The BaBylissPRO SkeletonFX Gold Metal Charging Base (FX7870GBASE) is a solid gold metal base for your FX7870 SkeletonFX outlining trimmer. Its weight gives the trimmer a steady, upright home on the counter, and the trimmer charges on it using its own adapter -- so the tool stays in one place, ready between clients.

Why it earns a spot on your station

The SkeletonFX is an exposed-blade outlining trimmer you pick up and put down constantly through a cut, so a fixed, heavy home for it keeps the station tidy and the battery topped up. This base is solid metal, so its weight is the point -- it stays put and holds the trimmer upright and steady, its blade off the counter, instead of letting it lie flat with a cable trailing. The trimmer sits in the base and charges on its own adapter, ready whenever you reach for it.

Key features

• A solid metal base whose weight gives real balance and stability
• Holds your FX7870 SkeletonFX outlining trimmer upright and steady on the counter
• The trimmer charges on the base using its own adapter (adapter not included)
• Gold finish for a premium, matching station piece
• Fits the FX7870GE, FX7870IE ChameleonFX, FX7870BKE and FX7870RE trimmers

What to expect

Set the base on your station, connect your trimmer's own adapter, and stand the trimmer in it whenever you are not using it -- it sits upright and charges. It uses the adapter you already have, so there is nothing new to set up, and the weighted metal body keeps the whole thing steady on the counter.

Who it is for

• Barbers who want their outlining trimmer charged and within reach at the chair
• Anyone who wants a heavy, stable metal home for the trimmer rather than a light plastic stand
• Stylists matching a gold SkeletonFX trimmer who want the base to finish the station

Who it is not for

• Anyone expecting a power adapter in the box -- it is not included, and the trimmer uses its own
• Owners of an FX8700 clipper, who need the ClipperFX clipper base instead -- this base is sized for the slim SkeletonFX trimmer
• A trimmer outside the FX7870 SkeletonFX range listed above

Professional tip

Wipe hair dust off the base and keep the charging contacts clean and dry at the end of each day. The trimmer only charges reliably when it seats fully and its contacts meet the base cleanly, and fine cut hair is what gets in the way.

How to use

1. Place the base on a flat, dry part of your station.
2. Connect your trimmer's own adapter to the base.
3. Stand the trimmer in the base so it sits upright.
4. Leave it there between clients to keep the charge topped up.

Using it with your tools

This base is made for the FX7870 SkeletonFX range -- the FX7870GE, FX7870IE ChameleonFX, FX7870BKE and FX7870RE trimmers. Pair the gold base with your Boost+ SkeletonFX Trimmer -- Gold, keep a spare SkeletonFX DLC Titanium 2.0 Blade -- Gold on hand for blade changes, and find guards, covers and other spares on the BaBylissPRO accessories page.

In short

• A solid gold metal base for FX7870 SkeletonFX outlining trimmers
