I carefully read sellers' descriptions and several Amazon reviews of this item and competitors' before settling upon it.My first inclination was to buy German -- Solingen to be more exact. Products manufactured there (while expensive) have a reputation for excellent materials, fit, and finish.But I read several less-than-complimentary Amazon reviews of Solingen-manufactured clippers -- stating that the springs were prone to fall out and that the jaws sometimes closed with gaps or poor alignment. I did not want to drop around $40 for a pair of nail clippers that failed and had to be returned.On the other hand, I was a bit apprehensive upon reading that this item is manufactured in Asia -- although sold by an excellent US firm.My ultimate choice of this item was partially based upon the seller's description and partially upon other Amazon reviews ....I liked the length of the handles -- I have tough nails and wanted to maximize leverage.I liked reports that the edges of these clippers were sharp and smooth, and fit together truly and without gaps.And, I liked both the Amazon description and reviews regarding manufacturing materials -- I wanted stainless steel, because I have seen (even expensive German) clippers corrode with ordinary use and cleaning.I was not disappointed in any way. These clippers are "keepers," made of excellent materials, thoughtfully designed, carefully machined, and proportioned for easy use on the toughest nails. I anticipate (based upon my initial experience with them) that I shall keep them as lifelong workhorses.I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Amazon reviewers for giving me guidance on this item that turned out to be truthful, informative, and thoughtful!

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.
