StyleCraft Absolute Alpha Professional Modular Cordless Hair Clipper, 3 Modular Lids, Black Diamond Carbon Faper Blade, USB, Charging Stand

Its great except during daily professional use the colour of the casing rubs off, but aside from that ive had them for 1 year and theyre still doing great (and im very bad at maintaining them too)

Excelente producto llego en tiempo y forma y muy bien empaquetado

Great tool that need a few things to change its full potential. It’s short of a Rebel/boosted but you can always upgrade the motor on the main website and upgrade to the slim deep tooth cutter then it’s pretty much the same. So, The only different is the motor and the slim deep tooth cutter. 200rpm and just a hair torque less than the Rebel but without the loud buzz. I tried several modifications. The Philthy blendz mod that comes with it does not come with the cam follower for the andis master cutting blade. So your top blade wiggles around making bad fades. Unless you pay 45 dollars more through Philthy blendz website for the cam follower which I don’t see the value in that. Unless, you’re a Andis Master fan, it’s actually better than the cordless master as it has better battery life, lighter, and not having the master loud buzz after some usage. But if you do, get the one for stretch bracket and cam follower. The one that comes with this one is not a stretch bracket so it’s not a full open like the master. The stretch bracket that comes with this product is ONLY for Wahl style blades. The guards are not good. The 0 guard feels like Wahl 1 guard. The 1 guard feels like a 1.5 Wahl. So for those of you who like the Wahl .5 and 1.5 guard, it will throw your fades off. So I threw them away and use Wahl type guards. Both the Wahl premium and standard guards fit. The shallow tooth that comes with it will cut ALL kids and people with sensitive skin. The shallow tooth cutter will not make your fades blurry. If you buy this, toss out the faper blade and shallow tooth cutter, use Wahl, Babyliss, JRL, or similar type blades. Because stock, I found it useful only for clipper over comb and debulk only with guards. The gold deep tooth cutting blade that comes with it make it run slower because it’s a lot thicker like the cutting blades you get with the Wahl super taper. It is meant for taper blades. So if you are planning to use the faper blade, buy the deep tooth cutter. If you are planning to use the gold cutting blade, buy the taper still blade. Conclusion, Alpha was created for experimenting. But once you know how to work out the small modifications, it is the only rotary motor you can find with 7000 rpm and 4 hour usage. But why the 5 stars? It’s 4 hour use, can use any type of Wahl/Babyliss/JRL blades and cutters, and come with a charging stand.

As an experienced barber I did not expect much out of this clipper having used the rebel for some time. I knew rpm’s were considerably lower, but i bought it to see how the master blade mod would fare but i gotta be honest this clipper really doesn’t neee a high rpm like the rebels or instinct it cuts like butter.. It also comes with the faper blade which all good barbers know is a great blade. I’m very happy with this clipper and all that comes with it I’ve used it now consistently for about a week, and I couldn’t ask for much more from the alpha great clipper overall 9.4/10

Durable and way more affordable than a lot of luxuary clippers good for nothing
