Wahl 8-Pack Premium Cutting Guide Combs 3171-500 – Metal Clip Guards

A full guard set that will not pop off mid-pass.

The Wahl 8-Pack Premium Cutting Guide Combs #3171-500 is a complete set of eight attachment guards built with a reinforced metal clip and glass-and-mineral-filled plastic, so they lock onto the blade and glide instead of dragging. The metal clip is the upgrade — it is what keeps a guard seated on a heavy pass through thick hair. Rounded comb teeth keep the guard comfortable against a client's scalp.

• Guards stay locked on — reinforced metal clip beats plastic clips that flex and release.
• Glides instead of dragging — glass and mineral filled plastic moves through hair cleanly.
• Comfortable on the scalp — rounded comb teeth do not scratch.
• A full working range in one purchase rather than buying guards individually.
• Consistent lengths so your fade steps are predictable every time.

Questions Barbers Ask

Are metal-clip guards worth the upgrade?

If you cut a lot of thick hair, yes. Plastic-clip guards flex under load and can lift off the blade mid-pass, which is where uneven fade lines come from.

Will they fit my clipper?

They are made for standard Wahl full-size clipper blades. Check fit if you are using another brand.

How do I sanitize a full set?

Brush, rinse, disinfect and dry completely before storing. Store them in a case rather than loose in a drawer so the teeth do not chip.

Why Barbers Love It

Buying guards one at a time means you always seem to be missing the one you need. A full metal-clip set solves the gaps and upgrades every guard at once.
