Barbers are constantly searching for tools that deliver the right balance of power, comfort and performance.
As a Barber Temple Educator and MRD Pro Ambassador, Tyrone Ketu has the opportunity to test a wide range of clippers and trimmers. We sat down with Tyrone to get his thoughts on the MRD Pro Smart Brain Precision Clipper and Precision Trimmer, and find out why they've become two of his most-used tools.
What Tyrone Likes About the Precision Smart Brain Clipper
For Tyrone, one of the biggest strengths of the Precision Smart Brain Clipper is its versatility.
Whether he's removing bulk, blending or working through a fade, it's become the clipper he naturally reaches for first.
"Working at Barber Temple, I get to try every new tool that comes through. The Precision Clipper has become my go-to. I'm using it for pretty much everything at the moment and I struggle to put it down."
Lightweight and Comfortable
The first thing Tyrone noticed was how the clipper felt in his hand.
"I love how light it feels. It's comfortable to use and feels really balanced. You can use it all day without it feeling heavy."
For barbers who spend long hours cutting, comfort matters. A lightweight clipper can improve control, reduce fatigue and make day-to-day work easier.
Powerful Without Being Aggressive
The Precision Smart Brain Clipper features a high-torque motor designed to deliver strong, consistent cutting performance.
For Tyrone, what stands out isn't just the power, but how refined the clipper feels during use.
"The motor has plenty of power, but it still feels really smooth. There's very little vibration, it's quiet, and it cuts clean without feeling aggressive."
Whether he's working through bulk removal or general cutting, the clipper delivers the performance he's looking for.
"It feeds hair really well and doesn't feel like it's working hard, even when you're taking out a lot of weight."
Built for Clean Fades
One feature Tyrone particularly likes is the combination of the Faper blade and Shallow DLC Cutting Blade.
"The blade setup is probably one of my favourite things about it. The Faper blade and shallow DLC cutter work really well together and make fading straightforward."
The blade combination allows for smooth blending and clean transitions, making the clipper well suited to modern fading techniques.
What Tyrone Thinks of the Precision Smart Brain Trimmer
Alongside the clipper, the Precision Smart Brain Trimmer has also found a permanent place in Tyrone's setup.
For him, a good trimmer comes down to a few simple things.
"When I'm choosing a trimmer, I want power, a sharp blade and something that's easy to manoeuvre. The Precision Trimmer ticks all three boxes."
Whether it's line-ups, beard work or finishing details, the trimmer provides the control and precision required for detailed work.
"The blade is sharp, the motor is strong, and it's easy to move around exactly where you need it. It has everything I look for in a detailing tool."
Easy to Control
For detailed work, comfort and manoeuvrability are just as important as cutting performance.
"It feels natural in your hand. You're not fighting the tool, which gives you a lot more confidence when you're working on finer details."
That combination of control and performance makes it suitable for everything from outlines and beard work through to final finishing touches.
Who Are These Tools Best For?
One of the things Tyrone appreciates most about the Precision Smart Brain range is how accessible it is.
"I'd recommend these tools for any level of barber. If you're just getting into the trade, they're easy to handle and easy to learn with. If you've been cutting for years, they've still got the power and performance you expect from a tool."
That balance of usability and performance makes the range suitable for apprentices, experienced barbers and everyone in between.
