Set of six Oster clipper guide combs.

Oster clippers last forever, I suspect, if you oil them, but the original combs were relatively fragile. These new combs appear to be unbreakable nylon (just a guess because it feels like the same material that unbreakable regular combs are made from). That makes them a little more flexible (not so much that you risk a closer cut) and slightly harder to mount, but unless I'm missing something, they might actually outlast the clippers. My clipper is model 284-01 Series B. Sizes and shapes exact same as the original combs. I found matching the series and head profile to replacement combs to be confusing, but these combs (Oster Professional Products Part No. 76926-600) definitely fit at least my model (it says for Models 974, 284, 650, and 820 Adjustable Clippers on package). If it isn't clear from the photos, these combs are single-piece plastic (or nylon as it were), not the combs with the metal clips/mounts that some other clippers use.

We own an Oster Professional 76023-510 Fast Feed Trimmer, but the combs that came with it have not lasted that long. I tried to find combs for the specific model that we had, but they were all much more expensive sets, so I took a gamble with this set to see how it would work. The only difference in the combs are three plastic lines on the underside of each that raises the comb up to high to slide onto the trimmer. With a razor knife I was able to remove the three lines easily and the combs fit perfectly. The best part was that I saved myself a bunch of money.

The replacement clipper guide combs are quite adequate, fit the model stated, and extend the life of the clipper's utility. It would be nice if they were available in a metal version rather than the plastic one.
