That incident at a shop in Brooklyn changed how I store my clippers
Last Thursday I was working a double at this busy barbershop in Bushwick, and I knocked a $180 cordless clipper off the counter. It hit the tile floor and the blade gap got all messed up, took me an hour to realign it. Ever since then I've been keeping all my tools in a magnetic strip on the wall instead of just laying them flat. Anyone else had something break from a stupid drop like that?

Funny you say that because I used to think magnetic strips were overkill or just a gimmick honestly. But after I dropped my own clippers last summer and bent the blade housing I had to replace the whole thing for like a hundred bucks. That was the moment I switched to a wall strip and I won't go back. The peace of mind alone is worth it cause now I don't have to worry about knocking anything over when I'm reaching for a comb or product. Plus tools stay clean off the counter where they get hair and dust all over them. So yeah I was skeptical but that one drop changed my whole setup.

Right, and the counter cleanup thing is a huge plus I didn't even think about, @stella_roberts. Hair clippings and dust just seem to vanish when everything's off the counter. Did you swap your whole tool lineup to magnetic stuff or just the clippers?
