Rough Saturday: 6 clients back to back and my clippers died at 2 PM

Last Saturday in Denver I had a full book, six cuts straight with no lunch break, and right before my third walk-in my Wahl clippers just stopped mid-fade. I had to borrow a pair from the shop owner, but the blade gap was off so my fade lines looked wobbly and I had to redo one guy's taper twice. Any of you keep a backup clipper handy or do you just risk it and pray the motor holds up on busy days?

Six cuts with no lunch is already rough but your clippers dying mid fade at 2 is a straight up nightmare. Borrowing a pair with a messed up blade gap sounds worse than just sending everybody home honestly. I'd be losing my mind redoing that taper twice.
