I like this nail clipper better than other more expensive ones I’ve tried with the guard on them. With those, you can’t really see how much you are cutting. Besides, each nail is a different length oftentimes, so you have to keep resetting the guard. This one is a straightforward scissor type clipper with great visibility, it’s very sharp, cuts well and quickly, and is easier to use. I can get both cats’ nails done in the time it took me to do one with previous clippers.See full review
