Since the beginning of time barbers and stylists have wanted a clipper that was the size of their hand, acting as an extension of the arm. The Instinct metal edition hair clipper not only has an incredible compact size, but has faster blade speed and more power than any clipper before. Turbocharged IN2 Vector motor that runs at 11,500 strokes per minute and has over 10,000 hours of life. The Instinct knows to increase torque and power to combat any thickness, texture, or length of hair effortlessly. Its rear metal housing is designed to absorb noise and vibration. This feature ensures a quieter and smoother operation, enhancing the overall user experience. ZERO GAP BLACK DIAMOND CARBON BLADE - Fitted with black diamond carbon fixed faper blade and slim deep cutting blade, high quality blades for perfectly smooth cutting. Fully adjustable and can easily be zero gapped for a close cut and finish. 3 HOUR CORDLESS RUN TIME & MINI USB CHARGING - The Lithium ion battery provides up to 3 hours of cordless run time, taking 2 hours for a full recharge by either the charging dock or multi-function mini USB lead. The battery life of the clipper can last up to 3-hours, but the actual duration may vary based on the usage of the intuitive torque control and the amount of torque applied. Once turned on or while charging, the power button will illuminate in blue. Once charging is complete the light will turn off. Included in the Box: 1x Instinct clipper - metal edition, 3x interchangeable skins (pink, black + white), 3x customisable levers (1x click system lever + 2x freestyle levers), charging dock & cable, multi-function mini USB charging lead, set of 8 white dub magnetic guards, 2x brackets (stretch + tight), mini screwdriver, blade oil & brush, spare screws, spare blade carrier, user manual 12 MONTHS WARRANTY The vector motor turns really fast, therefore, with very high RPMs, higher than the average of clippers on the market, this creates some unique conditions for this type of product that has this motor. For example, after about ten minutes of use the blades heat up a little more than with other clippers or trimmers. To avoid this, the blades must always be kept clean and lubricated, more frequently than you would have to do with other models. They also vibrate a lot... again due to the high number of RPMs of the motor. Obviously the faster the engine turns, the more the parts are subject to normal wear. Such as the runner/blade carrier will wear out sooner and will need to be changed more frequently than other clippers or trimmers.
The StyleCraft Pro Instinct Metal Edition Clipper is designed for professional barbers and stylists seeking a compact, powerful, and versatile cutting tool that feels like an extension of their arm. Its key benefit is the turbocharged motor delivering exceptional speed and torque for effortless cutting through all hair types, while a notable caveat is the potential for blade heat and wear due to its high RPMs, requiring diligent maintenance.
