The Andis RACD Corded Clipper is a standout in the DIY grooming category, offering professional-level features in a compact and accessible design. It is the only light-duty clipper in the range to feature a detachable blade system, allowing you to swap blades easily for different tasks. This functionality not only provides greater precision but also extends the life of your tool by allowing for easier cleaning and blade sharpening.
Designed specifically for single to medium-coated breeds, the RACD is powered by a maintenance-free motor that is both quiet and surprisingly robust. It is engineered to provide a smooth, snag-free finish for full-body grooming on smaller pets or detailed touch-ups on larger ones. The clipper’s lightweight body ensures it is easy to maneuver around sensitive areas, making it a favorite for owners who want to achieve professional-looking results without the weight and bulk of a commercial-grade machine.
This comprehensive kit is ready to use right out of the box, featuring two different blade sizes and six attachment combs. This variety allows you to customize the hair length across different parts of your pet's body. Whether you are maintaining a Shih Tzu’s coat or tidying up a Pomeranian, the RACD provides a versatile, reliable, and high-quality solution for home grooming.

Why You’ll Love It
The Andis RACD is a unique "hybrid" clipper, it gives you the professional benefit of interchangeable blades without the heavy weight of a pro-series clipper. You will appreciate the #7FC blade included in the kit, which is the industry favorite for leaving a smooth "finish cut" on the body. The push-button blade release makes it incredibly easy to switch between lengths, even if you are new to grooming.
You will find it particularly useful for breeds with finer hair, as the motor and blade combination glides through the coat without pulling. Because it is compact, it is much easier to use for "sanitary trims" and detail work than larger, more expensive models. It is a smart, versatile investment that bridges the gap between basic home trimmers and expensive professional gear.
Usage Tips
Practical Advice for the Andis RACD Clipper
- Use the #10 blade for sensitive areas like the belly, face, and paws, and the #7FC for the back and sides to get a smooth, uniform look.
- For the best results with detachable blades, ensure your pet is bathed, dried, and brushed through to prevent dulling the teeth.
- Apply a few drops of the included blade oil to the teeth before you start and after you finish to keep the blades running cool and smooth.
- Use the push-button release to remove the blade occasionally during long sessions to brush out any hair trapped in the housing.
- If using the attachment combs, snap them over the #10 blade; they work best on a short base blade for a consistent finish.
