These were a gift and she says they are far superior to any other thinners she has every used.
The lightning thinner does cut off more hair than regular thinners! I like the length and the way it handles. The only thing I did not like was I could not adjust the blade tension myself (there is no adjustment knob), that's why the four stars.
[EDIT: Tension on internal assembly shears such as the Lightning™ are adjusted by using the UFO key on the underside of the screw.]
I absolutely love the straights and thinners! They cut like a dream. They don't quite fit my hands, but they cut is so nice it's worth it!
The first time I picked them up, I thought they were too light. They weren't heavy enough to be real. Now that I've used them for a couple of weeks, I'm in love! They cut through coats from Cocker hair to Poodles. They are whisper quiet, too. I have used the tinning shears to do almost an entire hair cut with beautiful results. My one complaint would be that this is the only set of shears I have ever bought that did not come with a cleaning cloth. Kenchii, be a dear and put a cleaning cloth in this set so I can keep them clean and looking new!
I just bought these at groom expo west, best decision I've made in a long time... you really do get what you pay for. I've had tons of different shears over the years and was always a geib girl, but these blow them out of the water. The lightning thinners blend everything perfectly and give you a natural soft finish!
I bought these at groom expo west, I was going to go for a level 2 shear to save money, but they offered a great deal that I couldn't pass up! After working with them I realized that they're worth every penny. I love that you can flip them around and use them either way... perfect for poodle heads!! They're pretty large but they feel great in my small hands and they've made a huge difference in my finishing! Love my lightnings, love Jonathan David, Love Kenchii!
