Can anyone help or is it me, I have been struggling with walh clippers now for the past 12 months, sent them back twice to be sharpened, but they are never really fine, clipping schnauzers, they seem to just get matted in the hair straight away, so I clean them all off, oil them, wipe and have another go, no change.  only clip 2 of the dogs, rest are hand stripped, but I still need the clippers for little bits on the hand stripped ones, should I just bin these and buy another make or am I just being useless.  Any advice would be helpful.

Are they the pro ones with detachable/changable blades or are they the Argos pet ones with the little lever at the side to change the cutting length?

Don't know which breed you have but to be truthful for my breed none of their clippers are any good.

I bought them from a show, they are cordless, and have interchangeable blades, but not a lever on the side.

Sorry, Breed is Miniature Schnauzer

A friend bought the same sounding ones and they wouldn't go anywhere near her dogs coat and heated up very quickly.

I think that I'd send the lot back.:(

A Mini Schnauzer's coat shouldn't be difficult to get through.  I think that they are meant for just a final snip before going in the ring rather than for trimming a whole dog but I'd expect to be aboe to do a Mini's skull and ears!

I've used a couple of sets of their KMI in the parlour for years and preferred them to my Osters but I always used Oster blades with them.
