Nagelschere purchase is always a bit tricky after I acquired after a fall in the bathtub its peak lost had to be a new one. I'm very happy with this unit, my expectations were met. The result is a clean cut, even with solid nails the edges Franzen not and the scissors are sharp down to the tips. Also it is so stable that they are in firmer nails not "bends up" and thus produces a ragged cut.
