Clyppi Nail Clippers with Swing Out Nail Cleaner/Nail File - Fingernail Clippers/Toe Nail Clippers. Sharp Stainless Steel with Wide Easy Press Lever

These are absolutely high-speed. Very sharp, easy to carry on my keyring, great file.

I have three different nail clippers, and overall I like Clyppi the best. However, I like different things about each one. I have the Tweezerman fingernail clippers, the Japanese Green Bell clipper, and these (the Clyppi fingernail clipper). Of these, the Clyppi is the only one with a built-in under-fingernail cleaner/nail file. The Clyppi cuts cleanly, but perhaps a bit too roughly; a nail file is definitely needed after the cut. The Clyppi cutting head is wider than the Green Bell's and the Tweezerman's. The Clyppi has a nice size and medium to light weight, and is nicely balanced in weight over the unit. By comparison, the Green Bell clippers are much heavier, but are strangely unbalanced in weight; sometimes I feel like they are going to fall out of my hand. The quality of the steel is good, though. The Green Bell clippers are also the largest of the three clippers. The Green Bell clippers have the narrowest clipping head, but they do a clean, smooth job of cutting. However, they may have some trouble getting into the corners of a nail, as the cutting head is somewhat rounded at the edges. The Green Bell clippers do have the shallowest cutting head, so it can get into smaller areas, if the roundedness of the cutting head is not a problem. The Tweezerman clippers do a nice job of cutting the nail cleanly. A good, basic, relatively smooth cut. They are the smallest in size of the three clippers I have, and yet also have the deepest cutting head, so getting into tight spaces could be an issue, but they have reasonably square corners on the cutting head to get into the tight corners. The cutting head is almost as wide as that on the Clyppi. I actually do have some other clippers, Revlon and such, but they cut with such poor quality I am not even considering them here.

This is by far the best fingernail clipper I've ever used, and I've used a lot of them. It is just superbly designed and immaculately engineered. First, the angle of the lever to the upper clipper arm is greater than other clippers, which leads to an easier, smoother cut. The end of the lever has a dimple so your finger doesn't slip, a highly common problem with other clippers. The file has filing surfaces on top and bottom, the bottom being the coarser of the two. This is no ordinary file either, it really gets the job done. Too many other clippers have finer surfaces, which don't do much to smooth out a jagged edge. Not the Clyppi's file, it's outstanding. I was worried a bit about the curvature of the nail-cleaning tip of the file, but it too is perfect. It has precisely the correct angle and depth, and for me cleans better than any other clipper I've ever had. It even gets that deep dirt from gardening that other clippers leave behind. And the blades are extraordinary. They're sharp, of course, but they also have exactly the right curvature. Nearly all other clippers have too narrow a curvature, which makes for jagged cuts across the nail, especially the middle fingernail. But not the Clyppi. It's curvature and sharpness together make for an ideal cut. Seriously, I don't think I'll ever find an equal to this cutter. It is absolute perfection.

I've had many pairs of nail clippers over the years, and Clyppi is much higher quality than any of them. That being said, Clyppi still has some issues. PROS: - Compared to any other nail clippers I've used, Clyppi requires far less force to clip through a nail. This is the best thing about Clyppi. - The blades are very sharp. They don't show any signs of dulling after clipping all fingernails and toenails ~10 times. CONS: - The angle between the base and the lever is greater than that of any other clippers I've used. This makes it slightly awkward to hold. My thumb tends to slide down the lever because of the angle. - It's possible for the lever to fall out of alignment with the pin that attaches it to the base, but only when the lever is flipped over in a very particular way (i.e. when the lever is inverted prior to storage of the clipper). When this happens, the lever gets jammed and the clipper is essentially broken. It can be fixed by popping the lever back into alignment, but this is rather difficult to do. (Suggestion to whoever designed Clyppi: make the hole in the lever fit more snugly with the pin.)

I have naturally strong nails that I keep a little long. I bought these clippers so I could have a good set of emergency clippers to replace some crappy ones that I already had. So I tried this Clyppi out yesterday. It left my fingernails ragged and sharp, and I couldn't get a straight cut to save my life. I always cut my nails after a shower, when they're the softest, which is what I did yesterday. That obviously didn't help these clippers. I already own a fantastic pair of clippers that I got maybe 22 years ago from a random beach gift shop, that still work great, but I don't know what brand they are, so I can't get more of them. (I'd have bought a dozen at the time, if I'd known how great they were going to be.) My clippers always leave my nails smooth and give me a good edge. And I know I didn't pay $15 for them, like I paid for the Clyppi. Because the Clyppi was so expensive, and had so many good reviews, I thought there's no way they'd be as bad as the dollar emergency clippers I already had. But any price for these Clyppis is too much, and I'm returning them. I'm very surprised these clippers have any good reviews.

Works well.

It's extremely rare I give items 5 stars and I won't say there is no flaws with these clippers, they are by far the best I have had in many years so are definitely worth the 5. They are very sharp, the lever gives an excellent amount of "power" allowing you to clip very easily. The fact that they have a nail file and a pretty damn good one built in is most excellent. But in fact, my only real complaint is actually a out the nail file, it has filing on both sides and its edges are quite sharp, I notice if I am not careful it will cut into my skin while attempting to file very closely cut nails. Anyway, they are fantastically god nail clippers and fully worth the $30 price tag.

I purchased these clippers about 8 months ago, and have used them regularly since so this review is after a fair test period. My 3 criteria for a successful purchase of nail clippers were: (1) Do they do the job well; (2) Are they well made; and (3) Do they look good. On all 3 counts this great product from Clyppi passed with flying colours. (1) The blades are sharp and a reasonable size, the clipping action is smooth and the overall size is good, big enough to be easy to use and small enough to be packed into a washbag. I cannot quite figure out why people (men at least) need different size clippers for fingers and toes, I certainly don't, these clippers are more than upto both jobs. There is a small file, which is a little too small, but the blades are so sharp that I have only needed to use the file on a couple of occasions. (2) After 8 months of use the clippers have stood up well, there is a small amount of scratching on the stainless steel body, but its very small and to be expected where the 'arm' rotates to move into the clipping position. The clippers have been very well made and are a good weight, I'm sure these will continue to serve me well for years to come. They show no sign of the blades becoming blunt, and are working as well as on day one. These aren't the cheapest on the market, but you get what you pay for and these clippers are worth paying a little extra for. (3) The aesthetic of the clippers is great, and the usability perfect for me. Its clear plenty of care and attention has gone into design in terms of form and function. The material (stainless steel), size and general design really work for me, I can't say enough good things about the design. The only thing that lets the product down from a design point of view is the packaging, which is a very pedestrian plastic box. The plastic box lets this great product down when you receive it, though when the box is in the bin you forgive it pretty quickly! With a better package this would make a great gift and its just a shame that the same care the designer put into the clippers wasn't put into the packaging.. Would I recommend it - Yes, definitely Pros - * Looks great * Sharp blades * Very well manufactured Cons - * Boring plastic box Value for money - 10/10

high precisition. But expensive!
