I seem to be less than coordinated when trying my own grooming and thought if I could do away with the cord attaching me to the wall, it might give a little more freedom to move about. I was confused by the 1 3/4" blade when most say they come with a #10. I don't know the comparison. Do you know or have you heard any reviews on cordless clippers? Thanks in advance.

BTW I love my Peanut for trimming (you recommended them to me a couple of years ago) and was not sure I even needed to go with a set of clippers. But the cordless idea has me very interested.
Since I groom, I really don't like the cordless, but that's my preferance. Not sure what to tell you about the 1 3/4 blade. The only time I use a cordless is at the show grounds when I need to do touch ups on the ears or foot pads, then I use a small Whal cordless. Most clippers come with the #10. But, I rarely use it. Unless I'm doing a real super cut down or use it with a comb attachment. I usually work with a 7F, 5F, 4F and 3F.

I've used my Peanut with the comb attachments on puppies, but as they get older the larger clippers work faster and better. And since I groom, using the Peanuts for actual clipping really puts a wear on them and they need to be replaced to often.
