Clipper blades are usually made of what material?

  1. Stainless steel

  2. Carbon steel

  3. Aluminum

  4. Plastic

The correct answer is: Carbon steel

Clipper blades are usually made of carbon steel because it is a durable and strong material that can withstand the frequent use and high pressure of cutting hair. Stainless steel and aluminum are also strong materials, but they are not as hard or sharp as carbon steel, which is necessary for creating precise and clean cuts. Plastic is not a suitable material for clipper blades as it is not strong enough to withstand the pressure and can easily break or dull, resulting in an ineffective tool.
