Design
-
Determine how you will use the toenail clippers. If you are looking for a compact and travel-friendly pair of clippers, one with a smaller design will be ideal. Take note that the average toenail clipper measures slightly over three inches in length. Some clippers feature a straight-edge blade, which is commonly found in lower-priced clippers. Other clippers feature a curved blade for a more-precise cut on curved nails.
Features

Look and see if a particular toenail clipper has special design features. A unique feature of some toenail clippers is a nail catcher. This feature is designed to catch nails as you cut them to prevent messes or scattered nails. Another common feature to consider is the handle. Standard toenail clippers use thin steel handles that press together to contract the cutting blades. However, some clippers have wide handles with rubber finishes for a secure grip.
