Wahl Professional Premium Black Cutting Guides #3171-500 - 1/8 to 1 - Fits All Full Size Wahl Clippers (Excludes Detachable Blade Clippers) 8 Pack

These cut and are just overall better than the cheaper colored Wahl guides. They cut and attach to the clipper so much better that I cant see myself ever going back to all plastic ones. The metal clips and stronger plastic sets these apart from the colored guides.

Ive used these countless times over the last several months and not one has broken, and their performance compared to 100% plastic ones is superior. Thats the reason I bought these. The cheaper 100% plastic alternative, and most common, break all the time. The a100% plastic version will break over time regardless of whether youre careful with them or not. The plastic version over time breaks from the stress of bending the lip into place on the clippers repeatedly. This eventually causes that part to snap off. These dont have that problem because they are metal in that specific area. Perfect. And they snap in to place better too..

Ugh. I love these clips for my pro series Wahl but they are a pain to cart around. The case that carries them doesn’t have a lid or securing mechanism so the clips fall out super easy. Every time I move them around I have to spend time sorting and placing them back in their proper spot. That said, the clips themselves work great. Offer a range of sizes not included with the base clippers. They are much sturdier than the standard plastic clips included with the Wahl. Overall I’d still recommend, but if you’re traveling with them prepare for them to fall out. I also wish they included one size smaller but if you have the originals you’ll be good.

Great tools. They fit better and tighter than the plastic ones that come with the clipper.. Solid, strong, and made in U.S.A. Makes giving and getting a haircut fun again.

I love how the guards stay on tight and don’t give me a wiggy feeling with my basic wahl guards. They feel stronger than the basic guards but I don’t like how it didn’t came with a 1/2 and a 1 1/2

Perfect fit for my Wahl hair clipper.

It’s perfect

1. The Professional Premium Guides use steel springs to hold guides in place. My old guides had a plastic catch that tended break, making the set incomplete and useless. 2. The guide sizes are permanently marked on the guides. I had to mark my old all-plastic ones with difficulty. 3. The guides have their unique births in the special storage box, making it easier to find and store the guides.

Great product just wish it came with 0.5 guard and 1.5 guard. Overall recommend

I got these to go with my new Wahl 5star Seniors that only came with 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 guard. I finally got to use them yesterday on my kids and they work awesome! They hold very tight, much tighter than the plastic guards that came with the clippers, heck I even had one of the plastic ones pop off (luckily not when I was actually cutting). The metal clips on these guards are clip on nice and firm!
