You're going to be cutting your nails the rest of your life, why not buy some clippers that do it well?
Why should I spend over $20 on a pair of nail clippers?  Short answer?  I hate the sound of nail files.  These precise and super sharp clippers leave my nails with a perfect edge and the metal slide back catcher keeps all but the largest of nails contained to dump out when I'm done clipping.  I had to hide these away from my wife so she doesn't grab them then leave them somewhere.  If you're on the edge about paying this much for some clippers, take the plunge, you're going to need clippers for the rest of your life, why not use something that does the job well?  If you need a cheaper option, look at Seki Edge SS-106 (or 107 if you prefer larger clippers to do your toenails as well).<br /><br />These Medium clippers work equally well on my fingernails as well as my toenails and leave a clean edge without a need to file.  In the rare case a file is needed, the one included in the handle doesn't trigger the &#34;nails on a chalkboard&#34; problem I have with traditional nail files, I've used it a couple of times to round out an edge that I messed up due to poor technique.
