Body Toolz Ingrown Toenail Clipper

Bonne qualité

I have terrible toes that plague me with ingrown nails every couple months. They got so bad I actually had to go to the doctor's and have it removed professionally after a night of agony. This is not fun because the doctor actually slices open your already infected toe and starts clipping away, so walking is pretty painful for about a week afterwards.Well lo-and-behold a couple months after my visit I had another ingrown toenail on the OTHER side of that same toe. I did NOT want to go the hospital again an limp around for a week, so I looked for something I could fix it with myself. I found these clippers and bought them immediately.I am so glad I did. They work great, and do what is advertised. The nose is very sharp and easy to wedge into those really hard to reach spots near the root of your nail. The built quality is good, they are solid metal with sharp edges on the cutter. The only downside of them is, it will still hurt to remove an ingrown toenail. It's not the fault of the product, it's just that if you want to clear it all out you will have to shove these things under the toenail. If you've ever cut your fingernails too short you know how sensitive that skin is under there. For that reason keep everything sanitary and put a bandage on after.Overall I would recommend these over a doctors visit. It works well, hurts less and doesn't leave you with a deformed, ugly looking toenail like the medical procedure will.

I'm impressed with the quality of this tool for the price. The clippers were easy to use with the spring loaded handles and the weight of the clippers felt very nice in my hand. I am only giving it 4 stars because it was a bit tough clipping through my husband's toenails, mainly because they are fairly thick. Using just the tip of the clippers and slowly clipping across the nail worked better than taking a large portion of nail in the clipper which would not cut through the nail easily. It tended to pull and tear the nail. Overall, still a good tool for the price.

For years I suffered from a couple of ingrown toenails. After changing nail clippers a few times to no avail I decided to ask someone who was well versed in the art of pedicure. She told me, "you men don't understand that you need more that one universal nail clipper to do the job of nail clipping." She was right. I used my toenail clipper to dig into the flesh and perform all kinds of carvings. But I was not able to get all the nail cleanly, or even completely.Body Toolz Ingrown Toenail Clipper looked like a wire cutter. It did not seem be the answer for my need, but it was. The tool, I had noticed in the picture, that had very pointed sharp ends. It meant it could do what I had been doing with great pain with my regular clippers,, and that was pushing my clippers against the flesh on my toes beneath the nails, then grabbing the nail inside the flesh, then cutting it. Well, this tool seemed had a much narrower tip than my regular toenail clippers, so it could sink into the flesh deeper with more ease. And the cutter would be right there at the tip where the clipper had reached the furthest.So, I Thought I will take a chance on this tool. unless it would turn out to be one of those good ideas that don't work in the real world, it was worth the try, I thought. Well, I now have to tool and am happy to say that it worked exactly as I indicated. It's shape allows it to reach to the furthest part of the nail and it snaps the nail deep inside the flesh.Sometime precision tools wear out quickly. My Body Toolz is new, only I have used it 3 times in the past 4 months. I can't speak to its long term durability but i can tell you that it really is a precise instrument, and that it has worked well for me. Perhaps other brands are as good as this brand, I don't know. I suppose my admiration is mainly towards the tool itself and not necessarily its brand.

The points of the clipper are too sharp in my opinion. I filed them down to rounded points. Also the blade edges do not meet toward the axis. So the cutting edge is only near the tip. Other than that the item is quite well made.
