Cuticle nippers are precision tools for cutting and removing excess or dead skin on hand and toenails (e.g. thumbnails and toenails) as well as other parts of the body. The very sharp cutting edge allows for very precise positioning and precise cutting of unwanted skin remnants. Cuticle nippers are specialty nippers used in manicures and pedicures and are particularly well-suited for professional use in foot care. Different sizes and cutting edge shapes indicate the possible uses in manicures or pedicures. You can find cuticle nippers with a scissor handle , a spring handle , or as nippers with a double spring and a single spring .
Single spring vs. double fields:
The double spring provides greater leverage than a single spring, which is especially helpful for thicker skin remnants. The cutting surface varies from model to model, and the head shape can also vary depending on the model.
Scissor grip vs. spring:
With the help of a scissor handle, they can cut very finely, but require some experience in positioning and applying pressure, as unlike single- or double-spring cuticle nippers, you won't feel any resistance. Cuticle nippers with a scissor handle are also particularly suitable for intermediate treatments where access would be somewhat more difficult with cuticle nippers.
Here too, it is necessary to rework with a nail file or a skin pusher to smooth and seal the cut surface.
