Most combs only go from 1/8" up to 1". If you want to use a comb but leave a longer lengths, Laube makes a comb kit that goes form 1"-2". I personally use a #40 blade under neath my plastic combs...but that being said I recently switched to Wahl metal combs which leaves a nicer finish and I have not used my plastic combs since. With the Wahl metal combs you MUST use a #30 or #15 (it will break the teeth off of your #40f)

Make sure you have quick stop...nothing worse then quicking a nail by accident and having no way to stop the bleeding.

Ear cleaner is something you may want to add.

Dematter.

With you clippers you should be also investing in a good quality blade cleaner. I once agian prefer Laube the smell is nice, Kelco makes a good cleaner and Oster hasa decent cleaner as well.
CLipper oil...do not let your blades rust!!

Do not get Cool Lube or any other spray lubriant. Google Blade Guyz they have instructional websites on clipper care.

A place to groom them, possibly a grooming arm and safety loop.

Flea comb...not just for fleas! Will get those teeny tiny knots out better then a fine tooth comb, can get eye goobies better too
