Always used store bought clippers from places like CVS/Walgreens/Rite Aid. Clippers have always been less than $5. Went down a nail clipper rabbit hole and settled for the Green Bell G-1305 as it had a magnetic nail catcher and it was an all metal build. Let me say these are the greatest nail clippers I’ve ever used in terms of performance. Takes absurdly very little pressure to make cuts. The cuts are very precise and clean. There is no wiggle in the pusher as it’s pinned in place. The magnetic nail catcher is just over engineered in a good way and works very well. I didn’t say anything to my wife about these, just told her to try them. Her response was an eye raise accompanied by a “wow”. That is what you’re getting with these. You’re getting “wow”. Will plain old nail clippers from the local pharmacy work? Yes. But buying this clipper equates to buying high quality tools. The precision, fit and finish, and performance from high quality tools are value added benefits that aren’t always apparent until the tool is used and handled in person. If I had anything negative to say, it would be that i can’t just throw them into my clipper bin! I’m going to want to baby these to keep them in the best shape! Read more
Want to be a distinguished ape and stand out from the rest of the gorillas? Trim yo dang nails. Most nail clippers shoot your fanger clippins all over the place bc they dull as hail, but this... naw man, this is where it's at. Sharp as a katana; it'll cut thru yo raggedy, nasty fanger nails like butter. Worth the money. Pony up sucker, we clipping them nails. Read more
I purchased these as a replacement for my almost 30 year old pair of Solingen nail clippers which were a kind of basic shape that was not so comfortable or secure to hold when trimming my nails, and probably due to it's age fails to cut my nails well. After some research online I chose Green Bell G-1305. Wow, just excellent! - Very sharp, excellent cut quality and easy to cut too. - Comfortable and secure in use - Nail file is excellent - Nail clippings catcher is excellent - Overall it is a well made high quality item The nail catcher is something that I liked for the convenience of catching the clippings, but I thought it would be a bit of a clumsy add-on. However it is stainless steel, really well made, and fits securely in place with a small magnet. It is easily removed over a rubbish bin to empty out the clippings. If you tip up or shake the clippers before you empty the catcher then yes some small clippings are likely to fall out through the open clipper jaws but I found that if I was careful to avoid doing this then the catcher works really well. So it's a big thumbs up for me! Read more
Nice and sharp clipper. A bit big so best for toenail vs fingernail. You need to take off the part that contains the nail debris if you need to reach/cut the both ends of your nail, however. Read more
This is the one to get. The other models are amazing as well, but the magnetic catcher makes up for the one weakness the standard one has--nail clippings flying everywhere. It feels hefty in the hand and quality made, and functions perfectly. More than worth the $18 I spent for it. Read more
The compartment cover is magnetic and very easy to open and clean . Read more
These are the sharpest clippers I've ever owned. The standard drug store clippers feel like you're crushing your nails in comparison. I bought the small version of these first, but ended up wanting a wider set instead; I like them both, with a slight preference for the larger ones, even though I do not have particularly large fingers. They do take a bit to get used to: the blades are at a sharper angle than the standard drug store clippers (see picture: from top, the larger GreenBell clippers, the smaller set, and a drugstore set of clippers) which makes it a bit more difficult to see exactly what you're cutting. The built-in file is much nicer than the nail file on the drug store clippers, with results comparable to a diamond nail file. The nail catcher does a nice job of stopping nail bits from flying everywhere, and is easy to put on or remove. Most of the time, it's sufficient to just shake the clippers over a waste basket to empty the clipper of its accumulated nail bits. Read more
