Knipser (also called clipper) is a miniature mechanical forceps for nail care. This tool can be found in most kits for home manicure. In fact, the clipper is needed for the same as nail scissors, to remove the regrown part of the nail plate, however, it has several advantages over the latter.

Knipsera for manicure, as a rule, are made of a metal alloy, which may include carbon, silicon, magnesium or chromium. Some manufacturers, such as Zinger, cover their manicure tools with gold or silver plating. The gold coating is more likely to give the product an attractive appearance and a certain status. Silver since ancient times is known for its disinfectant properties. It prevents bacteria and harmful microorganisms from multiplying on the surface of the instrument, so you don’t have to worry too much about the sterility of the device.

Such a tool will be of poor quality and will fall apart even faster than it begins to rust, and the cutting edge will become dull after a couple of months of active use.

It is necessary to choose a knipser with a cutting blade as wide as a nail on the thumbthen use will be as efficient as possible. The lever should be pressed smoothly, effortlessly and without a squeak. It is very good if there are grooves on the surface of the knupser.Thanks to them, the tool does not slip out of the hands at the most inopportune moment.
