Click or No-Click? Your Choice.

Simply lift and switch.

It's a clever addition for barbers who want the freedom to change their setup without changing clippers.

F32 Drift™ Adjustable Balding Blade

The Vapor Switch features Wahl's F32 Drift™ Blade, designed for seamless balding, close fading and precision clipper work.

Internal oil grooves help reduce friction for cooler, smoother cutting, while the high-carbon steel blade features Black PVD Chrome and DLC coatings for durability and lasting cutting performance.

The blade adjusts from approximately 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm, giving you the close-cutting range needed for detailed fades, blends, and bald work.

Built for Long Days Behind the Chair

With up to 3.5 hours of cordless runtime at 7,000 RPM, the Vapor Switch is built to keep up through busy cutting sessions.

A full charge takes approximately 120 minutes.

Running low between clients? A 5-minute quick charge provides up to 10 minutes of cutting time.

Charging is flexible, too. Use the included Single Power Station™ charging stand at your station, or the supplied USB-C charging cable for greater portability.

At approximately 288 g, the Vapor Switch combines professional cutting performance with a slim, lightweight housing.

The balanced design is made for comfortable, controlled handling, particularly during detailed fading and longer cutting sessions.

Its LED system displays:

• Selected motor speed
