What is the Stretch Bracket? Gamma Boosted Fusion / Faper Blade

I get tons of the same questions in every single video and today we're going to try and answer those! What is my go to clipper? Do I still mainly use the Gamma Boosted? What is the stretch bracket and what does it do? Is there a difference between the fusion blade and faper blade?

Welcome!

[@oriolinton]

im glad that i looked at this video before i emailed you about the stretch bracket. I was thinking that with the addition of the bracket, you are able to get a smoother transition from your no guard closed to open.. only thing is that my clippers are set so well and crunch so well that im afraid to take them apart and have to adjust as i go forward with more cuts. I dont think they will ever be the same if I alter them now. My 5 stars and designers went trough this.. my designers were the ones but when i adjusted them they were never the same.. got them decent but never the same. My 5 stars on the other hand were less desireble for me especially not being the best with the fade blade right away. i changed to a faper blade and they got louder but not better.. i know its a customize at your own risk type of thing, but is it really worth it when you have some hitters but dont really want to lose the ability for the equipment to remain with a premium vibe... i will also say that i dont really like how im not able visually see the difference from my first guideline put in with a trimmer, to the no guard open. My no guard open is still so low that it hard to distinguish the lower guideline under it.. thanks for the information and all the good content.

Right after I watched this I bought them, and the MB grape guards. I've never done more than clean up my neckline, behind my ears, and my sideburns, I don't know much about clippers so seeing that this looks sleek and has a click lever made me instantly want to buy it and try to fade my own hair. also, I know many people prefer the faper blade. is the stock fade blade difficult to use or whats the difference, Any tips ??

[@Seancutshair]

Nice! And no the fade blade is fine lots of people love them. Just not my preference but you’ll be fine with it

[@houseofshavesbarbershop]

Do you have a video where you go in-depth on how you connect the length you cut with the stretch bracket to the length you cut with the regular taper blade?

I have the gamma boosted, I’m new(cutting my own hair) but I’m having trouble with fading/blending in (I always see the lines and can’t blend it. Do you recommend taper or fusion blade? I mainly try to do blowout mid tapers. But yeah I would like to know what you think! Thanks in advance!

[@Seancutshair]

Either blade, I’d just stay away from the fade blade.

[@nkb1727]

Dope video! Could you explain the difference between a staggertooth blade and a standard blade? Like why would I want a staggertooth?

[@Seancutshair]

I don’t use stagger tooth never really could see the benefit. They say it cuts softer almost like a thinning shear. Idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tommy.97]

When I take out the clicker and have the stretch bracket installed, I find that with pressure, the blade will start closing… like from fully open to where the 5th notch is

[@Seancutshair]

Have to tighten the lever enough so that doesn’t happen

[@a34rwl]

You da man!

[@user-md2jh2hu7j]

I just got mine in the mail, I also purchased the faper blade. I put the stretch bracket on as well but for some reason when I go to put the blade on and tighten the screws all the way the right side doesn't move but the left side does as if I have the screw loose but I do not. Any suggestions, or reasons this may cause?

If I’m using the instincts and the boosted is it necessary to add a fusion to my boosted or keep 1 with fusion and 1 with fade blade ?

[@Seancutshair]

That’s totally up to you. I don’t care for the fade blade so that’s why I always take it off

[@jordanrgreenway]

What lens are you using now? These newer vids looking super good.

[@WOGBOI7]

Can you make a video where you switch the clipper on after you change blade as they don't work the same and get loose overtime and Camshaft starts to make loud noise. If you show how fix and eliminate the sound that comes from VibRATION think this it will be the holy grail to not replacing clippers IMO

[@Seancutshair]

I wouldn’t say it gets loose but yes they get loud. Nothing to do with the blade swap though. They come with an extra cam follower so you can swap it when it gets loud

[@MYIbeats]

Do I have to use the taper blade if I use stretch bracket or can. I use stretch bracket with original blade

[@Seancutshair]

You can use any of the blades

[@j-reztv3507]

Do you have to use the stretch bracket in order to use the faper blade properly or is it just preference? I just ordered my gamma and faper blade

[@Seancutshair]

Just preference

[@marriuszek]

@Seancutshair i have a problem with original bracker on my alpha. It looks like it is crooked a little. When you switch from lever completly closed to one point higher, only one side of a bracket moves. It is the side on the side of lever. When i was trying to squeeze it a little to fit bracket slider properly, it starts to move very resistive. I was also trying oiling it to perform a better slide. Is there any proper way to fix it? Any other brand does not have this problem. :(

[@Seancutshair]

Never had that problem so unfortunately I don’t know how to fix it. Hate to hear it you’re not the first

[@Alizendehdel996]

So I found the solution! The blade is wobbling due to the guard lever not being screwed tight enough, I know in the video Sean mentions to not screw it too tight as it will be difficult to push it up or down, which is true but the solution is that you used the RED lever as it has a slightly different shape to the black lever it allows it to tighten further without it rubbing against the side of the clipper body. Long story short follow everything in the video above, but USE THE RED LEVER INSTEAD OF THE BLACK (it will not have a the spring or the little stop for the click like the black one or gold one does to begin with) and make sure it’s as tight as possible whilst still being able to manoeuvre between guard open/closed. Thank you for the video bro @seancutschair

Hi mate. What the difference between the deep tooth cutting blade and the shallow tooth cutting blade. And will I need to change the cutting blade if I put the faper blade on the boosted thanks man

I think the deep tooth is required if you want to use the stretch bracket. Just deeper grooves between the teeth to feed hair easier

I have a question if you can answer it? I tied to put the bracket on and the lever screw just keeps turning, screw won’t come off, is this a defect or do you happen to have a solution for this, any help is greatly appreciated

[@Seancutshair]

If it’s an older clipper it had plastic threads instead of metal. It’s more than likely stripped. You could try using lock tite to hold it

I stopped using my Gamma fade blade or the taper blade... it gets unbearably hot. I just put a Wahl blade on it with a ceramic cutting blade, the boosted gets really loud with a regular steel Wahl cutting blade. I love the Boosted, great clipper but I absolutely hate how the blade wiggles on the bracket... I heard applying threadlocker on the lever screw will fix that, but that is a poor manufacturing defect. My next clipper will the the trusted Magic Clip or I'll just go back to the Seniors.

[@Seancutshair]

I haven’t had any issues with mine I’m on my second set. Don’t know what’s causing all that

[@Swiftsounds]

have sort of the same issue. they’re a little on the warm side after short use

[@saidzueke4782]

Nothing beats wahl blades

[@nurulamin2992]

Just a quick update: my colleague "dropped" my Boosted and the clocks somehow "fell out" 😒.. but now I find the bracket doesn't wiggle and the blade is secure. I have now reverted back to the original Gamma Boosted cutting blade with the faper blade and man! This machine is awesome. I find the blade still does warm up slightly, but the secure blade without the clicks combined with the faper blade is a winner! I pretty much have a Magic Clip blade setup on my Wahl corded Icons, but the Boosted is now my go-to. Great clipper! 🎉
