How do I cut toenails correctly and which nail clippers are best for this?
What's the best way to cut thick and strong nails?
Strong Nails, especially toenails, require special care. We offer our nail clippers with Translation , with various Head shapes and lengths .
For people with large hands, we recommend the longer version with 16 cm and 14 cm to acquire. The head shapes differ in straight and curved shape.
The curved shape makes it especially easy to cut along the natural shape of the nail. The straight shape, on the other hand, is easier to use and is particularly suitable for the front part of toenails, but also for cutting nails on the thumb or big toe. Both head shapes allow you to cut precisely and accurately without damaging the nail.
What are the advantages of nail clippers with a gear mechanism?

Nail clippers or rather a head cutter?
What is the difference?
Nail clippers are a subcategory of nail clippers and represent a special type of nail clipper. Compared to ordinary nail clippers, nail clippers have a very fine , tapered cutting edge . This allows you to reach the corners of your nails even more effectively and cut along their natural curve. A classic nail clipper has a flame-shaped blade, as shown below. The image illustrates the curved, tapered shape, which allows you to get into every corner of a nail ( especially thick and ingrown nails ).

Nail clippers or nail scissors
Nail scissors are particularly well-suited for cutting thin fingernails or toenails . We also offer a wide selection of nail scissors here, including pointed, curved , and ultra-sharp models for very fine work. For travel, we personally recommend combination scissors , which can be used as both cuticle scissors and nail scissors.
