Good morning, all this is a silver crest nose and ear hair trimmer. It was in lidl and it was reduced to one pound and i stared at this for a while, and i thought you can't make a video about a nose. Any hair trimmer there's nothing in there battery motor and a cutting blade, but then i noticed this, the part number snot, 1.5 a1 and i thought that's mildly, appropriate for a nose, hair trimmer. So, let's see if there is a video in this, let's open it up, take a look inside.

Oh look, it's worth it just for the battery single, a and trimmer. Now the only thing really that i can think of to make this interesting is a prediction. Is there a motor in the entire world, driven from a 1.5 volt battery that could drive a fairly high resistance, cutting blade without a gearbox? In other words, does this have a gear box in it? So let's get the battery and this ridiculous three bristle brush put the battery in here. Okay, oh there's a o-ring there.

Oh yes, it did have an ipx rating, didn't it oh yeah ipx4. So let's shove that in start this thing up now. The first thing is to listen: does that i think that does sound like a gearbox there's a lot of things touching other things, let's take it apart, because i have no intention of using this nose and ear hair trimmer. Despite my advancing years now, this bit comes off the end and there's a shaft which we can watch turning.

Oh, that could be direct drive to the motor. Maybe there is no video in this yeah that goes pretty fast. Doesn't it so, i don't think there's any point taking this apart, because this is just literally battery uh sort of modestly clever mechanical switch type thing to connect the battery to the motor and a 1.5 volt motor. I think we're done with that, but this looks quite interesting if i'll bring the camera down, let's pull out this blade assembly and that's quite fussy, isn't it quite fiddly, so your nose and ear hairs might drop into these slots.

Imagine the tip of this pen is a hair, might drop in that way or they might go in that way and on this blade assembly there are actually cutters for both those orientations. The tops of these blades rubbing against these folded over bits to cut hairs which go in and on, and the sides of these blades rubbing against these lower down slots to cut hairs that go in laterally from the side. So, yes, and spring loaded to ensure that the blade is kept in a tensioned contact with the inside of this metal, whatever you call it so these springs push the blades outwards and keep that edge in contact with the metal. I don't know what the word is for that.

If anyone knows tell me yeah, that's what that spring does, but what keeps these top parts of the blades in contact with the top part of this thing. I believe it's the spring in here there's a little coil spring in there, which means that this assembly, the blade assembly, is tensioned upwards into the end of this nozzle i'll call it a nozzle, so yeah you've got the two separate tensioning mechanisms the core spring in There and the two lateral springs, holding the blades out quite clever, so i found a hair on the floor. Not mine you'd be pleased to know mine all gray anyway, let's see if it chops it up and in the end yeah and it seems to have enough grunt to cut hair. Well there you are so there.

It is the silver crest uh snot, 1.5 version. A1 nasan unt trimmer nose and ear hair trimmer.
