments whatsoever about the actual hair cutting differences,
I get a silly question I shave my head bald but I wanted to get this device to trim my beard since I'm not really picky about the top of my head should I use this to pretty much shave my head like really really close
I have a Wahl model 7W, and can't find a replacement coil assembly. Mine starts and stop the actuator arm intermittently. I suspect the coil...but, you can't find them. Seems the clippers are now simply throw away. Even Wahl's Canada site doesn't even list the coils for sale....
I actually have same experience your not wrong..now I did some research like you and I agree what you said everything about them. I managed to get old Astra Blue in little shite box says 3 blades they shave so smooth and very nice mind you it's made in Czech republic which was outstanding quality and production on these blades..

Just bought a second hand no-brand clipper, and its amazing how even this simple design can be cheaped out on: the wires are just soldered to the coil, with a single strip of electical tape wrapped around it.
Mine started doing that two days ago. I suspect that you and I have a broken solder joint where either of the two wires enters the coil body. That would be the only thing on this primitive set up to stop applying a magnetic force. Check all the connections between the coil body and the power switch as a start.
The first thing that I would do is take the cover off, and have a look inside. Shorted out? There are a number of reasons why a set of clippers stop working. Sometimes, it just needs to be cleaned out. The inside of the body could be full of hair. There are no sophisticated electronics. Just a power line, interrupted with a switch, to the coil. And a neutral wire going back to the power cord. Maybe the cord is damaged.
This is a great video and it's a start to helping me fix my clippers if it all possible. Up front I haven't watched the whole video because I'm kind of desperate to cut my hair LOL but I I'm sure I overworked my clippers the last stint.
Can you help me out, mine has gone very weak, still works but very weak, ive tried adjusting the side screw but it doesnt help, only makes a loud noise if adjusted too deep
