Wahl Peanut Classic is the legendary compact clipper and trimmer that has earned a permanent place on professional barber stations around the world, delivering powerful, precision performance in a palm-sized package that simply goes everywhere.
The Wahl Peanut Classic has been a professional barbershop staple for generations, and its enduring reputation speaks to just how well-engineered this tool truly is. Measuring just four inches long and weighing a mere four ounces, the Peanut Classic fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, giving you an unparalleled level of control and maneuverability during detailing work, dry shaving, and finishing cuts. Despite its compact size, the Wahl Peanut Classic is powered by a rotary motor capable of precise, consistent cutting — making it an ideal choice for trimming, edging, and detail work in tight areas like around the ears, neckline, and sideburns. The Peanut Classic features a detachable blade system for quick, easy cleaning and blade swaps. Its professional-grade chemical-resistant cord measures seven feet three inches, giving barbers freedom of movement without the tangles. Wahl has long been an industry leader in professional clipper manufacturing, and the Peanut Classic represents the company's commitment to producing tools that meet the rigorous demands of professional use every single day.

How to Use
Begin with clean, dry hair for best results. Attach the desired cutting guide comb for length control, or use the Wahl Peanut Classic without a guide for close detail work and edging. Hold the clipper with the blade facing down along the hairline and work in smooth, controlled strokes against the direction of hair growth. For freehand detailing around the ears, neckline, and sideburns, work with slow deliberate motions to maintain precision. After each use, remove the detachable blade, brush away clippings with the included cleaning brush, apply a few drops of blade oil, and store with the red blade guard in place to protect the blade edge.

- Trimming around the ears, sideburns, neckline, and facial hair where a full-size clipper is too bulky
- Barbers who travel for on-location cuts and need a lightweight, portable professional-grade tool
