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

A big improvement of the ones that came with the clippers.

The guards are great but I only wish they came with the half guard and the 1.5 guard

I love having the place to store them and the metal clip makes them very secure on my clippers and they don’t wear down as fast as the plastic ones. They don’t come with the 1/2 or the 1 1/2 but you can order those separately. All around I love them

These are so much better than the ones included with the clippers. Everyone mentioned the same but no one explained exactly why. Unlike others, I experienced a much easier time taking these in and out, much easier than the full plastic ones. The metal click gives you a premium feel. These guides are made of a much stronger plastic. Curiously, the plastic is slightly thinner, but once you get to play with them, youll see that they flex less, so you will be getting a much better haircut, with less mistakes. The big problem with the included guides is that they flex with a minimal change in pressure, producing worse results. No problem with these. The metal has nothing to do with the sturdiness as others mentioned, the metal is only for the looks and also to attach them to the clipper, but what makes these ones so much better is the way stronger plastic. I also like the design. At the very little top end of the guides these have a little curve pointing up that allows for better grip of your hair, especially if you are cutting long hair. Very happy with the purchase!

Nice quality... No 1/16 attachment.

Clips on and stays in place great. Defiantly recommend for professionals and at home hair alike.

Always a great quality guard

A necessary upgrade for your adjustable clippers. The basic all-plastic gaurds are terrible, too pointy, dont stay on the clipper well, easy to bend and break, barbacide is really hard on them. The premium gaurds fix all those issues. Only one complaint. The 1/2 and 1-1/2 gaurd should come with the set. Shears are easier than gaurds over 3/4 so I would consider the large gaurds more specialty than the fade gaurds, just my 2¢.

love these guards!!!

Love these
