Broke on first use
We have a Wahl Sterling 4 clipper. It's a good clipper, but the set of guards that comes with it doesn't include a 1/2 size. The plain plastic 1/2 guard is stupidly expense for a single cheapo item, so I opted for this once, which is supposed to be nicer and more durable.<br /><br />Unfortunately, one of the teeth (tines?) broke off on very first use.<br /><br />Also, my clipper just seemed to have a harder time cutting with it. It took my wife over 30 minutes to shave my head, versus the usual 15 with the size 1 guard. Even going over it dozens of time, it still feels uneven. I wear the one-length-all-over-including-beard hairstyle you might associate with Jason Statham. So I usually trim my beard with the clippers, too, to get the same length all around. And this guard did an absolutely horrible job there. (Again, my size 1 guard does just fine.)<br /><br />Pros: Feels solid and looks pro. The metal clip goes on easy and holds solidly in place.<br /><br />Cons: Again, broke on first use. Produced a noticeably poorer cut.<br /><br />Overall, very disappointed. Expected better quality from Wahl. (And I inspected it before use, I didn't see any damage from shipping, so I think the plastic is just weak.)
