GERMANIKURE Professional Large Nail Clipper (8 cm) - FINOX Surgical Stainless Steel Manicure and Pedicure Tools in Leather Case- Ethically Made in Solingen Germany - 4712 - Travel Size Nail Care

I would rate these at a strong ‘5 stars plus’ because these are undoubtably the best clippers I’ve ever purchased. Sturdy and sharp yet precise enough for close nail trims. The accompanying leather case is also of obvious good quality. I am completely satisfied with the way these clippers perform. There are also an additional range of other manicure and pedicure products available. While they are priced higher than other brands of clippers, I can say the accuracy and ease of using these clippers makes them worth the price.

These are very sharp and accurate. I have two pair and purchased two more to give as gifts, however, Amazon sent one pair that had obviously been opened and used. Scrambling to find a gift for a family member to replace it on Christmas Eve. I'd like to say this is a rare occurrence, but it isn't. I even received a garment that was worn, damp, and had mildew. Another Lego gift was opened and had parts missing. While customer service took care of the issues, my confidence is lacking.

Excellent quality. Works well for both fingernails and toenails.

Bought these clippers for trimming fingernails only. The cutting edge is sharp and the edges seem to close all the way. Storage case is a nice addition. The clippers store in the case with the wide cutting edge the up position. There's enough of the clippers showing to put it in and pull it out by the sides. The case snaps shut and I've found that the clippers fit the easiest when you place the lever side towards the back of the case. I gave 4 out of 5 stars because I found the angle of the pivoting lever to be a little difficult to manage. It is hard to keep my thumb on the smooth, polished surface when I am adjusting the cutting edge around my fingernail. Maybe it should have less of an angle? or maybe there could be an additional small cushioned area where the circular imprint is? Overall, I am very pleased with the construction of these clippers and the top notch workmanship. Purchased these clippers in May 2023 and the case looks brand new and the clippers are still going strong.

I returned the product initially received due to manufacturing quality issues and provided a detailed 2 star review. I ordered the same product afresh, and found the item I have now received to be of the high quality that I expected from Germanikure.

Keeping in mind that this little clipper costs over $42, it is quite simply a rip-off. One side if the jaws does not close completely, so that side does not give a crisp clip but an annoying squish. (See image where light is visible on one side while the other side is fully closed.) Solingen quality? Not at all. The leather case is so tight it pulls, and the tab sticks out making it look like junk. (See image where the snap ball does not line up with the detent.) The narrowest part of the case passes over the widest part of the clipper jaws, so that the corners of the clipper jaws stick out. I am quite shocked that the Solingen name has come to this. I never thought I would say you are better off with any cheapo brands rather than this Solingen.

I ordered the large version to use for toenails. Unfortunately the jaw opening is so narrow there is no way to use it for toes. It would work fine for fingernails. If you have thick, curved toenails this won’t work. I think I will buy a Mehaz toenail clipper.

Nice, precise, and sharp

As promised. Very happy!

The sharpening and alignment of GERmanikure's FINOX clipper performs like surgical cutting blades to achieve a quick clean bite. The well designed lever mechanism effortlessly takes down the toughest toe nails. Laser etching on the logo and an engraved stainless steel insignia speaks to the quality of Solingen manufacturing. A bonus feature is the leather case with a textured lining that provides protection for the tool and its finely honed finish. Yes, it does cost more but the trade off is a well engineered product that supports a lifetime guarantee. Combine this with Amazon's free shipping and prompt delivery service makes it a worthwhile investment.

cut is very bad

While it’s an expensive affair, but trust me this is worth it! The best Nail Clipper ever..

It was a tough choice on deciding whether to keep or return the FINOX. The clipper is too large for male and female fingernails. It does not give a smoother rounded cut like a $4 chrome plated nail clipper from a dollar store. It does better with thick toe nails where cheaper and duller chrome plated toe nail clippers chew through rather than cut cleanly. When the cutting edges are compressed together, one of the corners do not bite down to close. In other words, the cutting edges leave a gap at one end. This is not acceptable. The other issue is the FINOX will squeak while cutting. This is caused by the moving upper plate rubbing up and down along the post that connects the moving upper and stationary lower plate. This is due to lack of clearance of the hole to the moving plate. Cheaper finger and toe nail clippers do not squeak. The finish is excellent and it will outlast any chrome plated clipper. The price does not justify the design flaws. I am returning it.
