The best nail pliers
We want to help you answer the following questions about nail clippers?
First, a few advantages and disadvantages of nail clippers.
Advantages of nail clippers:
- less effort required to cut nails compared to nail scissors & nail clippers
- lie comfortably in the hand when cutting
- for both fingernails and toenails
- low risk of injury due to gentle construction (no dangerous spikes)
Disadvantages of nail clippers:
- often more expensive than nail scissors & nail clippers
- large selection of models & different shapes of the cutting edge (difficult decision-making)
- Loss of cutting ability due to misuse (cutting wires, etc.)
Despite the disadvantages, nail clippers are professional tools used by podiatrists and beauticians for cutting fingernails or toenails, especially when it comes to strong, thick or ingrown nails is.
Which type of nail clipper is right for me?
Nail clippers come in the following shapes and these have different advantages depending on the shape of the cutting edge. Basically, these two shapes of cutting edge can be distinguished:
bent - adapt to the natural curved shape of fingernails and toenails
straight - especially to get into the corners of larger nails such as thumbnails or big toenails
Due to special needs, mixtures of straight and curved cutting edges were developed:
spire, super-spire - especially for corners
super slim - precise cutting with filigree tip
stable - general work on nails
What models of nail clippers are there?
After getting an overview of the different forms of cutting, let's move on to types:
Basically, the different types of models influence how much force they have to useto cut the nails.
single spring - moderate effort for normal thick nails
double spring - low effort also suitable for thicker nails
buffer spring - moderate effort by spring
head cutter - low effort and specially developed for the corners
nail clippers with gear- very little until no effort required
designed for thick & strong nails
Are nail nippers better than nail clippers or nail scissors?
Nail pliers are much more robust and durable than nail clippers because they can withstand significantly more force.
The biggest advantage is that nail clippers are more often designed for thicker and stronger nails such as toenails or harder thumbnails. These nail tools are also often used by professional users such as beauticians, chiropodists and podiatrists. That is why we clearly recommend nail clippers for home nail care, as less effort is required and better results are achieved.
At the end we would like to give you a few recommendations as to which nail clippers might be suitable for you. You should treat annoying nail edges with nail files such as a metal nail file or a sapphire nail file.
