TweezermanStainless Steel Toenail Clipper

High quality, sharp and easy to grip. Highly recommend!

These are the best nail clippers I’ve ever used - really strong and sharp, and not too expensive. Good for finger and toe nails. I mislaid my first ones and missed them so much I bought another pair. They turned up eventually, so now I have two. I highly recommend these clippers. Good for removing tags from clothes too.

Much larger than I thought it would be (which is a bonus), they seem to be very well built. They are made from very thick steel and they are very sharp. One thing to note is that the cutting edge is straight, where as the finger nail clippers have a curved edge that's how theses differ. They feel as if they would last many years. They cut the nail cleanly. They are very strong and a lot of force can be applied to the lever with out it bending. Highly recomend.

Good, solid cut and easy to use. Very pleased.

Having a thing for straight edged clippers as opposed to the curved ones means that it isn't as simple as swinging by your local chemist when in search of a new device for trimming your talons. My last clipper was doing fine and dandy until I couldn't find my wire cutters one night whilst in the midst of Pi prototyping and seeing as I'd used them for that purpose I decided I may as well invest in a new set and thats when the Tweezerman entered the stage left.As usual it arrived the next day thanks to that sweet, sweet Prime goodness and I gave them a thorough inspection. The cutting edge is razor sharp, the spring mechanism is firm and tight and overall this is a high quality product that should do its job for years to come.Now, I know a lot of reviews on here are complaining about the opening size and I can't help but wonder quite how thick their nails are as the standard opening is nearly 3.5mm (see attached picture) which is more than enough in my case so feel free to measure up before laying down the cash.Overall this is a great product which is slightly expensive in my opinion when contrasted to the competition but then again you don't buy nail trimmers every week do you so I suppose it represents good value for money.The kind folks at Tweezerman sent me the goods at a reduced rate as they heard I'm a reviewer extraordinaire and all round top chap, if you found my words handy please show some love and click YES below and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

I actually purchased these clippers to replace some cheap clippers that are no longer sharp. I use the clippers to clip my indoor cats front claws as they are much easier to use than the claw clippers on the market. I find the the compact blades allow me to see the whole claw whilst clipping the tip which means there is no danger of me clipping too much off causing the claw to bleed, i also find them easier to get into the dewclaw which is very tricky with a standard cat claw clipper.I imagine these are also great for human nails not that we use them for that as the blades are strong and sharp.

While these will appear to hold up fine for a while there are two failure points which will ultimately break making them useless. These are common with a lot of nail clippers. The shaft that the top piece is attached to will gradually bend around the thinnest point in the metal and the formed cap on the underside of the shaft will gradually buckle and then shear off. This is happening with mine at the moment. This is after around 11 years of very low frequency use.

I've only had these a few weeks so can't comment on how long lasting they are yet. I bought them because all the clippers I own get loose somehow so they don't clip properly and just tear the nails. I wanted better quality ones which would last and these seemed to fit the bill from reading reviews. They are heavier and seem better made than the others I've owned. They are still just basic nail clippers, nothing different in the design, just a bit sturdier and heavier made. They cut nicely and I hope the sturdiness means they will last a very long time and be worth the small extra cost. I have Tweezerman tweezers which are a lot better than any others I've owned, so I know they have a track record of getting these basic products right.
