I have owned several different pairs of these and I find this brand to be very hi quality ,.Worth the money

Quality product.

My wife and I were so tired of drugstore trimmers and their worthless misaligned nippers, sloppy joints and easily broken jaws. So I decided to spring for these trimmers (they cost more than drugstore trimmers) and see if we could finally have a dependable set for trimming cuticles, nails and pieces of skin.The pivot joint was the first thing I checked and it was both aligned properly and rotated smoothly. Then I looked at the jaws. Again, aligned for proper cutting and very sharp. So the final check was on their operation. My wife commented on their ease of cutting and the fact that she could get into a corner for precisely cutting cuticles back. So we were both happy. These clippers do the job...dj

The pressure wing broke off. Poorly designed.

Very sharp and it will last a long time. Careful, though, it will cut everything.

broken spring and no way to replace it. This is an avoidable problem. It would be easy for the manufacturer to provide replacement spring parts as they are easily replaced with one screw.

This is the second such cuticle nipper I have bought. The first one was and still is flawless. The second one, reviewed here, arrived with a broken spring. The spring with a single tooth had lost its tooth, and so no longer mates with the other spring, which has two teeth, between which the single toot is to fit. The break is clean, and the broken surface rough, but no sign of bending. It appears that the spring was hardened by never properly tempered, rendering the spring metal glass-hard and brittle. So, I'll be needing some properly-tempered replacement springs, from the spring manufacturer of some years ago.Update (17 July 2022): I contacted GERmanikure directly (at < [email protected]>), and requested under warrantee a replacement set of springs, which have now been installed, and all is well. GERmanikure says that these new springs are of a new design that will resolve the problem. We'll see if they hold up and report back.For the record, the screw that holds spring to nipper handle is metric, requiring a flat screwdriver blade 3.5mm wide, and has the standard slot width for 3.5mm screwdrivers.

I ordered another brand for $23, but sent it back after reading the reviews for this model. The differences were like night and day. This is of very high quality, something we don't see any more. The fit and finish are incredible. The cutting edge is razor sharp and aligns perfectly to do its job. It's comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver. I've never owned a pair of cuticle nippers that cuts so well. The brace in the middle fits exceptionally well and doesn't slip out of place when in use. I especially like that it comes with a plastic cover for the tip, plus a leather case to further protect the tip. This is absolutely a case where you get what you pay for. You won't be disappointed in my opinion.
