Tension spring for Babyliss Clippers FX870

The two-dollar part that fixes a clipper you were ready to replace.

This replacement tension spring fits the BaByliss PRO FX870 clipper and restores the blade pressure that keeps cutting consistent. When a clipper starts pulling, cutting unevenly or sounding rattly, a fatigued tension spring is one of the first things to check — long before the blade or the motor. Installation is a quick swap with the blade off.

• Ends uneven cutting — correct spring pressure holds the blade set where it belongs.
• Stops snagging and pulling caused by a blade that has gone loose against the cutter.
• Cheaper than a new clipper — a worn spring makes a good tool feel finished.
• Fast to install — remove the blade, swap the spring, reset alignment.
• Worth keeping as a spare so a failure mid-week does not cost you a chair.

Questions Barbers Ask

How do I know the tension spring is the problem?

If the blade feels loose or rocks against the cutter, the clipper gets noisier, or it pulls after cleaning, oiling and realigning, the spring is the likely culprit.

Do I need to realign the blade after replacing it?

Yes. Reset the blade so the cutter teeth sit slightly back from the still blade teeth, then oil before the first cut.

Why did the spring wear out?

Repeated blade removal, over-tightening and heat cycling all fatigue a small spring over time. It is a wear part on a high-volume clipper.

Why Barbers Love It

Most "my clipper is dying" problems are a five-minute fix. Keeping a spring in the drawer means you diagnose it instead of buying your way out of it.
