First Years American Clipper Magnifier Reviews Summary

Magnifying Glass

Pros:

• "Everyone that I’ve recommended these to have commented how clever the magnifier is & how cute the clippers are."
• "These were a life saver with our very tiny daughter. If it were not for the magnifying glass I would not have seen what I was doing!"
• "The magnification helps immensely, and they are still light enough to maneuver easily."
• "If you have trouble seeing it has a magnifying glass on it that isn’t in your way if you don’t need it."
• "They cut great!! Make sure you look at the clippers first then look through the magnifying glass to make sure it's where it needs to be, just as a guide."
• "The magnifying glass tip does make a difference I can see the edges of where I'm about to cut much clearer."
• "The magnifier feature is a lifesaver as it allows me to see my son's tiny nails clearly and clip them safely."

Cons:

• "The magnifier part really got in the way."
• "I don’t use the magnifier because it doesn’t give me the depth perception to cut the nails and I’m afraid I’ll nick her skin."
• "The Magnifying glass is a good idea in concept but in practice it is a bigger detriment than an asset."
• "I feel like it didn't magnify it enough to help and the lens and the plastic around it got more in the way than anything."
• "The magnifying glass sucks so bad it ruins the whole design."
• "Not what was expected. The magnifying glass isn't really clear no matter how much I try to clean it and it's in the way."
• "The magnifying glass doesn’t lock into place so it moves if your child is wiggling."

Clipper Quality

Pros:

• "The other nail clippers feel too intense while this one has a softer cut for those tiny infant fingers."
• "Great to use for tiny baby nails since the clippers have a smaller width."
• "It is very easy to hold and good quality."
• "Probably the best baby/kids nail clippers I've used."
• "These are great. Very sharp and very small for baby."
• "It’s sharp enough to get a nice clean cut."
• "These are THE best baby nail clippers on the market. Not only are these sharp enough to clip through the nail super quick."

Cons:

• "The clippers are dull & do not clip clean edges like it has in prior times I've purchased the same product years ago."
• "Poor quality. Didn’t cut “clean” through my toddler’s nails."
• "Both became dull after two or three usages."
• "However I am very disappointed because they wouldn’t cut through my son’s paper thin nails!"
• "This new one must be manufactured somewhere else and is not good at all the edges overlap so it's not working."
• "The actual clippers are not as sharp as I'd like them to be."
• "These are ok but not great. My biggest issue with the is that they don’t actually cut well."

Durability

Pros:

• "I bought this for my first son and still use them, he’s 4 now."
• "My pair I've had for 10 years was the best clipper ever."
• "They do not make better finger nail clippers!! We have had them for 10 years!"
• "Received these at my baby shower in 2007 and only now replacing in 2021. Hands down the best nail clippers I have ever used."
• "We've had ours for 4 years and still going strong."
• "Absolutely the best nail clippers! We still have our original ones from when our son was born in 2005."
• "This product is very well made and has a very long use time."
