Verdict

The reVITE does something no other clipper in this catalogue does: it takes both an adjustable blade and a detachable one. That removes the usual choice between a lever clipper for blending and a detachable-blade clipper for bulk, and it is the reason the tool earns a place next to the Master. The rotary motor runs on a ball-bearing drive with rubber mounts and gasketing, which is Andis addressing the vibration its rotary platform is known for. Twelve metal attachment combs ship in the box rather than plastic.

✔ PROS

• Takes both adjustable and detachable blades

• Ball-bearing rotary drive with rubber mounts to cut vibration

• Twelve metal attachment combs included

• Aluminium housing on the 86000

• Two-hour lithium-ion runtime

✘ CONS

• Heaviest clipper here at 11.5 oz — noticeable across a long shift

• Rotary at 5,500 SPM, so it does not match a brushless motor on raw speed

• The dual-blade mount adds bulk to the head
