Nail clippers and nippers are tools used for nail care, but they serve slightly different purposes:
Nail Clippers
Design: Nail clippers are typically made of metal and have a curved or straight cutting edge. They come in various sizes and are often operated with a lever mechanism.
Use: They are primarily used to trim nails, making it easier to maintain a neat appearance. Nail clippers can be used on both fingernails and toenails.
Functionality: Most nail clippers have a built-in file or a rough edge to smooth out the edges after cutting.
Nail Nippers
Design: Nail nippers are also made of metal but have a different shape and cutting mechanism. They usually have a pointed tip and a spring mechanism that helps in the cutting action.
Use: Nail nippers are designed for more precise trimming, especially for thick or ingrown nails. They are often preferred by professionals for tasks that require more control, such as nail sculpting or detailed work on hangnails.
Functionality: The sharp cutting edges of nippers allow for clean cuts and are ideal for those with thicker nails or for specific nail care procedures.
