Description
A straightforward start with the Heiniger Saphir
The Heiniger Saphir Basic cordless clipper brings the Saphir blade system and single-speed operation together in a plain black finish. Supplied with one lithium-ion battery and a No. 10 blade, it is a useful starting point for groomers building a cordless kit or experienced owners who groom at home.
The package gives you a choice: start with one battery and plan charging around your sessions, or add a compatible spare as your workload grows.
What you get from the Basic model
-
One removable battery: cordless handling around the grooming table.
-
2,650 double strokes per minute: a single working speed with simple controls.
-
No. 10 blade included: approximately 1.5mm cutting length.
-
Snap-on blade fitting: change blades for different coat lengths and grooming tasks.
Build your blade and battery selection
The Saphir Basic uses A5-style detachable blades. Choose from Heiniger clipper blades and compatible A5 ranges such as Oster A5, Andis and Wahl Competition. Select the cutting length to suit the finish you want; the supplied No. 10 produces a short cut.
Attachment combs can offer longer lengths when paired with the blade specified by their manufacturer. Check that combination carefully, rather than choosing a comb by length alone.
A Heiniger Saphir spare battery lets you keep another battery ready. If you prefer a complete package with two batteries from the outset, compare the blue Saphir cordless clipper.
Care and support
Remove trapped hair, oil the blades regularly and check blade heat while clipping. Follow the supplied instructions for charging, cleaning and storage. This clipper has a 12-month guarantee.
