I gave up my cordless clippers for a month and went back to corded

Everyone says cordless is the only way to go now, but I think they're wrong for a busy shop. I used my old Andis Master corded clippers for 30 days straight after my cordless pair died mid-fade. The power never dropped, not once, even during a 10-hour Saturday. I was doing about 25 cuts a day and the corded ones just felt stronger and more consistent through thick hair. My cordless ones would get weak after a few hours and the fade lines weren't as crisp. Has anyone else stuck with corded clippers and noticed a real difference in performance?

Honestly used to think cordless was the only real option for a modern shop. But after my last pair died and I had to use a backup corded model for a week, I get it. The power is just different, like you said. It doesn't fade out on you halfway through a tough cut.

Nah, I've never had my cordless quit on me like that.

Doesn't fade out on you halfway through a tough cut" - that's the whole thing right there. I've got a cordless circular saw that I love for quick stuff, but when I'm ripping down a stack of 3/4 plywood, I grab the corded one every time. The constant power keeps the blade speed up so the cut stays clean and the motor doesn't bog down. Plus I'm not swapping batteries every three cuts or wondering if the spare is dead. Just plug it in and go.
