John Tome I think magnetic motors in general are not the best for bulk removal. They are however super quiet. The biggest difference on the 2nd generation 50 cal is the metal plate they added to the lever.

I modified my caliber 50 cal mag 3rd generation, i brought a philty blendz bracket, andis master screws and a andis master bottom (still) blade. Used the stock cutter blade. Love it the mod boosted the performance..
I have been using wahl senior since it has been released and they are brilliant clippers. It will cut through any hair without any hassle. Calibre might have a longer battery life. But what is the point to have charging stand. Once you finished a haircut you put back on charge again. I would rather have a clipper with pure power which will cut any hair. Wahl been in the business over 100 years. Calibre has long way to prove themselves as they are new brand.

How is it going so far? Any update and which gen do you have? Did you also used a wahl senior how is the 50 cal compared to the senior or any other clipper? Cause I have a wahl senior and want to switch to 50 cal as my clipper doesn't cut really well I don't hear that crunchy noise to know that you cut or not

i like the 50 cal better mostly because the taper lever has 5 click levels as opposed to 4
Battery life is useful to know, because it's a good thing when mobile...but in the shop, I don't see why that would matter. Seniors are more powerful, it's not even close and now the Cordless Seniors notify you, when you have about 20 minutes of juice left. I suppose it's really a question of whether or not you want a clipper that opens up to a 1, or a clipper that opens up to a half. As far as chargers go, why aren't your wires going through your station and into the cubby, so that you can just easy grab it? Another thing, I don't know any barbers that work with clippers in singles, they all deal in doubles - my clipper says it's low, I swap to the other one. Rotary motors have more moving parts, which is why they break sooner....but they're much more powerful than magnetic motors because they have more torque, that's not up for debate. I'd say that functionally speaking, the only thing I like about the 50 Cal is the click lever. Functionali, the Cordless Senior is better but not by so much that I could dismiss the 50 Cal - It's moreso a "Horses for courses" kind of thing.
I can relate only mine died within the first month i had them but they got replaced. I can also agree the longevity of the cordless senior battery SUCKS. I may have to check out them calibers!
What's the difference between a magnetic motor vs. a brushless motor like a Babyliss FX? Also, does the 50 Cal get hot?
@gus7130
2 жыл бұрын
brushless motors have more torque and more efficiency. A 12 watts magnetic motor perform like a 10 watts brushless.
The wahl senior last longer then 70 minutes I can cut like 3 or 4 heads and I take 40 minutes a cut. Plus if you have 2 it can last you the whole day. The babyliss pro fx says it last 2 hrs and you can only do like 2 cuts and it’s dead lol. Plus who would sacrifice speed for power!? You can’t even use that clipper as your only clipper. In my opinion you’re probably sponsored. Wahl has been making clippers for over 100 years and they’re reliable clippers with the best warranty.

The battery life is for amateurs, not for a busy barber on a packed schedule. Wahl is embarrassing with the battery is packs. Wahl will last me half a day then die. They also lose power when near low. 50 Cal will last me 2-3 full days and maintain high power. Wahl is a joke and all you are paying for is the brand.

Dorian Barber I have been cutting hair for 23 years. My opinion on the wahl is that they are a professional clipper. For one you need 2 of any cordless clipper. One charging one in use. Also if you have a accident or something happens to a liar you still have a backup. But even if I only had one pair I can still get a full days use of one charge because I use my andis pulse ZR do do most of my bulk work and some fading. But I really only use the wahl for fading and detail. But yeah if you only have one pair and use them to do a full haircut you can’t expect them to last. I’ve had mine since the second round when they where released and haven’t had any issues. I would be interested to know what all clippers you have at your station. 🤔🤷🏾♂️

It was either this product or the ANDIS MASTER CLIPPERS which are 50 to 80 dollars more but have a standard adapter for charging. I THINK YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION BY HOW HARD YOU THREW THAT CALIBER REPEATEDLY ON ITS STAND. I LIKE PRODUCTS WITH A CULT FOLLOWING.

Hmmm. Idk heavy clipper never bothered me. I’m currently home with the flu 🤧 but maybe (if I remember) when I go back to work I’ll try and measure the weight or something. I have a senior too. Either way you won’t miss your Senior. It has just poor battery life and the power distribution throughout the battery life mean the clipper is noticeably weaker after like 30 min of use. Caliber maintains higher power throughout its battery life and well, the battery life is the best I’ve used.

50 Cal has 2 blade types. One blade is the Tapar Blade and the other if the Fade Blade. The Fade Blade is flat and cuts much closer. The fade blade does pull so I dont use it. The Taper Blade however does not pull at all. I prefer the taper blade.

justen searles You need to relearn to cut whenever you change from the master’s to anything. It look me over a year of cutting with the Caliber’s to start fading better than my corded master’s.
