Pedicure — Professional Pedicure Tools from Solingen, Germany

13

Heavier instruments for toenails: wide-jaw clippers, strong nippers and files that survive a thick nail. Same steel and the same hand-set edges as the manicure line, sized for the load.

Questions we get

What makes a pedicure instrument different?

Leverage and jaw width. Toenails are thicker and harder than fingernails, and a light instrument flexes instead of cutting. Pedicure clippers and nippers are built heavier for exactly that load.

Clipper or nipper for thick toenails?

A nipper. It cuts in short controlled bites along the nail instead of trying to take it in one pass, which is what splits a thick nail rather than trimming it.

Are these suitable for diabetic foot care?

These are grooming instruments, not medical devices. If you have diabetes or any circulation or nerve condition of the foot, ask a podiatrist before trimming your own nails.

How should I care for them?

Dry the blades and the joint after every use and put the instrument back in its case. A drop of oil in the pivot once a month keeps the action smooth.
