hey everyone Joseph from Rum Barber here and today we're going to do a
little first impression video for the Gamma+ Absolute Hitter Gamma were nice enough to
send us these new Clippers to try out so we're going to do that but first I just
wanted to say that we're going to do a first impressions video because it
doesn't really feel like you can give a really thorough review after only a week
or so of using a new bit of equipment you don't get to see the real wear and
tear using it day in day out for weeks months at a time so we're going to give
these a really thorough use before we put together our proper review for you
but in the meantime we'll just give you our first impressions of what we think
of them now when Gamma first sent us these Clippers I'll be honest I had
never heard a Gamma before so I had a little look online found out it's an
Italian brand that's been going for quite some time their main focus is like
a salon brand they seem to be mostly about hair dryers and styling tools and
they're branching out a little bit with this these Hitters and some foils as well
I've seen a couple of things on US television on YouTube talking about
their stuff as well but this is the first time I've had a chance to use
anything that they've put together they did send us the foils as well which we
will get to in another video but right now I just want to talk about these
trimmers so let's get talking about them now first things first
design and build quality when I saw them online and I saw videos of other people
using them and the pictures on their website I gotta admit I didn't really
like the look of them I thought they might have looked a little bit cheap but
that's not the case that's just a bad first impression from me however actually
having them in my hands and using them for a couple days they're balanced
really nicely they actually do look well put together they are well put together
as well and the rose gold finish is actually quite subtle and quite nice on
them which leads me into talking about the lids there are optional lids that
you could put on these you have the option of the rose gold and they also
come with skins in gold and silver as well you know I prefer the rose gold
myself but I think it's really good that Gamma are giving you the option to put
on whatever things you want as well and there's also these little sections on
here that break off so that you can actually leave the Clipper skeleton
which is how I prefer to have them but it's nice to know that if you feel like
you want to put that back on and have them covered up you can do that as well
you can also mix and match whichever ones you want to put on together so not
only you got the option of the skin for the whole thing but you can actually
make up your own color choices as you go along which again is not overly a thing
I would do but a lot of people would like that and I bet you if Gamma got
round to it and made custom skins for people they'd find themselves making an awful
lot more money as for being able to skeleton them from the get-go that's how
I prefer to have my Clippers obviously keep some cooler and it makes them
easier to clean out but the nice thing about having the option of the skeleton
them is that you are not going to damage the warranty having to cut them open and
mess around with the Machine yourself you can skeleton it and if you suddenly
decide that that's not for you you can pop the cover back on you've got no
extra adjustments you need to make to the trimmer
as for the charge they come with a four hour runtime off of a two hour charge
which is really impressive given how small this machine is and in comparison
to other trimmers that we've talked about like the GoldFX there's a
really 4 Hours is really strong they came fully charged for us as well
and I've not had to send them on a charger at all since I got them in two
days ago also as well you've got the USB function so you can charge them using
USB as well as using the traditional cord there they also come with a stand
which is quite handy something we've said about a couple of trimmers in the past
not having a stand these have a nice we stand pop them on
there and that lights up as well when you're charging them too you've also got
a black carbon blade on here as well and a T blade the black carbon blade
that's on here according to the website is also a blade that stays cooler for
longer and also stays sharper for longer and the teeth on the blade are a little
bit deeper than like an Andis T outliner and on factory setting they're
actually set really close as well they're super easy to adjust by the
looks of it but to be honest the actual factory setting itself is really really
close and I've not found any problems with it at all creates a nice sharp line
without having made any adjustments yet but I'm sure we'll get around to that at
some point and you'll be able to see all about that when we do Its also got a
rotary motor so it's nice and powerful and you can kind of feel that in there
as well it's not too powerful though it's a small machine is quite subtle but
it is in there you do feel it they don't feel like they're gonna be weak or
anything like that when you're going to use them now you heard when I turn them
on there that they beep which is not only a function for turning them on but
it actually lets you know about the battery life according to the website
now they've not ran out on me yet but according to the website once it gets to
10% it beats once it gets to 5% it beeps twice and when it gets to 3% it beeps
three times so you're more than aware of how much battery you've got left and how
soon you need to get them charged now there's a couple of bad points I
don't have too many bad points because it's only been a couple of days and I
haven't had a chance to really give them a proper go there's still a couple of
things left in the shop that I haven't had a chance to do on them but the first
bad point is that beep that beep is all throughout the day not only have I been
using them but other people in the shelf we've been using them and the beep is
just constantly there in the background you know what it's like it's like when
old people have iPhones and they don't turn the tap tap tap click click click
noise off when they're writing text messages which is doubly annoying
because a the noise and be the only old people are writing text messages
nowadays that's just what that reminds me of just that constant little beep in
the background you know it's like it's constant like there's somebody swearing
all the time and just with lots of different people use them in the shop
it's just going to be like that all day I find that personally quite irritating
there doesn't seem to be an option on them to turn that off as well or to even
turn it down so you're just going to always have that little beep going there but as
annoying as that beep can be it's nowhere near as annoying to me as the
name Absolute Hitter I can't get on board with that name man I really can't
like it's just it's hard to talk about not liking it without being really mean
and I don't want to be overly mean because people were nice enough to send
us things but I will just say that personally I do not like the name
Absolute Hitter and I don't think that's even a name that I would like to even
say in this if I have my way the name Absolute Hitter will be beeped
out at every point throughout this video I would rather you think that I was
saying something truly offensive rather than the name Absolute Hitter
now build wise they've also it's like they're kind of like picking and
choosing the best bits of other trimmers out there because you've got really
small sleek body much like a Slimline Pro but then you've got that nice big
T blade there with the deeper teeth so it's kind of fitting in something like
the Andis T Outliner or the Babyliss GoldFX as well
almost like they're kind of trying to Frankenstein their own personal best
trimmer out there and that gives me a lot of hope for these it makes me think
that these actually might be a really solid addition to the kit but like I say
it's early doors we're just doing the first impressions and so far for the
last couple of days it's been a good first impression so thank you very much
to everybody for watching and we will let you know once we get the full review
out in the meantime we'll see you later
