My old Wahl cordless clipper gave out mid-fade yesterday

I was finishing a skin fade on a regular client, and the motor just quit with no warning. I had to grab my backup Andis Masters to finish the job. It made me realize I've been putting off buying a new cordless set for way too long. What cordless clippers do you guys trust for a busy shop in Phoenix?

Tell me about it, my old Wahl cordless died right as I was lining up my own neckline. I looked like a half finished science project for a whole day. Learned the hard way that backup clippers are not just a suggestion. For a busy shop, I swear by the Babyliss Pro FX clippers now. They hold a charge forever and the motor is strong enough to get through thick hair all day.

My cousin used Wahl clippers for ten years without a single problem. I get that a dead battery mid-cut is annoying, but calling it a science project feels like a bit much, price.jake. It's just hair, it grows back. Are backup clippers really a must for someone who isn't cutting hair all day for a job?
