i don't like pet clipper kits. everything usually breaks and its a waste of money. and you don't need the power deshedder that comes with the first kit. yorkies don't have an undercoat and the tool would just be damaging his skin and coat.

I prefer Andis clippers. The one I have is so quiet and light, plus it fits great in my hand. Its a little too pricey though for your needs.

Before I was a groomer I too found that taking Morgan to the groomer every 6 weeks was annoying and would be expensive. It was about $55. So i figured if i bought a good clipper and some blades I would be saving money in the long run. I ended up purchasing the Andis Ultra Edge, along with a 30, 10, 7F, 5F, and 4F blade so I can experiment with lengths. 30 for pads and ears, 10 for sanitary, and the 7, 5, and 4 for different short body lengths.

When i went to grooming school they gave me an Andis two speed clipper which was slightly less powerful then the Ultra Edge and a little cheaper. Good for small dogs with good coats but not for the big hairies and matted messes that I get in the shop.

Sorry to ramble, but the point I was trying to make was to spend the money on a quality clipper and blades now, so that you won't have to pay to replace the crappy one later, or pay for crappy haircuts.
