And pliers and Dremel tool of course, but yeah this safety guard mod totally keeps you from cutting your nails too deep!
Edit: You’ll probably need to zoom in on the lower clipper blade to see the guard addition.
I don’t understand what you mean by “cutting too deep”. It’s supposed to cut all the way through, that’s the whole point.
It’s not supposed to cut into the skin silly! 😂
Or course it cuts all the way through the nail!
Not a problem I’ve ever had but I’m glad you found a solution to your problem!
It was pointed out to me today that this would be perfect for mothers trimming their young infant/toddler’s nails.
I think he means cutting the nail too short. So the guard stops the nail from going in too far and cutting the nails so short it hurts the nail bed underneath.
Personally I like my nails to be on the short side, since I do things like machining and woodworking as a hobby. Nothing ruins a fun day of working in the shop as folding or splitting a nail in the first 5 minutes. But I can understand for people who like to have their nails a bit on the longer side if this isn’t a concern.
Got it, that makes sense!
Wow, I managed to see the guard rail but boy was that hard to find
I hope they’re working well for you!
This has been a backburner idea of mine for like 3 years, I just finally got around to making this prototype today. Works way better than I expected even!
I was able to basically rip through all 10 fingernails and all 10 toenails within about 3 minutes, with not a single worry of cutting too deep 👍
Nice!
Wtf are you saying I don’t even know what I’m looking at here
Good zoom angle, thanks!
I’m still not sure what’s the best/appropriate way to post multiple images on Lemmy yet…
Look at the lower blade. Zoom in. I added a custom bent paperclip as a guard, to prevent from cutting too deep.
Looks like average nail clippers. What did you change?
