Kohm WHS-800

My toenails have been described by many as "The most hideous growing thing in the natural world" and "dream haunting" to name a few. I've lost my big toenail on my right foot so many times that it now grows slightly sideways, which is not only painful but now resembles a large, thick, green/yellow shaved almond protruding from a mummified cocktail weenie. After destroying all my wife's nail clippers trying to cut through the nasty, rock hard nail-of-satan, I began grinding away at it with a Dremel rotary tool. The friction cause a blister which then became infected and required a doctor visit. After the doctor finished vomiting into a nearby sink from the unpleasant sight an smell of zombie toe, he recommended these KlipPro clippers. Seeing as my only other option was to kill my toe with fire, I ordered the clippers with little hope that they would do more than bend and shatter under the immense pressure of cutting through petrified claw. Well, they work wonders! They are very sturdy and super sharp and my toenails actually look pretty good all trimmed up! I no longer cry myself to sleep at night while trying to muster the courage to chop my toe off with a camping ax.

I bought this specifically to cut my large toenails. My nails are wide and go down in the corners so I have to be very careful how I cut them. If done incorrectly, I get little points that lead to problems (and ever since a trip to the podiatrist years ago for one that I did not cut correctly, I vowed to be extremely careful so not to have to do that again!) , so regular clippers are out of the question. I did have a cutter I have been using for some time and it has stopped cutting as it has dulled and the last time I used them I had a nail shard ricochet around the bathroom and land in the tub behind me... definitely time to look for something else. Needless to say I bought it right after I used my old cutter and this one looks much more menacing as it has a curved cutter blade and is about 20% larger than my other one. The other night my one nail was just being annoying as I make sure I let them grow out far enough and it was time to cut them... a bit hesitant at first with a new cutter... but after the first cut, it was such a relief as they worked very well. I was able to get down in the corners easily and all went well. So compared to my older cutters, these are definitely better. I do clean them and keep them in the protective head cover (as I do my other cutters ever since I bent one while traveling!). I definitely recommend them.

Easy to use. Love the easy grip handles! Easy on my arthritic hands.

I bought 2 different clippers so my husband and I could try and compare them. The KlipPro clippers were $5 more than the GoToFine clippers yet we absolutely cannot find ANY differences between them other than the fact that the KlipPro's were in a box-like package whereas the GoToFine's were on a cardboard with molded plastic front. The clippers look the same, feel the same, work the same. Now, as for how well they work: they're a great size and really easy to hold; they're hefty and feel well made; and they clip toenails very well. My husband especially likes the fact that he can finally reach his toenails thanks to the larger size. The only reason they're not 5-star is because the cutting part is more curved than I expected. I really wanted a straight edge since I'm prone to ingrown toenails and clippers that curve are much more likely to cut the skin-sides of the nail lower and encourage an ingrown to form. So neither brand meets that need for me. But on all other counts they are very good.

This clipper is fantastic and far outshines the one I bought it to replace. My old clipper was of similar design but lacked the oversized handles, making it more slippery to hold. Plus, the machining of the cutting jaws, while good enough to ensure successful clipping of thick, ingrown toenails, lacked a precision sufficient to enable perfect control of a cut, largely because of an inability of the jaws to grip the nail the instant pressure was applied. The Khom clipper excels in that aspect, and is razor-sharp, to boot. Not only did I buy this clipper to replace another, but I needed it to perform a very delicate DIY "surgery" on the nail of my right index finger, which had been chomped accidentally more than a year ago while I was playing with a puppy. The nail bed under the center of the nail had been injured so much that it would never quite heal, even with the damaged nail continuing to grow out. After dealing with two minor infections, I realized that I needed to cut a channel down the center of the nail to open up the damaged area to let it heal. There being no active nail bed to bind the part of the nail I was cutting away, this was a completely painless and bloodless process, and the Khom clipper was sharp right to the tip of the jaws, allowing me to make tiny but precise cuts to remove enough nail to be able to apply antibiotic ointment directly to the wounded nail bed to finally start it healing once and for all. I was not disappointed in the performance of the clipper and highly recommend it!

The clippers and sharp and strong. The handle is slightly longer than many clippers which gives them a stronger grip and makes them easier to use. I bought a second pair to use at our second home. These are excellent value for the money.

I carefully read sellers' descriptions and several Amazon reviews of this item and competitors' before settling upon it. My first inclination was to buy German -- Solingen to be more exact. Products manufactured there (while expensive) have a reputation for excellent materials, fit, and finish. But I read several less-than-complimentary Amazon reviews of Solingen-manufactured clippers -- stating that the springs were prone to fall out and that the jaws sometimes closed with gaps or poor alignment. I did not want to drop around $40 for a pair of nail clippers that failed and had to be returned. On the other hand, I was a bit apprehensive upon reading that this item is manufactured in Asia -- although sold by an excellent US firm. My ultimate choice of this item was partially based upon the seller's description and partially upon other Amazon reviews .... I liked the length of the handles -- I have tough nails and wanted to maximize leverage. I liked reports that the edges of these clippers were sharp and smooth, and fit together truly and without gaps. And, I liked both the Amazon description and reviews regarding manufacturing materials -- I wanted stainless steel, because I have seen (even expensive German) clippers corrode with ordinary use and cleaning. I was not disappointed in any way. These clippers are "keepers," made of excellent materials, thoughtfully designed, carefully machined, and proportioned for easy use on the toughest nails. I anticipate (based upon my initial experience with them) that I shall keep them as lifelong workhorses. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Amazon reviewers for giving me guidance on this item that turned out to be truthful, informative, and thoughtful!

These work well. No struggle cutting thick nails.
