Can anyone recommend a clipper for arthritic hands? I have a hard time with the weight of most I've tried, it hurts &amp; I don't know what to choose?

Yes the Andis 2 is light weight, and easy to handle. I have arthritis,and I do my 2 mini schnauzers, and when need to strip my afghan hound with no problems.

I'm happy to respond: I'm not sure the "clippers" could handle keeping hair at 2 inches but I could be wrong. I recently stopped shaving my "biker" head after 12 years but didn't want to grow it all back. I'm 70 years old and am now comfortable showing my gray at the 1/8 to 1/4 length and using the "clippers" every 2-3 weeks, and, saving the $12-16 bucks (plus a tip) trip.

We have never used the other product. We previously had a cheaper clipper from another company. With this one, my husband or my son could easily do most of the cut themselves until they reached the back of the head or the ears. Initially they even do those but it is a "rough cut.",

I don't think so... I had an older model of clippers as well and it didnt work for them!

Sorry, I can't help you with that. I don't have experience with others and my dogs hate the clipper, so I don't use it.

Matthew, they wound up not fitting my clipper so I wound upjust buying a new Wahl clipper at Costco they happened to have one in the store it was very reasonable.

I bought my Lucite Cane and of course it was too tall for me also. I had my son-in-law cut it down with his high powered electric saw... It worked extremely well. Make sure to mark exactly where you want it cut and it can be done. Then put the tip on and you're ready to go. I love my cane and use it all the time especially when I "get dressed up"... I wish you the best.

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.

Well, on myself it went from my elbow to my wrist! Sorry! I dont have a tapemeasure on hand but I am a 5'6" female with normal ratio I would guess. personally it was very uncomfortable and terribly awkward trying to get it off and on with only one good arm. I went back to the plain standard type. easy on easy off and better fit. just my opinion..but then you did ask! Most expensive isn't always the best. Hope this helps you decide which is best for your arm. Hope you recover quickly!

I'm sorry but I don't have much for an answer. I had my clippers for about 3 years before I had to replace them. I think maybe just replace the batterie.

Depending on the fruit not so bad- lemons and limes pretty easy, but grapefruits (which I mostly juice) are tough because they are wider, even for the larger reamer. If you're losing strength in your hands, it might be better to save up and get an automated one that can also do things like apples- it would probably have more longevity

I have a weak wrist in my normally "strong" hand, and I can't get this opener to work very well for me. I still need strength to open a jar, and that's what I'm lacking. I'm not sure how it would be with arthritis in the thumbs, but I would just assume it would be a similar situation because the thumbs usually carry much of the strength in twisting. I wish I could recommend something, but at this point, I'm still looking too. Good luck, and if you find something that works, please share!! :)

My vet uses Millers Forge clippers, but they are a bigger size than the ones I bought, but look the same. I'm very happy with the smaller ones, since they work equally as well on my 75lb. dog as on my 11lb dog.

I looked up blading clippers and those seem to cut closer. I thought i really liked this product but after using it a few times ive notice it misses alot of hair and have to do it more than once.

I'm sorry we don't stock clippers for outside the USA. Try contacting the manufactures of Andis.

I would not catagorize this as a "light weight" clipper. It is very effective, relatively quiet and my hyper schnauzer tolerates it quite well. I do find that the clipper does heat up a bit, enough so that I need to put it down for a short while to let the blade cool. Even given that I would buy another one just like it as I like the action of it and the weight is not a problem for me.

Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave. It will cut the hairs down to a very short length, but for a smooth shave you'll need a razor or an electric shaver. Still, for cutting hair, trimming beards and nabbing those long hairs that grow on your neck, this clipper is one of the best I've owned. The battery life is simply amazing. I use these clippers to cut my hair once a week down to a 3mm length. Also, used to trim my full beard. After nearly six months of use, I'm just now getting ready to recharge for the second time. Unreal! My last set of clippers didn't last two cuttings and I had to recharge. If you can get past the cost, I highly recommend this product.
