Why Wahl Part Numbers Differ Between the US, UK and Australia

If you search for a Wahl replacement blade, you will often find different part numbers for what looks like the same item. That is usually not a mistake. Wahl’s US, UK and Australian websites each use their own product numbers, both for clippers and for parts.

We keep these numbers as separate entries unless Wahl explicitly states they are interchangeable. The tables below list the differences we documented on Wahl’s official sites (checked October 24, 2026).

Specifications can differ too. For the corded Magic Clip, Wahl USA describes a V9000 motor while Wahl UK describes a V5000 motor. Wahl Australia lists 220–240V operation for its corded Balding Clipper.

What this means when you order

  • Use the part number from your own market’s Wahl site. A number from another country may refer to a different item, or to the same item packaged differently. Wahl does not say which.
  • Do not assume a near-identical number is interchangeable. For example, Wahl USA lists 02191 while Wahl UK lists 2191. We keep them separate because Wahl does not state that they are the same part.
  • Check electrical parts carefully. Chargers, power supplies and batteries depend on voltage and plug type. Wahl Australia also warns that 4V and 5V cordless components must not be mixed.
