The history of Andis Company dates back to 1921 when Matthew Andis started making clipper blades with John Oster and Henry Meltzer. The trio lasted for a year and went their separate ways (each to start his own company back then). Andis immediately developed the electric clipper which was widely accepted. Till today, barbers and hairdressers prefer Andis.
However, Andis is not just popular for nothing. The company is known for making innovative products that solve problems for the modern man. One of such products is the Andis Easy Cut 10-piece Haircutting kit. It is an all-in-one product that provides you the convenience of buying one product that contains everything that you need.
This is a product you might want to consider when starting your adventure as a hairstylist or as a barber. It is also a great upgrade if your old clippers and scissors are worn out and you want a new product in your arsenal.

Product Description
The kit contains an adjustable magnetic motor clipper and four attachment combs (with sizes: 1/8“, 1/4″, 3/8“, and 1/2“). A protective blade guard is also included, alongside stainless steel shears, barber comb, and lubricating blade oil. It is considered an all-in-one kit that works for every aspiring hairdresser, barber, and people who are looking for a grooming device that can be used at home.
The product is very handy and has a dimension of 10.5 x 3.2 x 6 inches. It weighs 1.4 pounds. It is light, but not travel light for some. It’s still compact compared to other products because you have almost everything in one box. It is available in 2 colors: chrome and silver. It is made in China.
Power And Performance
The clipper included in the kit features a high-speed magnetic motor that can give you 7,200 cutting strokes per minute. The motor is quiet without compromising the power that it provides. The chassis of the shaver is a break-resistant housing that is engineered and made to last while giving you the comfort-ability that you are looking for.
The guide combs are numbered for quick recognition and easier use. It lessens the time you spend looking for the correct size, thus giving you more time to make precise cuts.
The barber scissors definitely get the job done and it is also made to last. Cutting hair with scissors is as easy as pie because of its’ sharpness. It is low maintenance and can last long with proper usage and storage.
Efficiency is one of the qualities a hairdresser and a barber must-have. This Andis hair buzzer provides everything you need for an easy and efficient cutting job. The performance is superb and you can find that top-notch performance in just one kit.

The blade of the clipper included is made of high-quality stainless steel. It is not self-sharpening, but it is easy to maintain. A blade oil is included for cleaning. Four attachment combs are included for an easy cutting experience. It performs well on either dry or wet hair ( with minimal failures).
Design And Durability
The 10-piece kit is simple in design, with no fancy additions. Andis focuses more on giving a premium performance than to include unnecessary attachments. The clippers and scissors are just normal in design as well as the accessories included.
