[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1666115, member: 37941"] Here is my problem -- I grew up using a Sunbeam clipper that was used once per year and is evidently still going strong (my cousin has it). It's had the blades sharpened twice in what is now a 50+ year life. For the life of me I can't keep a set of blades working beyond 2-3 years. I've tried different blade types/sizes/brands. I'm only clipping 20 animals or less annually and JUST for freeze-branding -- so a 8"x16" rectangle. There is no way these blades get dull doing that few animals is there? Or do they get dull that fast? In short -- what is my user error? [/QUOTE]
