Best for	Barbers who love the corded Master and want all-day cordless battery with a near-indestructible metal body.	A barber who keeps a clipper for years and wants the parts that wear — blade, housing, grip — to be the parts that come off.
Verdict	The Andis Master Cordless #12660 pairs the familiar all-metal Master body with a 6,500 SPM rotary motor, an adjustable carbon-steel #000–#1 blade and up to 90 minutes of cordless runtime.	A brushless clipper built to be worked on rather than replaced. The Phaze blade detaches and adjusts, the housings and grips swap out, and it runs corded or cordless, so a chair that needs it plugged in all day is not a problem. At 7,000 SPM it is a steady cutter rather than the fastest in the catalogue, and the brushless motor is the part that keeps it that way over time.
