Just realized my old clippers are wrecking my fade game
Was doing a skin fade on a regular last Thursday and my Andis Masters kept pulling instead of cutting clean. That hot feeling on the blade told me something was off. Turns out the pivot screw was worn down after 8 years of daily use. Had to finish the cut with my backup Wahl Senior while I ordered a new set. Anyone else hold onto gear way too long before swapping it out?

Eight years is crazy. Did you ever oil the pivot screw?

Not sure eight years is that wild if the knife was just sitting in a drawer or box most of the time, @williams.sage. I've got folders from way back that still flip fine just from being open a handful of times. Unless someone was beating on it daily, the pivot screw probably wasn't crying for oil.
