I cannot see any info on which extra blades to buy (I am online about to purchase the clippers.) Which blades are compatable?

I'd stay with Oster brand blades. The blades are numbered and cut to different lengths. Decide which length you want to cut to and get the corresponding blade.

The A5 clipper comes with a # 10 blade. Any other Oster blade will fit the A5 clipper (I have not looked at all the blades they have for sale).

I don't have the information with me right now but the clippers came with a paper which listed some of the extra blades to use for certain things. That information may be available on the Oster web site. I bought my extra blade at a farm supply store where they were all displayed on the shelf.

The blade it comes with is pretty decent. If you want to buy a specific blade make sure it's an oster blade and it should be comparable. If your looking for the blade covers to cut the fur/hair to different length, the ones I got were made by oster and came as a set with 10 or so different lengths. Hope that helped!

The clipper comes with the 000 blade (.05). If you want shorter you and get the 0000 (.03) or the outliner blade (.01)Blades are not that expense and you can pick them up at any local beauty supply store or amazon has all of them. I will also add I use this clipper at least twice a week and it is by far the best clipper I've ever had.

I asked the same question at Sally's Beauty Supply prior to purchasing my Andis clipper & they said both clippers are the same with only difference being the width of the blade. However I would contact Andis customer service at 1-800-558-9441 & they can give you a definite answer.

All oster blades will work the same. Model 10's were the first clippers made my oster. But they stopped making them when the 76ers were released.. I think 76ers are crap. The model 10s are really light compared to the 76ers. It took me a min to get used to the lightness but well worth it. I think you will fall in love with the 10's

I don't know about that; I ordered a 2nd blade (for heavy matting) and it fit the clipper fine, though the guards did not fit well at all. I would contact their web site...

They are not sharper than the originals I found that my other ones were sold out that I thought the same thing as you but that was not the case try using the smallest guard possible to keep it from cutting into your skin until the dull out a little bit I think there's a half for a1 inch that you could use for guard I don't think you installed them incorrectly although I don't have a picture or anything but you would not be able to use the Clippers they would make a horrible sound and would definitely not work I hope this helps good luck

If yours are professional clippers then probably not. They did not fit mine, these were not wide enough. My clippers are a powermax, I had to buy mine at the osterpro.com, needed A5 guides.

Look at the documents that came with the clippers. If you do not have them available try looking on the company website.

I received both blades with the order I received. The new blades made the clippers work like new ones.

I found a kit here on amazon that fit the clippers. It was a full set with all different lengths. I just had to make sure that it fit the andis. I love mine---my only complain is watch it when grooming because it heats up and will burn you pet if you dont watch it. I want to order the porcelion attachments but they are $$$$ maybe 1 at a time. those prevent the heat up. Hope that answers your questions----if not let me know.

According to the Wahl website, the original blade that comes with the clippers is the "fine" blade (2179-301). This item is the "course" blade (2179-401). So no, this is not a direct replacement for the original blade; but it does work with the clippers and can be substituted for the original, giving a coarser cut.

Unfortunately, I have only used them with the Wahl balding clipper. My regular non-balding clippers are from another company.

They are most definitely supposed to be new!! Do you know who you ordered them from? I would contact the seller and ask that they swap you out for a proper, new pair of clippers. I looked through the order history on my seller profile and can't find you or an order for this particular clipper. But if it was one of my staff then I profusely apologize. Let me know if I can do anything else to help.

I use these blades on my wahl arco and my daughter on her wahl bravura. I'm not familiar with your clipper. Good luck!

It will work on any clippers that use A5 blades. If your existing blades look like this, they will work.

The clippers are good. But I wouldn't know what number blade you would want. I use the 7 for my setter/chessie mix (dog) who has a double coat. You could ask a groomer for advice on that one.
