Title: Nail clipper with catch?
Post by: FIREin2018 on April 24, 2020, 06:36:54 PM

In all my decades of clipping my finger/toe nails with a cheap clipper, i never knew there were ones with built in nail catcher till i saw this:

Do they work?

I'm pretty sure we have/had a pair like that.  It kept the clippings from flying around.

That said, the most important thing to me is a clean cut, and since they're not in use, I don't think they made the cut, so to speak.

My next nail 'clipper' will be a rotary tool.

Yes, I have one and I love it. You can do the same on the cheap with a piece of adhesive tape installed over the sides of a regular nail clipper. It will probably require tape replacing after a while, but until then you can see if you like it or not.

Been using one for years. I never found the catch particularly useful though. It slides down too easily.
