How to Change Andis Blades

Andis manufactures clippers and trimmers for people and pets. Their quality designs are used widely in the barber and beauty industry to cut hair and trim necklines. Professional groomers use the heavy duty clippers for a variety of pets, from small dogs to horses and cattle for show grooming. When your clipper blades do not push straight through hair but bind and stop moving, it is time to replace the blades.
