That clipper blade I thought was dull cost me 3 hours yesterday
I spent almost a whole afternoon trying to fix a pair of Andis Masters that kept pulling hair. After cleaning them twice and even swapping the blade set with a new one, nothing worked. Turns out it was just a tiny piece of hair stuck under the tension spring on the back. I felt pretty dumb but now I check that first every time. Has anyone else chased a simple fix for way too long?

Yeah, did you check the tension first? That's always the thing I overlook. Hair gets wedged in there real easy, especially with Andis Masters. I've wasted an hour on a similar issue before. Now I just pop the spring off and blow it out before I touch anything else. Saves a ton of headache.

Ngl @the_anna, that spring trick is solid - but what about when the blade drive gets gummed up with oil and hair dust? I've had that happen where the tension was fine but the blade was still lagging. Had to soak mine in clipper oil overnight once and it was like a brand new machine. You ever run into that with yours or is the spring pop always the fix?
