Can't imagine a superior model of nail-clippers
It's sometimes hard to tell from small web photos just how a product will look and feel for real. The amazon picture for this clipper did look quite appealing, but I can say that in real life the item's quality is even higher than I'd been expecting. Really excellently designed weight and shape for a man's medium-size hands; perfectly balanced tension against the blade-closing action; great surface texture for easy gripping and avoidance of dropping during use. I especially like the wider-than-usual outer end of the push-lever--it doesn't slip away from under your thumb.<br /><br />But the best part is how this clipper cuts through any sort of nails &#34;like butter&#34;--smoothly, so so easily. I can now trim my nails in half the time it used to take, and I no longer need to &#34;smooth out&#34; small sharp corners of nail that I used to get because of how the the whole instrument (older, smaller clippers I had) would move during the cutting action. It's very hard to find *any* purely straight-bladed nail clippers (which I find far more versatile than the curved ones) either online or in stores, and among the few available on amazon, I am convinced these can't be beat. The &#34;pro&#34; in its name is entirely appropriate.<br /><br />Note 1: When you first unpack this product, the gap between the two cutting edges might not seem as wide as you might like, particularly for larger toenails, but then it opens to a better size when you get the push-lever handle up.<br /><br />Note 2: This is my unvarnished and uncompensated opinion. The company did send me a very polite email a few days after I got the product, urging me to write a review, but not for any sort of consideration. I recommend them without reservation.
