My palm size wahl clippers are past their best, had them since 2004 and at one point I had 5 sets of paws plus Penny my Mum's dachsie [the most unco operative of them all] to do so well worth the minimal pay out back then, whilst searching for a replacement I came on this one

Anyone tried it and have any opinions, it has more fittings but seems to be the same width to get between those pads on small feet.

Are there tiny electric ones to avoid going through endless batteries, even the high powered ones don't seem to last for long?

It's a real nice trimmer I got mine from PaH.  If my pup will sit still it works great, very quiet and light

Thanks, I have found one that only takes one battery and is only 6mm wide, which would be ideal, will keep looking.

I had one and the blade broke after just a year, worked well enough though until then. Just ordered another one.
