Very nice little set for maintaining my dogs' grooming in between professional appointments. I don't think I'm confident enough to give them a properly shaped haircut, but the clippers are easy to charge, no wires hanging (although you can use them while plugged in if necessary), and I found it easy to clip their claws back. I did find the triangle style file a little ticklish for them and think I would prefer to use my electric file, however, this kit is easy to clean with the provided brush and the blades are removable if necessary to remove longer hairs that occasionally get stuck. My dogs love the wide tooth comb and I use this before their slicker brush to help remove any matts or grass burrs that they seem to be collecting a lot of in the current grass season.
