    Anyone know any shops in Dublin with clippers in stock?

    Too impatient to wait for an online delivery but if I have to I have to.

    Either Argos or Amazon. The second wave is on the way found in China yesterday, could be a cheap investment for the next year.
    Prepare for hard times.

    There's few popping up in Argos.

    One available in Ilac.

    Picked a Philips one last week from Argos.

    I got the Wahl Super Taper in April and it was working well but I let it fall and now the Blades no longer cut. One of the screw threads inside the machine has snapped and the parts are now loose.

    I'm thinking of getting either the Kemi 2600, Remington Quick Cut or the Babybliss XTP which were all recommended earlier to replace it.

    Can any of the above blades be zero gapped to give a bald shave?

    Which one if those would give the closest cut. I usually use anything between 0 and 2 so are any of those suitable?

    Thanks

    Edit:
    Btw for anyone considering the Super Taper it is a good clipper but has 1 drawback that I only realised the other day. If you need to remove the blades to clean them it is quite difficult to reset them accurately.

    It is also a heavy clipper but that could be a plus for some.

    Parts are available for the Super Taper... I'd just fix that

    +1,
    it could be under warranty, and I think wahl are pretty good. if they refuse it still might be possible to salvage, if you post photos of what is wrong you might get help. e.g the screws are a certain size, if they are totally ruined it might be possible to drill it out and rethread and use a bigger screw. I hate seeing stuff scrapped!

    The screw itself is not snapped. The casing that houses the thread that the screw goes into has snapped.

    This screw is used to keep the electro magnet in place.

    I don't think glueing it would work.

    For what it might cost to get a new casing I might be better getting a new clippers like the Kemei for €30.

    I don't think I sent awatly any guarantee form or registered it to avail if a guarantee.

    I bought the Taper from Terrisales. Would they deal with the warranty or would I have to contact Wahl?
