[@petersanchez411]

Dude you just saved me time and money from returning some clippers and buying more expensive ones. My old ones broke that I've had for years and bought some inexpensive ones and 1st thing I noticed was they didn't adjust as short as my old ones. Started looking for other clippers online and kept seeing the term zero gap and looked it up on KZbin and your video was the 1st I saw. Reopened the clippers I had packaged back up and did as u said and they are just as good as my old clippers that I really liked. Thanks so much for the help!!!

On the whal home cut pro. You can push it all the way. All you do is loosen the two screws push the blade back all the way and tighten while holding or pressing against countertop. Then take your fingernail and make sure you feel the bottom blade before the top(the one that moves). When cutting hair don’t press too hard or it can scratch. I just did this for the first time and the results were unbelievable. The clippers cut like a razor now.

Thanks for taking your time it was very helpful

[@ayeboi2780]

Great vid, worked perfectly for me

[@-johnny-deep-]

Seems easy. So if all you need to do is zero gap the blade, you would just have to loosen the two main screws and adjust the position, and you don't need to take it all apart, correct (like, say, on a brand new clipper)? Also, since you said to still have the top blade extend *slightly* further than the bottom blade, "zero gap" would really be "tiny gap", where "tiny" is something like 1/4 mm?

[@juanpalomares5899]

i been watching your videos great advice! im learning to cut hair and was wondering what the zero gap is for?

[@TipsforClips]

Thanks! Good question: I briefly mention at the end that it's for precision, but a better reason is that if you're ever using the clippers without any blades, you'll be able to get a really short cut. So if you're using the clippers in the short setting without any guards, it'll be as close to a zero as you can get it. Does that make sense?

[@aymakam3789]

Hello, it is not recommended to zero-gap a clipper especially if it has been in use for a long time cause the upper blade will draw a line (groove) in the lower one and whatever you try to be precise and align them back to the previous position you will never succeed so you will loose the sharpness of the blades and you might be forced to through both of them and get new sharp ones. I would like to thank you for the channel and for the simple, concise and at the same time very rich in the most wanted information videos you present.

Tighten, oil, and straighten the blades

[@sierratrey]

I have a Wahl Pro. If I loosen the screw on the gap lever it allows for moving the blades to exactly where I want them. Is that the same as unscrewing the 2 screws holding the blades together? It seemed like the easiest way. Although I still have to disassemble it to clean and oil. But will the blades remain zero that way?

[@cjdig86]

The screw on the lever only tightens or loosens the resistance of the lever. It doesn’t allow for adjusting the position of the blades.

will this work with all clippers of wahl?

[@trkersten]

Unfortunately this does not work with a Wahl Super Taper Cordless. The blade can not be moved as soon as the screws are in position. Or am I doing it wrong?

[@trkersten]

123 654 Nope, won’t work because the two holes in the blade and the two screws holding the blade have the same diameter. When I loosen the screws the blade is still fixed. It can only be moved when the screws have been removed. Maybe they have changed it with the model I have (Wahl Super Taper Cordless). I have now used two different screws to make it work like you have described. Thanks.

[@ReeF83]

Do you recommend to zero gap if you will be using it to line up your beard?

[@tedgtou]

@Sheriff. 0 gapping is for fading, it helps with removing leaving fades lines for better blends. For beard, I would use a trim liner, they give a crispier lines and easier to handle.

[@desmondmitchell5602]

Thanks man u the best

[@Scardrewpro]

So is it best to have this type of clipper as your fading or balding?

[@TipsforClips]

Scardrewpro, zero gapping helps you cut shorter, so it’s good for a balding haircut, though you’ll need something other than just clippers to entirely bald it out. It also helps with precision

[@joeblack621]

It appears that most excellent clippers can cut hair to 0.8 mm but if you have a good shaver than it should be able to cut the hair from 0.8 mm to 0 mm safely.

[@t.terrell7037]

So for super low, balding haircut to get the look you need clippers and trimmers together? You can’t just use trimmers, like T Outliners by themselves, if your hair is already short and you want it super close? Thanks

[@viktorh9601]

Hi! Can I do it on a Wahl Icon too? I'm going to buy a clipper, I'v chosen the Icon, and I'd like a nearly zero gap cutting (about 0.1-0.3mm), because I want to use the clipper also on my face "shaving". I'll use the machine only at home, I'm not a professional. Will I Surelyt be able to do this with the Icon? Thanks for Your help! Viktor

[@TipsforClips]

Viktor H, I’ve never tried the Icon. You can certainly zero gap Wahl clippers, but if you want to shave your face, you will not get a clean shave as you would with a blade. Zero with clippers is not as sharp as trimmers or blades

[@viktorh9601]

Thank You! My goal on my face isn't a totally smooth skin so it'll good for me if it is adjustable to a near zero gap as You told. My doubt was only about that Icon's adjustability as in the video I'v seen.

Do you know if adding a thicker cord like the ones on the big trimmers to any small trimmer will add power to it and help with overheating..

[@TipsforClips]

Sorry, I'm not sure

[@joeblack621]

Doubt it! This is because the same power would be outputted to the motor. The motor is the main thing that generates the heat. The best type of quality motor arguably is the Rotary motor. besides the quality of the hair clipper, obviously.

[@ixionn563]

Nope, the trimmer will still get the same input voltage no matter how much you upgrade the power cord, the cord included with it is designed to be thick enough of wire to carry the power. Unless your cord is getting hot to the touch or has serious damage such as exposed copper wire, there is no reason to replace it. You also risk voiding the warranty. Only thing I can think of is make sure the blades are oiled and that the machine is not clogged with hair and debris, if you're mechanically minded lightly adding oil the to motor bearings may help it, but I doubt this is the issue. (This is advice for everyone)
