Oster Turbo A5 Clippers By Jennifer Walker on Nov 01, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

My husband bought me the Oster Turbo A5 clippers at my request for my birthday. I love, love, love these clippers! I use them to body clip and show clip my arabian horse, although currently I only have 10 and 40 blades for it. The clippers have two speeds, normal and turbo. The normal speed is good for close work, like around the eyes or in the ears, and I use turbo for everything else. I have body clipped my horse twice with these with no problems. They do get hot, which is to be expected when using a small clipper like this for any length of time, so I take breaks and use lubricant often. The clippers are a good size, fitting nicely in my hand to give me a good grip, but not so big as to tire me out. I have the ones that are a metallic lavender color--I've heard different results from different colored models.
