We, too, have a set of Wahl clippers. I don't remember seeing any "MADE IN USA" stamps on it, but it would not surprise me if it did. Rather, I'd be delighted! One of the ways we've saved money over the past, oh, 8 or so years has been by cutting our own hair. We manage to make ourselves look presentable to the general public, and what more could you ask for? Well, for the clippers to be American made, I suppose.

I freaking love Wahl. When we had dogs, I bought a single pair of their clippers just because I figured 35 bucks was cheaper than the over a 100 we spent trying to get them groomed from time to time. Boy was that a killer investment for two heelers. We saved so much money using those and the clippers outlasted the dogs.

I wish I was good at using something like that on myself, but I'm not allowed to cut my hair anymore since around late college. Would use it on the kids but they're all girls so.....

Can vouch for how great a product Wahl makes. I need to pick something of theirs up to keep my facial hair in check.

May I present their most expensive trimmer, assembled in the USA:

Okay ;

I'm another long time (years) WAHL owner / user who's entirely satisfied .

I began with their nose hair clipping tool it was battery powered and still buzzing along when I wore the blades out .

I have a regular Barber as cutting your own hair is beyond tricky .

She suggested I buy a Wahl "Peanut" mustache trimmer, I try to avoid battery powered anything when I can and the Peanut plugs in .

I didn't notice if it's U.S.A. assembled (presumably from Chinese parts) or not but it works champs all you needs do is buy a mustache brush to ensure the hairs are straight _before_ you begin using it .

Home haircuts ~ shades of the 1950's and 1960's, I remember them well .

There's certainly an unforgiving learning curve to cutting your own hair. The plus side, as a man, is that you can simply buzz down if you really screw it up!

Mine is old enough it may well have actually been Made in the USA and not merely assembled, but I'm trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
