CR8GR8 Clipper Guards for Wahl 10/12/14/16/18/20 (6pcs, Extra Long Guides, Gray)

What this is for

If you’ve ever tried to tidy up your hair with scissors and ended up with uneven edges, extra-long clipper guards are a simpler path. These CR8GR8 clipper guard attachments are designed to help you create a more consistent, longer cut at home—without turning every session into a careful comb-and-scissor balancing act.

The set includes 6 guards and is meant for full-size hair clipper blades (not the smaller trimmer-style blades). On paper, that distinction matters, because using the wrong kind of blade size can lead to poor fit or guards that don’t sit right.

Key features that actually matter

This kit is built around universal-style guide sizes for longer results. Instead of guessing how long each pass will leave your hair, the guards come in multiple lengths intended to match the Wahl 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 lineup.

A detail worth calling out: the attachment clips are described as metal (rather than plastic). That’s the kind of small difference that can make maintenance easier and reduce the “I’m being careful because it feels flimsy” feeling.

You also get a practical compatibility range. The guards are stated to fit blades with widths from 1-5/8 to 1-3/4 inches. If your clipper blade sits outside that width range, don’t force it—this is one of those cases where a mismatch can waste time.

Where it shines (and what you’ll notice)

These are extra long clipper guard guides, with lengths listed as 2.5”, 2.25”, 2”, 1.75”, 1.5”, and 1.25”. If you want to keep the top noticeably longer—think “presentable at home” rather than a super-short cut—this set is aimed at that exact use.

A real-life micro-scenario: you part your hair, start with a longer guard for the top and sides, and then do a second pass on the edges. Even if you’re not a barber, the guards help you control the length consistently across sections, so you’re less likely to end up with one side creeping shorter than the other.

Specs you should verify before buying

Since this is all about fit, it’s smart to double-check the numbers in the listing before you commit. The set is described as including:

• 6 guard sizes tied to Wahl numbers: #20 (64 mm), #18 (57 mm), #16 (51 mm), #14 (44 mm), #12 (38 mm), #10 (32 mm)

And the compatibility note says it fits blade widths from 1-5/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Also, the listing emphasizes “full-size” hair clippers, not smaller beard/body trimmers.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)

It makes sense if:

• You mostly cut your own hair and want longer, cleaner-looking results.
• You travel and want to reduce dependence on frequent barbershop visits.
• You’re trying to replace or supplement scissors for consistency.
• You specifically use full-size hair clippers that match the stated blade width range.

You may want to skip it if:

• Your clipper is a smaller trimmer-style unit (the listing explicitly warns against that).
• You don’t know your blade width and you can’t confirm it’s within 1-5/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
• You’re hoping for a “one guard does everything” ultra-custom experience—this set focuses on longer lengths, so very short styles may not be the goal.

Is it worth it?

This CR8GR8 guard set is a practical buy if you want extra-long length control at home and you already have (or plan to use) a full-size Wahl-compatible clipper blade within the stated width range. The multiple guard lengths and the metal clip attachment approach are built for repeatable, less stressful haircuts.

It’s not the best choice if you’re using a smaller beard/body trimmer setup, or if your blade width falls outside what the guards are described to fit. When fit is right, though, it’s the kind of accessory that can quietly upgrade your results more than you’d expect—especially if scissors have been giving you uneven outcomes.

Mini FAQ

How do I know the guards will fit my clipper?

Check your clipper blade width against the stated range of 1-5/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and confirm you’re using a full-size hair clipper rather than a smaller trimmer.

Are these guards only for longer hair?

Yes—this set is positioned as extra long, with multiple longer guide lengths listed (including 2.5” down to 1.25”). It’s meant to keep the cut from getting too short.

Will these replace scissors completely?

They’re designed to reduce reliance on scissors by helping you keep lengths more uniform during clipper passes, but your technique still matters.

Do the attachments use metal clips?

The listing states the fixing clips are metal rather than plastic, which is a small durability-focused detail.

Do I need to match a specific Wahl model?

The set is described as compatible with Wahl 10/12/14/16/18/20 guard sizing, but fit also depends on blade width and full-size hair clipper use, so verify both.
