MehazProfessional 660 Professional Nail Clipper (model: 9mc0660)

I give it a 3 stars for being very sharp. The cutting mouth can be wider, it it too narrow as it is. the cutting gap can also be taller for easier access to put between nail. Overall the cutter length is good, but the cutter can be wider, it is too narrow as it is.

First things first, these are actually KAI clippers which have seemingly been cross-branded as "MEHAZ" for distribution purposes. Make no mistake, however, that KAI actually manufactures these (KAI, as you may be aware, is the parent company of the high-end Shun knife brand). All over, they are marked with "KAI", the same logo that you'll find on your Shun knives. You can't see it in the stock photo, but they're branded "KAI" twice on the steel body, "KAI" once on the plastic holster, and "MEHAZ" once on the end of the lever.Also, these are made in Japan, just like you would expect from any KAI cutlery (they are marked "Made in Japan" all over). Does this make a difference? Absolutely. As anyone who's familiar with cutlery knows, high-end consumer cutting devices usually come from Germany or Japan. The extra cost of manufacturing in Japan is evident when these clippers are in your hand. The entire device is made of brushed stainless steel (lever, body, and fulcrum) so it won't rust if water collects on it. The clippers have a nice weight in the hand, and the lever has a satisfying feel as it is pushed downward. The only qualm I have with the cutting action is the lever does not come to a complete stop when pushed down, but rather the assembly of the clipper allows the lever to be pushed further downward with additional force. This means that clumsy or brutish people who exert a lot of force on these might put excess stress on the fulcrum of the device, which might wear it out over time.More about the design - the cut is as you would expect from a "Made in Japan" KAI device; it gives a precise, satisfying "click" as it cuts at the brittlest of nails. I have not owned these clippers for long, so I cannot comment about the longetivity of the blades on the clipper. The clipper also has a small hole on the rear of the body (presumably for lanyards or something like that). Also, there is a similar slot at the end of the plastic holster, which brings me to that feature.These clippers come housed in a plastic holster which is presumably for storing clipped nails. Also, the holster has a steel nail file on the underside, and like the clippers, is marked "KAI Made in Japan". The holster is moderately cumbersome because it restricts the angle you can clip at (you can see in the stock photo that it obscures the edges of the blade arc). However, the holster is easily removed; it takes about 1 second or even less if you are particularly nimble. Another review on here deducted an entire star because of this design feature. That's nonsensical - you need to remove the holster anyway when you dispose of the clippings, so why would removing it once merit a 4-star review? I was irked by that because these are 5-star clippers and truly don't deserve a 4-star review from someone hunting for reasons to justify it.Finally, these clippers are a bit less expensive than the other well-reviewed clippers on Amazon (the Seki Edge ones). I haven't tried those, but judging by the design and manufacturing origin of the two, I'm guessing that they cut and are in fact designed very similarly. Therefore, at nearly half the price of the Seki Edge, I think that these KAI clippers are a great value.

This clipper cuts well however you need to be careful to position the angle jaws . It is easy to cut deeper.It is a great nail clipper and one of the best I found .

I have always been the person to purchase the cheap nail clippers at the pharmacy, but decided to spend a little more this time. I am that happy I did.First, the bad stuff. The nail clipping catcher is pretty much useless and I have yet to see it function correctly. It's not hard to remove, but I just leave it on since it does not get in the way. It just doesn't really do anything.The nail file is also built into this cover, which makes it pretty awkward to use. i would suggest getting a stand alone nail file.The above two things are why I took a star off.Now, the weird part I had to get use to, the flat face above/below the blades. It's hard to describe, but I will do my best. The blades come down vertically, which leaves a flat part that your finger needs to push against to get to the blade. It's is something I have become use to now, but it does require you to come in at a different angle compared to cheaper models with a thinner face.Now, the good stuff.This body and lever are much larger than cheaper nail clippers, which makes this thing super easy to handle. The longer lever combined with sharp blades makes it cut really easily.The metal is also thick and solid, which makes me believe these will last for many years. My cheap ones were damaged when in my suitcase during travel and I doubt these new ones would have become damaged in the same situation.A worthwhile purchase and while I didn't give them 5 stars, I would purchase them again. I wish they would give up on the nail catcher though and put a fold out fingernail cleaner and nail file on the device; or just leave them off completely.

This nail clippers is a massive improvement over my old pair - these are quite a bit sharper. They cut easier and far more cleanly - that dreaded "fresh cut nails" feeling is far, far less severe with these.Any clippers, no matter the quality, will eventually dull and give a worse cut. The only question is how long it'll take. Thankfully, these haven't yet showed any signs of dulling at all after a month and a half of regular use. My job has me work in a room with stringent cleaning controls. One of those requirements is to keep my fingernails short - meaning I have to cut them quite regularly - and probably far more often than most people. I'm the only person using them so take that for what you will.I removed one star because of the plastic clipping catcher. While it did it's job, it was very difficult to remove and was have been a pain in the neck to try to empty on a regular basis. I ended up just throwing it away since it's easier to just clip my nails over a trash can or the toilet anyway.
