00:00Best Clipper Guards Under $13 For Home Barbers
00:03You know that thin plastic guard set your clipper came with?
00:07That's the reason your fade looks chunky.
00:10I went through the best-selling clipper guards under 13 bucks and found 5 sets actually worth
00:15your money. No filler, just what each one does. First up, the 8-piece 10-piece, let me say this
00:22one straight, the 8-in-1 professional clipper guard set for $4.91. Nearly 5,000 sold,
00:29and it's the highest rated of the whole bunch at 4.9 stars. You get a full ladder of attachment
00:35combs plus trimmers, the sizes that actually cover a short crop, a taper, and a clean line-up neck.
00:41For the price, this is the one I'd buy first. Next, this black limit comb set with 1.5,
00:483, and 4.5mm guides, $5.37. Three sizes, but here's the thing,
00:54those are the 3 sizes you use every single time. 1.5 for the back of the neck, 3 for
01:00the sides,
01:014.5 for blending into a taper. Nothing extra, nothing you never touch.
01:07Cheapest useful set on this list. Then there's the 8-piece wall clipper guide
01:12comb set, $9.65, rated 4.8. This one's built specifically around wall machines, and if you own
01:19one, that's the compatibility win. Every guard seats flush and locks in tight, so no blades snag
01:25halfway through a blend. Mid-price, and it's the set I trust for salon-style work.
01:31Now the budget option. 2, 3, or 4-piece universal guard set with black and clear combs,
01:38just $3.09. You're talking $3 for a set that fits most clippers out there, in 1.5, 3, 4
01:46.5,
01:46and 6mm. Under 4 bucks. Buy it as a backup, keep it in your kit bag, don't think about it
01:54again.
01:55Alright, links for all 5 are down in the description.
