[@FuegoNegro463]

finna get my shits right

[@Texasdishman]

Been cutting for almost 50 years this July.. I have never thought about adjusting the tension bar, I took it for granted that the Factory setting were correct. Very good video.. Even Old dawgs can learn something new.

[@kbell7834]

Danny Crawford hi

[@PedrazaArt1]

That’s right you old bastard 👏

[@nunyadambidnis2274]

whats the point of adjusting the tension

[@577buttfan]

@@nunyadambidnis2274 So the two blades stay together and dont vibrate apart while cutting causing a jam.

[@clsmith614]

ok great vid, learned a couple of new techniques different & much more easier than I learned from school. TFS

[@slink1957]

I was dead in the water with my trimmer. I took it apart to clean and it was never the same. I followed your video with the blade alignment and tensioner and now it works better than when I bought it! I appreciate your professionalism. Thank you.

[@spicypotato2174]

David Slinkard hi

David Slinkard whats the name of the alignment tool? Will like to get one

OMG... Ditto!!!

Setting that tension and removing that back screw has my liners hitting way better thanks.

[@kennydavis2525]

I been cutting 25 years ain't never knew this omg fire video bro

[@mollyg9803]

This is the best quality, most detailed T-outliner video I have found. 5 stars, thank you!

[@desyne9934]

Not Sure

[@deejay5102]

did it work???...

[@ReggieWinston]

Molly G I agree. Check these trimmers out too kzbin.info/www/bejne/opy4l6uOZpyIbKc

[@Pestilence868]

That "snap" is the key to it bro thanks...............trimmer sharper than brand new now

[@beewalk34]

Thanks brotha!!! Been cutting my hair for years. I never knew about both adjustments. Despite that, as a high school teacher my students always tell me how fresh my cuts look. But I came across your video and followed both steps to the T. And it's definitely a game changer. Now my andis outliners are sharp as hell with a lot more power. My shape up looks better than my last trip to the barber. Can't thank you enough!

[@sd33zy313]

thanks bro thought I fucked my shit up

[@dewash331]

This is the absolutely best demonstration for adjusting the tension on the Andis Outliner trimmers

[@seancoles1972]

Thanx a whole lot Fam it's 3 am in Houston TX. and I followed your instructions and got my joints right. I even adjusted my wahl t linners. I appreciate the free game RNS.

[@jaymendoza6920]

great video ! me personally would not recommend the mirror way of adjusting becuase most ppl wont check or know if the blades are to flush to each other and will cut ppl necks and around the ears the sensitive areas especially those new to cutting hair

[@tracyeyre5991]

Wow. Thanks so much. I've been pissed about these trimmers since i bought them 1 1/2 years ago. They were hardly cutting at all. I even bought a new blade at one point, still no luck. I followed your info and voila... they work great!

[@Aaron-vv8hr]

Just did this to my t outliners and WOW! what a huge difference it makes, thank you bro!

[@shahrukh817]

My man, I cannot thank you enough...I tried 3 different blades in one day (all zero gapped), and thought that my T-Outliners were shot...after watching your video, in 2 minutes I was back to cutting my hair...thanks so much! Appreciate your informative and easy video...you seriously helped a ton!

[@KeleentProductions]

How can you tell if your tension is off without taking it apart?

[@NoNonsenseJohnson]

Hands down a perfect tutorial. 10/10

[@jeffthebarber8259]

Why doesn't andis sell two different categories of trimmers... Home use and professional barber use that come pre adjusted and gapped??? I've been a barber for 20 years and still don't understand why the fuck I gotta adjust every pair of trimmers/clippers I buy???? It makes no goddamned sense to me!!!

[@enriquehernandez1027]

jeffrey patterson liability reasons if they are set and cut someone right out the box they can be held liable (sued) so they are not completely zero gapped

[@bonafide154]

@@enriquehernandez1027 thats what a disclaimer is for. it waives all liability from the manufacturer. if they clearly have it in writing on the box theyre good. thats why promate never has no issues with their sharp blades and tools.

