KOHMToenail Clippers | Extra-Wide Blade & Non-Slip Grip for Thick, Ingrown & Fungal Nails | Heavy Duty Nail Cutter for Seniors, Men, Women & Pets

I wasn't sure about this tool, but WOW - what an upgrade from standard toenail clippers!! I ordered one and now I'm back to order three more to give to people in my family. In addition to using personally, I care for people with disabilities who have thick, almost horn-like toenails, and I've had them purchase their own. I also do foot care for my elderly mom, and this tool makes cutting other people's toenails safer, quicker and easier. A FANTASTIC tool.

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!

I do pedis professionally. I have been for 20 years! I love trying new products but these are the best I have ever worked with. Extremely sharp, extremely comfortable to hold, excellent grip & strength! Just wow!

Overall I like these clippers. They seem quite well made and finished. My issue is with using them. I have decent grip strength and my toe nails aren't particularly thick, so I was surprised at how difficult it was to cut my nails with these clippers. It took a while to position them in such a way that I had strength enough to actually get the job done. The toenail scissors I had been using, which were shorter than these did the job easily, but the sharp points on the long blades were a problem.These have longer handles, but I have to hold them towards the end of the handles and try several times to get the job done.That being said, once I was able to actually clip the nails, the finished job was quite good.I think that these are good clippers, but not for someone without good grip strength.

This clipper is fantastic and far outshines the one I bought it to replace. My old clipper was of similar design but lacked the oversized handles, making it more slippery to hold. Plus, the machining of the cutting jaws, while good enough to ensure successful clipping of thick, ingrown toenails, lacked a precision sufficient to enable perfect control of a cut, largely because of an inability of the jaws to grip the nail the instant pressure was applied. The Khom clipper excels in that aspect, and is razor-sharp, to boot. Not only did I buy this clipper to replace another, but I needed it to perform a very delicate DIY "surgery" on the nail of my right index finger, which had been chomped accidentally more than a year ago while I was playing with a puppy. The nail bed under the center of the nail had been injured so much that it would never quite heal, even with the damaged nail continuing to grow out. After dealing with two minor infections, I realized that I needed to cut a channel down the center of the nail to open up the damaged area to let it heal. There being no active nail bed to bind the part of the nail I was cutting away, this was a completely painless and bloodless process, and the Khom clipper was sharp right to the tip of the jaws, allowing me to make tiny but precise cuts to remove enough nail to be able to apply antibiotic ointment directly to the wounded nail bed to finally start it healing once and for all. I was not disappointed in the performance of the clipper and highly recommend it!

Of course, I would love to have a professional pedicure done when needed but in my case, it would be only if I am traveling and I could not do it myself. I have had my ingrown (big) toenails taken cared of by my podiatrist and I am not very happy how lightly salon pedicurists would clean my toenails for fear of too much cutting of the nails and cuticles around the nail bed. I originally bought the Kohm WHS-800 for my husband who every now and then would have thickened toenails. When I used it for the first time to do my own pedicure, gone are the nicks and cuts typical of when I use an ordinary nail clipper of worse the cuticle nipper to cut the corners of my toenails. This tool is a lifesaver! The ease of use, the grip, and the precision of how it is slightly bent at the end to get to just the right angle where you want to cut your nails. I am never using an ordinary nail clipper anymore. This is it! Thank you for a most wonderful grooming product.
