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

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.

I replaced the old original comb guides on my Wahl Sterling 9 clippers with these Premium Professional Cutting Guides. I am extremely happy with their performance. They fit soundly and securely on my clippers and feel much more substantial than the standard combs. I highly recommend these as a necessary upgrade from the standard combs.

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

Son de muy buena calidad

This product is better than the guards that come with the clippers

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.

If you have the guards that come with your Wahl clippers, donate them to your local beauty school. These are game changers! Fit like a glove. Smooth glide. Sturdy. The stand they come in convinced me immediately. Searching through a bag of guards just looks messy to clients and is frustrating. I do recommend getting the extra 1 1/2 & 1/2 guards. They’re sold separately. Absolutely worth it!!

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.

Feel very sturdy and secure when I clip them on my clippers. I imagine they will last a very long time.

When forced into home barbering by the coronavirus pandemic, I needed something that could deliver the same results as #1½ on the sides; #4 on top. This package contains more guides than I can envision using, but they mate well with Wahl clippers and get the desired result. Note that this package does not include the #1½, but I already had one of those.
