Stop buying those cheap nail clippers you see at the dollar store or even the more expensive ones elsewhere. The cheapies are just gonna shatter your nails and leave you a burr you need to sand down, and the more expensive ones aren't going to do what these bad boys do.

First of all, the fact that they open super wide is a big help with getting them seated right under your toe nails, if you have a difficult time bending to reach your feet or bending your legs to where you can actually trim them easier. Not being spring loaded helps a lot with putting pressure down to cut through the nail, but you won't even need to really do that. The main reason for that being that these puppies are stupid sharp.

Take a piece of paper and try to cut it with your old nail clippers. They might do it, but not as clean and as smooth as these will. These will chop through your nail like a hot knife through butter. Because they do such a good job doing that, you don't actually have to worry as bad about the nail you trimmed flying across the room like your old pair will do. Another plus side to the wide opening on the mouth is that you can more easily clean these clippers, if you even need to do that.

A neat little trick with these too, if you ever need to trim the end of a zip tie, these will go through it better than a pair of scissors or even a razor blade, leaving it smooth and rounded. Definitely not the intended use for these but hey, a good use is a good use, keep your ties neat and your or someone else's arms unsliced.

I have gone through a lot of nail clippers over the years. Even what were supposed to be good ones never held up. These clippers are amazing. They are heavy duty and super sharp, so much so that one needs to be careful when using them. I would hesitate letting children use them, even supervised. That said, they are still as good as the day I bought them and I suspect the only reason I would have to replace them is if I lose them.

The clippers worked great on my thicker nails. I have large hands and these were much easier to use.

These work great just be careful they are very sharp.

I'm a bit obsessed with short nails. These do a much better job than my old pairs. They cut toenails and fingernails with ease. When I first got them I wished the open jaws were a bit closer together, but once you use them a few times you won't really care. They cut better than any other pair I've had.
