Nail and cuticle nippers are precise tools for manicure and pedicure. This category offers stainless steel Solingen nippers: small cuticle nippers (6 and 10 mm jaws), nail nippers from 10 to 16 cm for thick toenails, angled nippers for hard-to-reach spots and nippers with a 2/3 gold-plated handle.

The category is part of Manicure and pedicure.

Which nippers for which job

Type Purpose Features
Cuticle nippers Trimming excess cuticle and hangnails Short, sharp jaw (6–10 mm), about 10 cm long
Nail nippers Shortening finger and toenails Longer jaw and stronger leverage, 10–12 cm
Toenail nippers Thick, hard nails 13.5–16 cm long, more force with less effort
Angled nippers Nail corners and hard-to-reach spots Slanted jaw for more precise cutting

How to use nippers properly

  • Cut toenails straight across, not rounded at the corners – this lowers the risk of ingrown nails
  • Soak feet in lukewarm water before a pedicure – softened nails cut more easily
  • Do not cut cuticles too deeply; remove only the excess skin
  • After use wash and disinfect the nippers with alcohol, dry and keep them in a case
  • Do not share nippers, especially if there is a fungal nail infection

For shaping and trimming nails see also nail clippers and manicure and pedicure scissors.

Pharmacist's advice

People with diabetes, poor circulation or reduced sensation in the feet should take extra care when cutting toenails. Any cut may heal slowly – in that case a professional pedicure is the better choice.

Redness, swelling, pain or pus around a nail are signs of inflammation. Do not cut deeper in that area and see a doctor or pharmacist.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between nail nippers and cuticle nippers?
Cuticle nippers have a short, fine jaw for the skin around the nail; nail nippers have a longer, stronger jaw for shortening the nail itself.

How should toenails be cut to avoid ingrowing?
Straight across, without rounding the corners, and not too short. The nail edge should stay level with the tip of the toe.

How do I care for nippers?
Wash, disinfect with alcohol and dry them after each use. Occasionally put a drop of oil on the joint and store them in a case.
