Excellent design and thoughtful engineering.
One of those mundane and boring items that you don't think about much until you need them...and then you REALLY need them. Initially I thought this set was too expensive, especially when compared to other clippers I have owned. Then, I realized that I must have bought, tried, and abandoned, enough clippers over the years, that I easily exceeded the price for this set. More about the price in a minute. This Klipit set includes two clippers; one for your fingernails and a larger one for your toenails. Both are very well made (construction is stainless steel), and they are identical, except for the size. Many of the features seem specifically designed to address the minor annoyances that come with using such tools: - Very strong, heavy, and solid feeling; this helps to control them during use; - The hole for attaching to a keyring is not covered when the tool is folded closed; - There is a small -- but very useful -- "emery board" built into the underside of the folding lever...great for smoothing rough edges after clipping; - They come with a small, re-sealable, "zip-loc" plastic pouch for travel and storage. I have always had difficulty with clippers slipping out of my hand during use. I put a 1" split-ring through the hole on each clipper, and slip my finger through it when grasping the clipper...making it much easier to control. The weight, smooth operation, and ergonomic styling of the clippers make it much easier, as well. I really appreciate that the lever does not cover – and thus interfere with – adding the split-ring. By the way, both clippers fit nicely into the zip-loc case, even with a 1" split-ring installed on each. Fair disclosure: After writing most of this review, I was looking over the packaging, and saw that there was information printed on the inside surface of the box. After unfolding it, I saw that the company offers you a second set of clippers if you are willing to write a review. There are apparently no restrictions on what you put into the review – just that you do one. Once they see that you have posted your review, they send you the second set; so the price per set is cut in half. There is a Lifetime warranty. They are made in China – which is the only problem I see with them...I would rather "Buy American". Still – Highly Recommended, and I would purchase again.