[@Boricuaamada]

I always go to your videos when I'm having issues with my clippers. Thank you so much! ❤️

[@thegotdamnjuggernaut313]

They work better now than they ever had. Appreciate that, homie 👊🏽

[@Cars4life]

Great video man! I travel for my job so I invested in these to keep me looking good while on the road. Your video got me set up right. The lines are Day n Night from before I did the steps in this video! Other thing that was annoying that you did not mention is that the slide piece can fall out of place. I kept fumbling it over and over. Thanks again!

[@tonyroda6292]

I had some Outliner IIs that I've had for over 25 years...they quit working so I took them apart and cleaned them up. Still wouldn't cut. I literally threw them in the trash and was ready to waste $90 on a new pair. I watched this video and you got me up and running again like they're brand new! Thanks man.

[@dtchevy7317]

Finally bro after 20 yrs, your vid made me scream for effin joy, thanx alot for the vid!!!!

[@DTH2ALLU]

great video man, I have the same t liners for the last 12 years never adjust then only thing I ever did was change the blade. learned something new today 👍👍

[@I8UUP2]

I wanna thank you champ! You save me from throwing away my favorite Andis clippers. I took my Andis apart to clean them and could put it back together. When to Sally's Beauty Store and was told they don't repair or sharpen blades any longer , what a blower 🤦 So I came home and started searching for instructional videos and came across yours... Thanks for your instructions on maintaining your clippers.

[@mistergunsmoke3118]

Dam I was wondering why my new ones wasnt doing shit out the box duhh. Thanks fam

[@ephrenewed1103]

SAME!!!

[@badboy8813]

Thanks for the tip. My main issue was with my tension and the number one thing that worked for me was removing the second screw by the power switch. Amazing!

[@timothyknights303]

Thank you very much my brother I have one just like those and because of your helpful video my T edger is set the right way ☺

[@ghentforce2020]

I really enjoyed the video, it was very helpful and informative. I'm new to all of this and was wondering if you could explain what does adjusting the blade and tension do for the haircut. Thanks

[@AdrinTheBarber]

It really just helps with getting a sharper, smoother and cleaner cut and helps your clippers cut more consistently

[@SCRATCHONEMORE]

This is the best video out of all of them. Concise clear and clearly shows how to adjust blade and tension spring with correct position.

[@symboltherapper]

thanks man... really appreciate this video! I threw away my last pair of t outliners because I thought they were broken. all they probably needed was an adjustment lol. thanks again!!! peace

[@br3wskee]

I did something like that with my first pair back in the day too. Lol

[@darrenwilliams5702]

My gtx are hard to put the shit together throwing it away and buying new ones

Thx Guy..I am a woman and just bought my Outliners today...I like da crisp clean cut and purchase to stop buying so many razors but I will Btryin to do myself..wish me luck😯😃

[@metamas3am]

Thank you so much for teaching me how to do this. I love you ♡♡♡ and you information about how to become a better barber.

[@mikecarter523]

Been trying to learn how to shape my self up and my boys for a while now $80.00 a month for 12 months is almost a stack a year on hair cuts is a little crazy. I had bought a set of Andis Pivot Pro 6 years ago. Is it the same process in setting the blade on the trimmers as the t liners?

[@experienceprecision5406]

Support your local barber if you can. Learning to cut yourself is great if you can't get a appointment but your barber dedicated his life and feeds his family and the shop can be apart of the glue of the community.🍻

[@magic7207]

Yo bro , I’ve been trying to learn this technique for years. No one wants to show me . Even took my clippers to the repair shop to get them sharpened and they still weren’t hitting with that razor crisp line . Yo I looked at your video twice and tried your technique and my Andis T outliners work like “ butter “ . Yo thanks 100 fam

[@chosenstatus]

Amazing tutorial. I was having trouble with my outliner not cutting properly and this definitely did the job. Cheers!

[@click411]

I wanted to ask you. I like to fade with the Andies Masters. But I see barbers going over to the Oster Fast feeds. What do you think

[@angelamazon1]

Thank you bro, i been doing this for 30 years and i knew i was doing something wrong.

[@zephyteh2628]

bro please make a video of how you did your moustache please

[@chopvisuals]

thanks fam on the vid.. great info

[@ThaMaskRapper]

I like the Blade Settera to got but why does that back piece come off for the time? And how do you put it back without having a blade Setter? Because it seems like the blade Setter. The only thing that will fit it back into place.

[@DerrickCuffie]

Corona sent me here LoL 😂. Good clip man...pray for me lol

No problem bro, keep up the good work..

