Staleks Classic Nail Nippers - Silver

These nippers are designed for correcting the length of thin and medium nail plates on both fingers and toes.

While the tapered ends offer precision, these nippers are primarily designed for nail length correction. For cuticle work, specific cuticle nippers are recommended.

Proper cleaning and thorough drying after each use are crucial. Store the nippers in a dry environment. The GOI paste polishing provides inherent resistance, but good maintenance practices are still essential.

The nippers weigh approximately 0.11 pounds, which is considered a standard and balanced weight for professional tools, allowing for control without fatigue.

The reinforced curved handles are designed to fit comfortably in the palm, providing additional resistance and a secure grip for better control and precision during use.

Sharpening frequency depends on usage. For professional use, it's recommended to have them professionally inspected and sharpened as needed, typically when you notice a decrease in cutting performance.

Ensure the nippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a small drop of specialized tool oil to the pivot point and work the handles gently. If stiffness persists, check for any obstructions or potential damage.

The blades may require sharpening. Professional sharpening is recommended. Ensure you are not attempting to cut nails that are too thick for the nippers' intended use.

Minor rust spots can sometimes be gently buffed away with a very fine abrasive material like a metal polish designed for tools, followed by thorough cleaning and drying. Preventative measures like proper drying and storage are key to avoiding rust.
