Are Oster and Andis Blades interchangeable
« on: September 10, 2011, 01:49:36 PM »
My Andis pro pet clippers have died mid clip so I need to get some new ones urgently. I have been looking on the Groomers website and have found some Oster 2 speed ones I quite like but I have Andis blades so wonder if they will fit - does anyone know.
Thanks

The Oster blade's fit the Andis Clippers so i presume it would be the same for Oster Clippers  :-\
Personally though i have tried Oster Clippers & found them too heavy/bulky, so decided to buy the Andis 2 speed, which are fab.  :D

Yes they should do, but you can always check with the retailer you buy from to make doubly sure.  ;) I too would choose Andis over Oster though and have had both. As a professional groomer I love my Andis super 2 speed clippers. They work hard for me and have never let me down.  ;) This is only my opinion of course.  :D

Am also an Andis fan - having had Oster before.  Find the Andis lighter, cooler and more comfortable to handle.

Thanks everyone, I will take all of your advice and go for the Andis 2 speed ones instead. At least I know the blades I already have will fit too. I would rather choose based on other people's recommendations and you have all said the same. Your advice is very much appreciated.

Another Andis fan here. I hated my Oster clippers, too heavy and unwieldy, so sold them and bought Andis 2 Speed - much lighter and easier to handle.
