Extra Strength Toenail Clipper with wide jaw opening precisely cuts large, thicker toenails while reducing the risk of splitting and ingrown nails. Large handle provides added strength, comfort and control. Soften thick toenails by soaking your feet for 10 minutes in warm water. Lift up and rotate lever of clippers. Clip nails into the desired shape by starting at the corners and clipping toward the center. Clip in small increments to reduce splitting. Next, clip the center to finish the shape. This will apply less stress on the natural nail and help prevent the chance of splitting while clipping. Finish by gently smoothing the nail edges with a nail file.
