Adjusting
By following these steps, you ensure that the SLCKR Rig is well-adjusted to your body, making it convenient and efficient to access and use your tools during work, ensuring a smooth and professional workflow.
Adjusting the Rig:
Begin by unbuckling the side buckles. Top buckles usually remain fastened. Put the rig over your head to feel where it sits on the body. Adjust the top straps first to get the desired height. Use the sliders on the straps for adjusting. It may be easier to make these adjustments in front of a mirror.
Securing the Rig:
Secure the side buckles and ensure that the rig is snug but comfortable. Make necessary adjustments to ensure the rig sits well on the front and side of the body.
Fine-Tuning the Rig:
Regular minor adjustments might be necessary over time, but major adjustments are typically a one-time process. The leather of the rig will mold to your body over time, personalizing the fit.
Tool Fitting
Maximize the efficiency of your SLCKR Rig by organizing your tools in a logical and accessible manner. Follow these simple steps to ensure that your tools are always at hand, reducing the need to go back and forth to your station:
Guard Placement
Begin by placing guards from left to right, starting with the 0.5 guard. Place the guards with the tab facing outwards to ensure they are easily accessible. Utilize the gusseted pockets for more comfortable guard placement and removal.
Shears and Comb Organization
Place shears with the thumb hole facing outwards to avoid interference with the combs. Position the scissor comb in the smaller comb pocket and the clipper comb in the larger one.
Clippers and Trimmers
Position smaller tools like trimmers on the left side due to limited space. For clippers and trimmers, gently pull out the elastic slightly for easier placement.
Utilizing Central Pockets
Utilize the central pockets with elastic webbing for items like fade brushes, razors, or hair clips. Customizing this section allows for the quick accessibility of frequently used tools.
Finalizing Tool Placement
Ensure that all tools are secure and within easy reach. Customize the rig with your most frequently used tools for a seamless workflow.