[@Dre_P_]

+ADTheBarber I have a question for you bro. Once I took off the top of my outliners, I noticed that the spring for the tensioner was crooked and cocked to the left. This is my first time attempting to adjust these clippers. I never dropped them or banged them beforehand. Will this be an issue for my adjustment?

[@MillerHighLifez420]

Great info! Shitty focus on the cam tho !

[@VERITEVERITA]

No matter what came out over the past 35+ years I kept my t outliner. But as I got new blades I decided I had to find the right video! Sure glad I bumped into you! So much has improved for fading and cutting! Over the years. Glad I found you! I’ll subscribe and look for recommendations. Thank You 😊

[@jaykob2482]

Very informative vid, AD! QUESTION: What is the best blade setter on the market, in your opinion? I've seen a few different ones.

[@nsavernon]

I use these www.amazon.com/dp/B00ATH2YL2/?coliid=IZE1IQ12JAOQ8&colid=8MA0494UL2V&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[@iGotNEXT_Mack]

i know your clippers get hot that tension screw messed up

[@edwardrobinson6604]

taking that bottom screw out of the casing makes the clipper more powerful was a new one on me thanks for that I appreciate it. 💯

[@reallivejohnpreston]

Edward Robinson why

[@OGPapiFresc]

This will also make sure the blade doesn't move as it's supposed to. Instead of side to side , it'll move in circles and back and forth therefore eventually causing damage to the tension bar.

[@Octane916]

Bro I absolutely want to thank you for making this video! For years I’ve been trying to get my outliner II and t outliners barber quality sharp and in my unsuccessful attempts my clippers have not been solving my razor bump issue. Your tutorial has my clippers hitting and shaving my face effortlessly. I was on the verge of throwing both of my clippers away because I thought they were too old but nope once I got that above half moon on my tension spring I was golden! Only thing is my tension spring never clicked in to place but I tightened the screw enough for the half moon and I was good also the one screw in my case trick didn’t work I needed both screws or my outliners rattled too much! Overall absolute 10/10 video thanks again!!!!

[@SilkCityOG]

Dope bruh. I should just mail u mine and let u hookem up

[@keithjohnson1499]

What can I do to my outliners to fix them. Sometimes they just stop cutting. The motor is still working and the blades appear to be moving but they aren't cutting. I oil them and wait 10 minutes and they seem to work again but not sure why they do this and they do it everytime I use them. Any help would be appreciated.

[@tonysiler3467]

This was a great video. Clear with good explanations. Third one I've watched today, but you did a fantastic job Bro. I followed every point step by step. Everything worked like a charm.

[@crwuser]

Exactly what I needed no surprises. Did just what you said to do and it’s cutting like a dream. Thanks! 10/10!

So this is what Larry wheels did before bodybuilding 🤔

[@AlexTechie]

I haven't tried it yet, but I must say, this appears to be one of the best videos (if not the best) when it comes to adjusting the tensioner. Clear instructions, clear picture with no blur. Thanks.

[@byronrockett7958]

These new barbers take guys lining back.Thats not gd

[@PeterJinKang]

What does adjusting the tension do?

[@nsavernon]

I'm curious myself.

[@amadeus5403]

Puts pressure on the moving blade to create friction. Too little tension pressure and the blades will pull the hair instead cutting and too much tension will cause the trimmer to fuse out and possibly mess up the motor or the positive/negative cables that connect to the motor.

[@CJ-er2qh]

Thanks

[@elfolie]

man thank you for help

[@LidiaUdrija]

Hi thanks for your video. I'm in cosmo school and they gave us Wahl.... Any idea how to adjust them or what blade setter to get for that brand?

+Lidia Udrija No problem, Yes I am familiar with adjusting wahls blades as well, not sure if they make blade setters for them but I can look into it and let you know!

[@billnott5811]

Can anyone tell me how long the blades last , when used by only one person and properly oiled regularly , before they need to be replaced ? I just bought my first T-outliner and boy o boy am I impressed. Wondering if I should buy one set , or several sets of extra blades ? By the quality look of them I'm guessing they last quite a while , I was hoping someone with experience might be able to tell me if a set of blades might last 1 year , or 5 years ect.... thanks so very much from Alaska...
