Review (3/5): Catches clippings, has a sharp cut, but not always a clean cut
The best thing about these are the nail catchers. Make sure you've slid it all the way down, and it'll catch most of the clippings and you can just dump it into the trash after each nail.
It's a nice, sharp cut.
The one thing I don't like is that as I make clips on my fingers, it ends up fraying my nails in different places. I end up with little white spots where each cut wasn't perfect. No other clippers I've used cause this. It goes away after 3 or 4 days as it gets naturally worn away, but it's annoying.
I suspect that it's because although it's a sharp cut, the surfaces of the blades (on BOTH of my clippers) don't mate perfectly and rip the nail away wherever those small gaps are. Closing them and holding up to the light, I see gaps. The toe clipper's gaps aren't as bad so the white spots are infrequent and I get cleaner cuts all the way across. The gaps on the finger clippers are more prominent, and I always get the white spots on all of my fingers. I'm not the type of guy who gets manicures, so I just want to do clean, even clips and be done, and not spend time filing if I already did a good, even cut...but I know women are particular about nails, so it bothers me that they may notice these white spots if I don't take the time to get rid of all of them.
