Will this help an already-weathered set of clippers? Any suggestions?

I know once they start pinching that the blades are dull. I don't think the clipper is the problem, but that cannot be said for sure without seeing your clippers.

They can be clipped, the tips will likely be worn through by the time they need to be clipped again, so you will want to remove the remains of the cap, trim and re-apply. You should clip the nails just prior to putting them on. Your groomer would be able to shed some more light on your specifics. Cheers.

I had the same problem; It comes with the adapter, ready to attach to your clippers. If your blade is still good detach it from the adapter and save it for a spare. Amazon also sells the blade platform (adapter); you can detach your blade from the broken adapter and install it on the new adapter.

These clippers should work fine for what you need. My professional groomer friends use them at their shops for all breeds. I use them on Irish and English Setters and they work great. I think they would work nicely for light trimming on my horse too.

I'm only guessing here, but I think they would work. My dog, a Gordon Setter, has very fine hair instead of the rough fur you think of with a big dog. The clippers work well on her . . . . tho man! does it ever get all over the house!! (NOT the clippers fault!!)

Not at all, this is the first set of clippers that my dogs are not bothered by at all. I still take the dogs to the local groomer but now its once every 4-6 months, and I use the Andis clippers to keep them trimmed each month. Taking three dogs to the groomers every month at 50-60 bucks each was killing me. Now I save enough to pay for the clippers in two months and sometimes I take them for a real professional job and the nails.

I doubt that you need that. It only needs replacement if it breaks. You'll know when your clippers stop working no matter what blade is on them, but they run.

You need to make sure your dogs are very clean before clipping. Any dirt left in the coat will quickly dull the blade. Also, be sure to clean and oil the blade after every use. With proper care, these blades should be able to clip dozens or possibly even hundreds of dogs between sharpenings.

I believe it will help tremendously. I have an old leather coach bag and I scratched it with my nail and a pair of sm scissors and I used this product to take care of it!

I don't know. I bought an extra when I got the clippers and haven't had the need to sharpen or replace yet! Sorry!

nicely, just make sure as not to use the clippers for an extended period of time because they to tend to overheat.

I'm not sure if you need any special attatchments for a retriever, but I can comment on the durability of the clippers. I bought them to trim up our horses. Horses have very wirey hair that jam up most clippers on the market for under a few hundred bucks. But this model has lasted for over a year so far with regularly clipping three horses.

Yes..? I have two schnauzers...works well. Sometimes the clippers get too hot against their skin...after prolong use.

I am not sure but you could go to the site for the company that makes your clipper and see what blades will work.

I would say no. These Clippers are definitely not made for dog fur. They get hot. They're already warm by the time I shave my head. These have been good to me so far, but if I had to trim dogs I would just buy the more expensive Osters

My wife let her clipper land on the floor by accident and had the same result. We found the local Oster dealer did not even have parts and had never seen such a product (he probably doesn't get out much). We ordered a new blade from an internet vender and switched the blades here at the salon. All has been good for over a year now. We have found that some brand of blade wash, the kind that submerges the running blades to wash out clippings, make the cutting quality of the clipper last a very long time. Good Luck!

I think they will do, but you will probably deteriorates the blades quickly. Use scissors that are made for metal, see in your hardware store.
