Nail clippers, 2 1/2 in (6.4 cm).

An Essential Hygiene Accessory for Your Kits

Maintaining short and clean nails is a fundamental hygiene measure, particularly in manual work environments. This compact nail clipper features curved blades that follow the natural shape of the nail, allowing for a safe cut without the risk of splitting. Its small 6.4 cm format makes it the ideal accessory for toiletry bags, office first aid kits, or travel bags.

Including a nail clipper in a first aid kit is often overlooked, yet it proves very useful for trimming a broken nail that might catch and cause a more painful injury, or for removing debris lodged under the nail during minor care.

Technical Characteristics of the Nail Clipper

• Durable Chrome-Plated Steel: Offers excellent protection against corrosion and ensures a long-lasting sharp edge.

• Precision Curved Blades: Allow for a uniform and smooth cut by following the natural curvature of the nail.

• Ergonomic Lever: Designed to provide optimal pressure with minimal effort, ensuring easy handling for everyone.

• 6.4 cm (2.5 in) Format: Perfect portable size for travel and discreet storage.

• Integrated Nail File: Most models include a small pivoting file to soften edges after trimming.

How to Use and Maintain Your Nail Clipper

For best results, trim your nails after a shower when they are softer. Make several small cuts rather than trying to trim the nail all at once to prevent cracks. After use, it is recommended to clean the blades with an alcohol swab to maintain perfect hygiene, especially if the instrument is shared within a household.

Tips for Hand Care in the Workplace

In industrial or construction settings, a nail that is too long can become a safety hazard or a breeding ground for bacteria. Having a nail clipper available in the health and safety station allows employees to maintain proper hygiene. It is a simple but effective complement to skin care products and protective bandages.

FAQ Frequently asked questions about nail clippers

Is this nail clipper suitable for toenails?

This 6.4 cm model is primarily designed for fingernails. For toenails, which are generally thicker and harder, we recommend using a larger format nail clipper or specialized nail nippers.

Do the blades dull quickly?

Thanks to its treated steel construction, the blades retain their sharpness for many years if the tool is used only for nails. Avoid cutting other materials (wires, plastics) to preserve the integrity of the edge.

Is the lever slip-resistant?

The lever is designed with a texture or ergonomic shape that allows for a firm grip, even with slightly damp fingers, ensuring total control during trimming.
