Kohm Toenail Clippers | Super Control & Wide Jaws – Precision Stainless Steel Nail Nippers for Thick & Ingrown Nails | Podiatrist-Recommended Toe Nail Cutter

My toenails have been described by many as "The most hideous growing thing in the natural world" and "dream haunting" to name a few. I've lost my big toenail on my right foot so many times that it now grows slightly sideways, which is not only painful but now resembles a large, thick, green/yellow shaved almond protruding from a mummified cocktail weenie. After destroying all my wife's nail clippers trying to cut through the nasty, rock hard nail-of-satan, I began grinding away at it with a Dremel rotary tool. The friction cause a blister which then became infected and required a doctor visit. After the doctor finished vomiting into a nearby sink from the unpleasant sight an smell of zombie toe, he recommended these KlipPro clippers. Seeing as my only other option was to kill my toe with fire, I ordered the clippers with little hope that they would do more than bend and shatter under the immense pressure of cutting through petrified claw. Well, they work wonders! They are very sturdy and super sharp and my toenails actually look pretty good all trimmed up! I no longer cry myself to sleep at night while trying to muster the courage to chop my toe off with a camping ax.

Hey so I'm a 50 y/o guy whose toe nails have gotten thicker and I needed a pretty straight edge clipper to prevent me from cutting to low on the corners and getting ingrown nails. These work great. The plus is i bought a pair for work, I'm a vet tech. These are excellent for cats nails that grow all the way around or the "hugger" type nails found on pugs, frenchies and doxies. Yes you have to be careful of the pointed edge but they work great! Recommend.

Moving beyond some of the light-hearted comments about these, proper toenail maintenance is actually serious business. I had ingrown nails when very young resulting the removal of the big toenail. It grew back, and another one grew back over it, which left me with one double-thickness nail. I can’t believe it took me this long to finally research and buy a specialized clipper tool.The way I chose was I went to a podiatrist and looked at what they use and these are the most similar ones I could find, they may even be the same brand. I could have saved a few bucks because these are at the high end but not really that much more. Generally I’m glad I chose these.First off, you get a feeling of confidence that you get a very detailed and helpful instruction manual written in clean English with excellent illustrations. I didn’t expect that and I was impressed. You also get two different tip protectors to help prevent damage to the sharp working end of the tool. And there’s also a nice zippered travel bag so you can take them with you.Kohm has a surprisingly good web site to learn more details. These are described there as being made of “premium quality brushed stainless steel”. With so many things, especially kitchen appliances, using the words stainless steel so loosely and freely these days the term has lost some of its magic as something meaning high quality. These clippers are certainly heavy and feel solid, but unlike top quality tools they don’t feel like they are forged, but rather die-cast, which wouldn’t be as strong in some ways. That being said, while I’m not questioning the comments (some with photos) saying that the clippers “broke” I believe if they are used according to instructions that would be highly unlikely, specifically that you should only use the top 4-5 millimeters of the tip, in which case the entire end breaking off doesn’t seem possible. I can only say that I used them on my unusually thick double nail and they cut through like butter.Speaking of the instruction guide, note that the working end of this clipper is shaped differently from other similar clippers, I would say the curve is backwards. There’s a purpose for that, which is another good reason to read the instruction manual.I’m pleased with these and I like them.

These are nice toenail clippers for the price point. Made of stainless steel, they have a nice weighty feel in my hand. The tips are sharp and do a good job when cutting through thicker nails. I have a toe fungus and need to not only remove the dead nail that has lifted from the bed but the nasty undergrowth stuff. These clippers made short work of that. I made sure to soak my nails before i clipped them, as to make it easier for the metal to slice through the nail with ease. I love the curved tip, as it allows me to get in close and cleanly nip the nail off.Whats in the box:Nail clippers with a spring that can be flipped down in a resting conditionTip Guard x2Pouch x1Overall these clippers have functioned as designed. While other reviews have mentioned poor quality workmanship and/or breakage, these ones at this point, have tips that line up nicely and look to be of a decent quality.If you have thick nails, these are a nice set of clippers, that can do the job with ease.

I am very happy with this item. It works extremely well on my toenails (but better after a hot shower) and I hope I will be able to use it for a very long time. The adjustable tension lever also helps with heavier, thicker toenails as well.

I used this for clipping the extremely thickened toenails of my elderly neighbor. They are strong enough to cut through the thickest nails and yet nimble so you can control the cut. I would recommend this to help with thickened nails. The grip is very comfortable and doesn't take much effort to get a powerful shear action. I would not use it for small size nails, I think it would be too large.

They are sharp and durable, it does have some machining hot spots but, for the price no big deal

Good clippers, work well
