It's really just a toenail clipper with loops. Mine is really sharp and the loops keep the nail clippers from slipping in my hands. I use these to cut the really thick claws on older cats. Many old cats have thick claws that don't split to reveal new sharp claws. They merely continue to get thicker and longer until they curve back and start growing into their toe pads. Using these, you must be careful not to cut the pads. It's not necessary to get that close. You just cut most of the way through the claw from the outer top edge towards the inside curve of the claw. If a little bit of claw is still intact near the pad, you can carefully try to cut it more, or hope that the remaining intact portion breaks off when the cat stretches or scratches on a post or catscratching pad. I was having issues with regular human nail clippers. Either I couldn't get enough leverage to cut through the claw, or the clipper handles would slip while I tried to maneuver them into the various positions needed to cut the claws. The loops really help keep the clipper secure while I worked and gave me the extra power to cut into very thick claws. I was able to trim four cats in quick succession with no accidents and minimal complaining. I use these in conjunction with the traditional scissors-style claw trimmers. They really work well.

Love it! Regular clippers are hard to hold and difficult to use if one has arthritis or is unable to get low enough to use them effectively. The longer handle plus scissor-type grips make it so easy to trim nails, even with arthritis or after a hip replacement, when one is not able to have the same range of motion LOVE THEM! Just enough extra length to give more leverage to create a cleaner and easier cut without losing control or hurting your fingers. Read more

It is well made but for me doesn’t work. It makes it harder than a smaller clip as makes my arm have to stretch farther which is what I was trying to avoid. It is well made however . I’m 73 so don’t think good for seniors. I will look for one that has an angle . Read more

it is possible to "pinch" your skin with these clippers but as a whole they work very well. There is no loss of grip or slipping with the looped handles and they are comfortable and easy to use. Read more

I have had 4 hand surgeries, so my dexterity leaves a lot to be desired. Using the traditional type clipper is impossible for me. I decided to give this product a try and was delighted to find it is very easy to use. I recommend highly. It is very easy to hold and to use. Read more

These clippers are EXACTLY what I needed. I have some arthritis in my left knee and unable to reach last three toes on my left foot. These clippers work great. I have no problem with my fingers fitting as some have had but, if you have large hands, can see that might be a problem. Definitely recommend. Read more

I was searching for nail clippers I could easily use because mild arthritis made it impossible for me to apply sufficient pressure to use the normal type. These are super easy to use and cut very neatly. Excellent product. Read more

I love these. They are so much easier to hold than the kind without handles. I do, however, wish the opening for the nail would be a bit wider, so thicker nails could be trimmed better. The handles give me greater control and are better for my hands. A good find. Be someone's sunshine. Read more
