Does it matter where the clipper teeth sit in regards to the horizontal setting when zero gapping ? If you don’t know what i mean, basically, the bottom part of the clipper which you zero gap too, do you need to line them up in a way where the individual teeth at the end of the blade sit in line with the bottom teeth in a certain way or can you just sit them anywhere ?
I just bought these today,I tried zero gapping them but is it normal for the blade to move?(I turn them off and they move a bit over from where I left them)but go back to normal
I just got some of these earlier this year. And they get way too hot and stiff when adjusting the blade. Kept it oil and everything don’t know what else to do
Outstanding “Let’s get into the video” instead of time wasted in flaunt, plus very informative video. I believe out of box, lever fully closed is equivalent to a 000 blade, wonder what zero gap equivalent would be?
I personally like the magic clips better than the seniors, the seniors do have more power but it’s something ab the magic clips that makes them better for me
I cannot zero gap mine it’s perfect then i tighten it the blade moves evertime and one other thing the lever is a bit flimsy feels like it bends when I push it forward and back oh and the cord is hard to push in I know I will break the 2 pins on the charging cable just a matter of time
The seniors are a strong clipper and can take bulk out easy, but if i were to chose between them I’d go with the magic clips, i have both and use both but the magic clips just works way better for me when it comes to fading, i only use the seniors when taking out bulk
The only little thing I don’t like is that you can’t fully zero gap them. Or I take that back you can zero gap them but the problem is for some reason with Wahl’s metal case on their clippers like metal magic clip, 1919, the seniors. On the back of the clipper when you close it completely if you watch closely it dips in on one side. And when you open it fully after zero gapping it.. it’s off center. I’m OCD and I’m a perfectionist I can tell it’s a millimeter off when fully opened. Then when you close it if you notice closely it moves in further on one side. I wish wahl would fix this with their metal frames. My magic clips and my sterling 4s dont do that they stay perfectly even all the way open and all the way closed. So I use my magic clips and sterlings with stagger blades and zero gapped very closely and the senior I keep it not quite zero and use it for bulk removal. Then use magic and sterling to get bald lines out and for blending/ fading.
Had my seniors for a quite bit and it never did this until I tried zero gapping it, now It always dips from one side to another every time I close or open them, how can I get it to go back to normal and stay at center? I’ve tried undoing the zero gap but it keeps happening
When you zero gap your Clipper hold the blade with your other hand before you screw on the screws, if you just screw them back on without holding the blade down hard, the blade will move
watch comparison videos. senior has more power + standard blades. magic has less power + alternate tooth under blade for better fades. both blades can be changed later.
Yes bring them back. It is faulty. I had the same problem with mine and thought I was going crazy. The blade was so loose and uneven despite adjusting numerous times. I searched through comments on the internet to see of it is a common issue and it is. It's just bad quality control by Wahl and hopefully they sort this out!
Also to add, it seems like this issue is only on wahl cordless taper lever models with metal back housing - Wahl seniors, Metal Magic Clips, 1919's... Avoid them! For now anyway until they fix it.
