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

Sturdiness 10/10. The 1.5 guard is way better than the regular 1.5, it doesn’t feel like it’s going to leave you patched up due to how separated the tooth are.

These are great guides for the Wahl clippers. I love how the carrier makes it easier to organize and keep track of the clippers. The only downside is the 1/2 guide (1/16) and the 1 1/2 guide (3/16) are not included or at least a space is not left for them, since a professional pair of Wahls will come with them.

I was using the regular guards with the plastic tabs to hold onto the clippers and was having a horrible time at the barber shop. They would stretch out and fall off in the middle of a haircut, etc. Finally bought this set (plus the additional two guards .5 and 1.5) and I love them! Theyre more sturdy, the metal clips are very secure on the clipper and I can cut much faster. I dont have to worry about them falling off or trying to hold the guard onto the clipper while cutting. Mine fit my Series 9 Wahl perfectly.

Great set of guides. I am getting used to the numbers as I had previously used a color coded set. The metal clips are a more solid way to mount so it is a good design. There are no taper guides included, that would make it a 5 star. I use my lesser quality taper guides that I already had.

They fit and work perfectly. Don’t buy cheaper knockoffs!

This is a high quality set of hair cutting guides with metal clips that combined with an open and closed blade adjustments should cut most short hair styles. In my case, I am not a trained barber and so I preferred a couple additional guides not offered in this set to help me achieve a military style cut. The short guides with plastic clips can easily pop loose and if you do not notice in time the mistake might ruin your hair cut. In my experience. the longer guides with the plastic clips do not pop loose very often but I still bought the complete set of guides with metal clips to replace all the guides with plastic clips. Why take any unnecessary chances?

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

I ordered the item and it didn’t contain all the guides, the #1 guide (the one that is displayed at the front of the package) was missing so I returned the item. The second time I bought it, everything was ok, brand new guides with no damage or missing items. I am giving 4 stars due to the incomplete package the first time but it’s a good product overall.

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.

Fits magic clip clippers perfectly. Very durable
