Frequently Asked Questions
What you need to know about Shear Saver®
Q: Does Shear Saver® remove metal or change the angle of my shears?
A: When used correctly, per instructions, Shear Saver® does not remove metal from the cutting edge nor does it change the angle of the shear blades. It works by smoothing and microscopically realigning the cutting edge.
Q: Will Shear Saver® void my manufacturer warranty?
A: Because Shear Saver® does not remove metal or change the shear’s blade angles, it will not void the shear’s manufacturer’s warranty.
Q: How often should Shear Saver® be used?
A: To keep your shears at peak performance, Shear Saver® can be used after each client’s haircut if desired, with just a few passes on our tool. We recommend not waiting until your shears are dull before use.
Q: Can Shear Saver® be used too much?
A: No. Shear Saver® is designed to be used as often as you’d like. Since no damage is happening to the blade while using the tool, it can be used frequently.
Q: What if the product’s steeling post bends?
A: If Shear Saver® is accidently dropped and the steeling post bends, it’s critical to replace the steeling post before using it again.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Shear Saver® does not require cleaning and should not be soaked in sanitizing solutions. If desired, the steeling rod can be wiped down with rubbing alcohol applied to a cotton ball, followed by a light shear or clipper oil applied with a cotton ball.
