Regular clippers, made of cheap steel, simply crush nails then fall apart after dulling. GERmanikure clippers are made of imported, surgical-grade steel from Sweden, the hardest steel available. This special steel keeps our clippers sharp for decades. We then secure the base with precisely machined rivets produced by a Swiss watch manufacturer, to ensure the clipper will never fall apart. Our 'pin and post' contraction provides durability and a smooth operation. GERMANIKURE clippers are a true example of quality German engineering and production.
