Erbe Solingen Stainless Steel Nail Nipper, Box Joint

Very good quality, bad presentation

For the high quality items they sell, I would expect the item I purchased to look pristine in the plastic shell it came in, as I was giving this as a gift for the holidays. I wrote customer service twice and received the same reply --- they all come like this from Germany. If you want to return it, we'll give you a refund. I didn't want a refund. I just wanted the package to look brand new - not half opened and the plastic front cracked. For the price and quality of their items, you should expect the item to look great. I still gave it as a gift to my husband, but if it was anyone else I would not have given it because of how it was presented. As I said, very good quality but lousy customer service and presentation of product.

Not As Sharp As Expected

Having just had ingrown toenail surgery and my nails cut professionally by a podiatrist, on the Doctor's recommendation I decided to get a quality nipper to keep on top of things. After reading about ones everywhere, I decided on this Erbe 91748 with a box joint and ordered it on 10/20/2022. The sturdy construction had great appeal and the slight curve of the blade seemed ideal. When it arrived, the solid, box-joint construction and the curve of the blade were perfect. The spring mechanism and overall size were great. I then put it in a drawer for a month, as my toenails had to grow out. When I recently went to use it, the blade edges were not that sharp. It could not cut through a big piece of nail, as traditional "cheapo" toenail clippers from a drugstore could with thin toenails, but only "nip" small pieces at a time. There was no risk of cutting my finger running it over the blade edges. This is my first nipper. Perhaps my expectations were incorrect and that to be able to cut thick nails for many years, it can not have a very sharp edge, but I expected sharper.

Excellent Product!

I chose this Erbe Solingen Stainless Steel Nail Nipper, Box Joint because of the outstanding quality of workmanship. The manufacturing name Solingen speaks for itself and I would highly recommend it. The shipping/delivery service was excellent and I will definitely be a return customer. Thank you carrying such fine products.
