The BaBylissPRO Boost+ Gold ClipperFX Charging Base (FX8700GBPBASE) is the matching dock for your Boost+ clipper. It gives any FX8700 clipper with a hanging hook a steady home on the counter and a simple way to top up the charge between clients, so the clipper is always upright and ready.

Why it earns a spot on your station

Your clipper is the tool you reach for most through a cut, so a fixed home for it keeps the station tidy and the battery ready. A dedicated base holds the clipper upright and charging instead of lying flat with a cable trailing. Because the cradle seats the clipper by its hanging hook, it stands ready between clients and you pick it up without hunting for a lead.

Key features

• A solid, weighted base designed to keep the clipper upright and steady
• Cradles any FX8700 clipper that has a hanging hook
• Charges through the adapter that came with your clipper (adapter not included)
• Gold finish to match the GoldFX clipper and the rest of your station
• Keeps the clipper off the counter and ready between clients

What to expect

Set the base on your station, connect your clipper's own adapter, and drop the clipper into the cradle whenever you are not using it -- it sits upright and charges. It uses the adapter you already have, so there is nothing new to configure, and the charge tops up between clients rather than only overnight.

Who it is for

• Barbers who want their clipper charged and within reach at the chair
• Anyone running an FX8700 Boost+ clipper who wants a fixed home for it
• Stylists building a gold station and looking for the base to complete it

Who it is not for

• Anyone expecting a power adapter in the box -- it is not included, and the base uses the clipper's own
• Owners of a SkeletonFX outlining trimmer, who need the SkeletonFX trimmer base instead -- this cradle is shaped for the clipper
• Clippers without a hanging hook, which the cradle relies on to seat the tool

Professional tip

Wipe hair dust off the cradle and keep the charging contacts clean and dry at the end of each day. The clipper 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 clipper's own adapter to the base.
3. Seat the clipper in the cradle by its hanging hook so it stands upright.
4. Leave it docked between clients to keep the charge topped up.

Using it with your tools

This base is built around the Boost+ clipper line. Pair the gold base with the Boost+ GoldFX Clipper it is styled to match, keep a spare ClipperFX Gold Titanium Fade Blade on hand for blade changes, and find guards, covers and other spares on the BaBylissPRO accessories page.

In short

• A gold dock for FX8700 Boost+ clippers with a hanging hook
• Keeps the clipper upright, steady and charging at the chair
• Charges through your clipper's own adapter -- none is included
• A matching home that finishes off your gold station setup
