HARAC Special Needs Nail Clippers for Arthritic Hands, Senior and Kids, Adapted Nail Clipper for Fingernail and Thick Toenail, Made in Japan (Green)

I have very arthritic hands. Most fingernail clippers are too slippery for me to great a grip strong enough to clip my thick, hard nails. These clippers are very sharp and easy to use. Best nail trim I’ve done in years!

It ships in rather nice packaging, which surprised me given the low price point.It's very easy and comfortable to hold. I bought it primarily because I suffer from Raynaud's Syndrome, making it very uncomfortable for me to touch cold objects, like metal. So the plastic outer portion of the clippers is great.The one feature I don't like is the fact that the plastic top of the clippers do not attach to the metal top of the clippers. I suppose this is because glue tends to wear away over time, and that would be the likely manner in which the metal hinge would be kept attached. So in order for me to get to the "filing" portion of the clippers (more on that in a second), I have to touch the metal lever and flip that up as well. The plastic cover just rotates without any effort, but the metal handle stays down unless you flip it up and back.The "filing" part of the device is an ellipsoidal surface (it's not a flat oval, it's rounded) that feels like it's covered with hundreds of tiny hooks or something. Very different from what I'm use to with "ordinary" clippers and the filing board that swings out. This surface is essentially sticky if you try to touch it–thus the sense that there's a ton of velcroish hooks there. Obviously, this isn't the case, as it does file fingernails very well, so it's not hooking anything by any means. Just a very odd-sensation for me–maybe this is what emory boards are like?In any case, in does it's job well. It doesn't cut as close as I'd like, but I'm probably in the vast majority with how short I like my nails. There often feels like "just a bit more" that I could clip off that the clippers can't get. But I think I'm just abnormal in that regard. This should satisfy most any user, I would imagine.

I read some of the reviews and saw that some people wished these were bigger. That gave me the impression that they are smaller than regular clippers, but that did not prepare me for the actual size. These would be great for newborns and maybe up to toddlers. They are definitely too small for an adult. My thumb nail is too thick to put into the opening and it would take about 3-4 cuts to cover the width of an adult fingernail. I hope the pictures next to fingernail and toenail clippers help show the difference. Try to look at the comparisons of the openings.. I plan on returning them and using the refund to buy a better pair. Update: I returned to Amazon and they quickly issued my refund. This product may be bad, but Amazon is A+!

I was skeptical but not anymore. I can cut my finger nails by myself with no problem. Yay! But I can't use this on my tough, fungusy toenails. Also, one little thing; it's a good thing these nail cutters use is pretty self-explanetory because all the instructions were in Chinese. No English tranlation.

neat product especially for elderly who don't have the strength to hold larger cutters

Got this for my mom. She's 77. Was able to grip and use with ease.

By far superior to the other hand held clipper . Easy to use and hold. It does not slips from your hand . There is also a great file inside. I'm very happy with this product.

I really liked the ease that the handles provided. But as a senior with less than perfect vision and a very small cutting opening I found them unusable for toenails. if they would make this with a wider cutting opening, that would be perfect for me.
