I bought these clippers after suffering a major injury to my big toe. When the toenail finally grew back (2 years) it was thick and became ingrown. Your clippers took care of the job where regular fingernail clippers wimped-out . They were easy to handle as long as you don't stab your toe with the sharp corner. It is a valuable tool now for me. I'm 72 years old and cannot tolerate bending over for long. These clippers have alleviated that problem.
