Seki EDGEDeluxe Fingernail Clipper w/Nail Catcher & Built in File (SS-101)

Works well, comfortable to hold, cuts cleanly

Awhile back, I whined on a social media site about my nails snagging on stuff after I clipped them. A friend suggested that I try the Seki Edge Deluxe Fingernail Clipper. I have to admit that I usually buy inexpensive clippers, as I have a tendency to lose them. However, I am very glad that I spent a little more for these superior clippers. First, the blade is quite sharp, so you needn't apply much pressure when clipping your nails. Second, there is a small well in them that collects the clippings. The well isn't that large, so you need to empty it every few snips. However, even if the well is full, the clipping simply falls out rather than being launched into the air, as happens to me when I use cheap clippers. Third, a metal emery board is a built into the bottom of the clippers, which is a convenient feature. The clippers aren't perfect, and I find that I sometimes need to go over them twice to snip off small snags and rough edges, but they are solid and work better than most other clippers, so I am pleased with this purchase.

Great fingernail clippers! Our family now has three sets as well as Seki toenail clippers. We tried for about 15 years to find clippers that we liked, and these were the ones we settled on.Good points about them:• The holder is really nice. Very sturdy. It catches the fingernails so you can empty them afterwards.That was a key point I was looking for, and this does it well.• The built-in file at the bottom of the clippers is very good at smoothing fingernails.• The clipper width is slightly smaller than others I've used. That might seem like a drawback, but we find that it makes clipping nails much easier. It's easier to shape the fingernails.Not-so-great point about them:• I've used clippers that leave my fingernails smoother afterwards than these clippers do. It's not bad; just not the best I've used. I briefly use a file afterwards, so it's not a major drawback. The positives about the clipper far outweigh this issue, I think.

This is a good nail clipper and I use it over the other nail clippers I have in the same size. However, it is not sharper than my larger size nail clippers which keep my nails straighter. I do use it though.

I ordered this product after trying the toenail clipper and loving it. The fingernail clipper I received was junk in comparison due to poor quality control. There are pros and consThe clippers are well designed. They require less force to use due to the lever design and the grooves in the level allow for easier handling and less finger slippage. They come with convenient nail catchers that have a metal file embedded into them. This file is the best file I’ve ever used. It removes material like a coarse file but leaves a smooth edge like a fine file. I have no idea how this is possible, but kudos to Seki for that.Now, the bad. These clippers would be a solid 9/10 if the quality control was better. The first seki product I ordered was their toenail clipper. It worked amazingly, it would slice through nails effortlessly, leaving an smooth edge. I decided to purchase the fingernail version, and I was disappointed when I heard it crunch through my nail like a dollar store clipper, leaving a rough edge. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the blades on the fingernail clipper were misaligned to a noticeable degree compared to the toenail version. I believe this is why the blades were not slicing through as intended. Moreover, these clippers will rust even if you don’t get a lemon. This is down to the type of steel they use, which is great for holding a sharp edge but isn’t as rust resistant as stainless steel. This is just a cosmetic complaint as they seem to perform the same with or without rust, but something to be wary of if you live in a more humid climate like myself. If it bothers you, it can probably be removed with some polish.Overall, I would not recommend you buy these. They are a great product IF you manage to receive a good one. But if you invest money into these clippers there’s a random chance that you will receive a piece of junk. Given some of the other reviews on here I would say I’m not the only one. To charge that much for some nail clippers, there should be at least some minimal quality control. It’s a shame too, because these clippers are really great if you receive a decent set.Photos (left to right):-Fingernail clipper next to toenail clipper-toenail clipper blades, showing near-perfect blade alignment-fingernail clipper blades, showing misaligned blades-toenail clipper blades, showing rust-fingernail clipper blades, showing rust

These are the most amazing fingernail clippers ever. I was a little hesitant to spend the extra money on these versus the usual cheap nail clippers I get at Wal-mart but after reading other reviews I decided to go for it and I'm glad I did. The problem I always had with the cheap nail clippers is that one side of the clippers or the other was always dull and wouldn't clip the nails well. I was always trying to maneuver them into different positions to get a clean cut. Also, my nails were always a bit rough for the first 12-24 hrs after cutting my nails. Not with the Seki clippers. The Seki clippers are very sharp, clip the nails effortlessly and leave them smooth. These may cost more than the standard nail clipper but they're worth every penny! The only thing I didn't like about this product was the clipping catcher device, but I don't like those on any clippers. Not a big deal, I just pulled it off and through it away. The fingernail file is part of the clipping catcher though so be aware of that if that's important to you. Like I said though, they leave my nails very smooth anyway so the file is unnecessary anyway.
