Product review (3 stars): Inadequate Cutting Edges
The best thing about this set is the case. It's really quite beautiful, almost like a little coach bag. I also like the variety of tools, all of which have a nice sturdy heft to them - they're not lightweight tools.  BUT... the edges on the cutting tools are not very sharp. Rather than a satisfying click that sends a finger or toe nail flying off in some unpredictable direction, you get a smushy, crushing effect in which you're not even sure if the toenail has even been separated, and even when they are, they end up with a ragged rather than smooth edge. Fortunately, the kit comes with a small emory board, because you'll need it.

I ended up buying a cheap pair of drug-store clippers, which offer the nice clean, sharp, satisfying cut that are the hallmark of a really satisfying nail tool. I only use the kit for the other manicure tools, which work fine.

Not recommended.
