WAHL Super Taper Classic Professional Corded Hair Clippers for Barbers & Home Use

The Super Taper is the clipper most barbers learned on, and it is still in production largely unchanged, which tells you something about how well the original was judged.

Power comes from Wahl's V5000 electromagnetic motor, built for continuous heavy use and unbothered by thick or wet hair. Corded, so the power is constant from the first cut of the day to the last.

• V5000 electromagnetic motor for consistent, snag-free cutting
• High-carbon steel blades, precision ground and chrome plated against rust
• Thumb-adjustable taper lever for blending without changing blades
• Ergonomic body shaped for long sessions

The taper lever is the feature that made this clipper a standard. Nudged with the thumb mid-pass, it changes the cutting length by a fraction, which is exactly how a taper gets built. Learning to work that lever teaches you more about cutting than any guard set will.

Suits busy shops and anyone cutting hair regularly at home.

Corded also means there is no battery to service, which is the quiet reason so many old Super Tapers are still running in shops. The trade is a cable to work around, and for a clipper that mostly stays at one station that is barely a trade at all.
