The best Gamma+ trimmer for most barbers is the Boosted trimmer, with the Cyborg the pick for long days and the Absolute Hitter for the longest runtime. For foil shavers, choose the Boosted shaver for fast skin fades or the Boosted One for lines and tight spots.

The best Gamma+ trimmers
Best all-rounder: Gamma+ Boosted trimmer
The Gamma+ Boosted trimmer is our best-selling Gamma+ tool and the trimmer we would hand most barbers first. Its 8,000 RPM rotary motor drives a 40mm X-PRO Black Diamond Carbon DLC T-blade that adjusts from 0.8mm down to zero gap, with zero-gap and 0.3mm alignment tools in the box. It weighs 180g, runs for 120 minutes on a 120-minute charge and sits on an anti-slip LED dock, with three interchangeable covers.
Best for long days: Gamma+ Cyborg trimmer
The Cyborg trimmer runs for 180 minutes on a 120-minute charge, so it suits barbers who detail all day without docking. A 7,500 RPM digital motor drives a 40mm X-PRO stainless steel T-blade that adjusts from zero to 0.8mm, in a 250g full metal body.
Best for torque control: Gamma+ Xcell trimmer
The Xcell trimmer runs Gamma+'s Vector IN2 motor at 9,500 RPM with electronically controlled torque, plus a 40mm X-PRO DLC fixed blade and The One DLC moving blade. Its aluminium back helps reduce vibration and noise, the magnetic drop-top lifts off for cleaning, and it charges on its base or by USB-C with four magnetic combs from 1.5 to 9mm.
Best USB-C detailer: Gamma+ Hitter Up
The Gamma+ Hitter Up trimmer is built for sharp detailing, edging and finishing. A 7,000 RPM DC rotary motor drives an X-PRO fixed blade in blue titanium nitride, it runs for over 2 hours, and it charges on its base, by power cable or by USB-C. Gamma Più lists 1, 3, 5 and 7mm combs and three interchangeable covers.
Longest runtime: Gamma+ Absolute Hitter
The Absolute Hitter is listed at up to four hours of cordless runtime with a two-hour rapid charge, the longest listed runtime of any Gamma+ trimmer we stock. Its supercharged rotary motor drives a Black Diamond Carbon DLC blade that can be zero-gapped, and it beeps when the battery reaches 10%, 5% and 3%.
Fastest recharge: Gamma+ X-Evo
The X-Evo fully recharges in one hour on its dock or by USB cable. Its micro-chipped motor runs at 10,000 strokes per minute with a 40mm Black Diamond Carbon DLC blade that adjusts from 0.8mm to zero gap.
