Okay, we’re not cooking here—but let’s break down the “parts” of a nail clipper:
- Stainless steel or metal body
- Lever for tension
- Cutting blades
- Tiny pin and hole (the mystery feature!)
- Nail file (often attached)
Optional Additions
Some clippers come with:
- Built-in nail catcher
- Swivel head for better angles
- Magnifying glass (for precision)
- Keychain ring
- Decorative handles or colors
Tips for Success
- Keep your clippers clean to avoid bacteria buildup.
- Cut nails after a shower—they’re softer and easier to trim.
- Trim straight across to prevent ingrown nails.
- Use the file to smooth edges and prevent snags.
- Don’t ignore that tiny hole—it’s there for a reason!
