Resco Original Deluxe Dog, Cat, and Pet Nail/Claw Clippers. Best USA-Made Trimmer, More Colors & Sizes, Small/Medium, Chrome

Not much to say. The blades came plenty sharp and the tool is easy to hold. You'd think every nail trimmer would follow the same design philosophy, but I wouldn't have purchased these if my previous nail trimmers worked well.Other nail trimmers tend to have bulky rubber grips that have an unwieldly shape, or they have a floppy spring, or a loose fit on the cutting element. These trimmers don't suffer any of those issues.One minor complaint is that it's very easy to cut yourself on the corners of the blade if you're holding your pet's foot to work on it. Working on my smaller dog, I poked myself a couple of times, and drew blood. I don't see why those corners are so sharp, it feels like they should have been rounded out.Overall I don't have real complaints. Decent value for the money.

Very nicely engineered, costs a smidge more than other units, but worth it for my dog's comfort! Works very well, nice and solid, was able to do my old dogs nails without him getting all cranky! I do recoomend this clipper.

If you're smarter than me, you will not over analyze this decision. You have two choices... guillotine or scissor type, and it's a matter of preference. I prefer guillotine because I can see better and place the clipper on the nail more accurately. Don't spend a lot of money or time on this decision.I've used it about 4 - 5 times on each of my dogs (65 lb. bulldog mix and a 75 lb. boxer/hound mix). I've found that holding it backwards works best for me. It cuts cleanly and doesn't feel like it wants to crush the claw because the blade is on the inside with the blunt side on the waste side of the nail. I had a slight crush/cracking one time on one claw, and I probably tried to cut too much at one time. That's a disadvantage of this type of clipper, but, frankly, if you do what we should as dog owners and use it more frequently and cut less at a time, it works great! Now that I'm more routine (weekly vs. every 2 - 4 weeks), both dog's nails are now well maintained, smooth and blunt. If you like guillotine style clippers, buy this one and replace it if/when it breaks... it works!

I have 20lb beagle mix and 45lb border collie mix dogs. I bought these about 10 years ago, and it finally broke recently, after years of abuse (like, dropping it several times, stepping on it.. etc). I bought regular scissors style clipper that had best review on amazon, and I was disappointed on how flimsy and dull the blade was. It made my dogs uncomfortable and in pain from pinching their nails instead of cutting it! It hardly cut it. it'd often break/crush their nails. After stressful tryout, I immediately went back and ordered this Resco Chrome trimmer again, in hopes the product is as good as my original clipper from 10 years ago. And it sure is. These cut my dogs' tough nails without any issue. I was worried they'd be scared of nail clipping after previous stress, but they were so calm as the clipper just cut through their nails so easily. Sharp, painless, reliable. Just like the one I used to have. Couldn't be happier with these clippers!!

These style clippers were recommended by our vet. I found these on here for half the price of all the local pet stores. We finally got to use this weekend and wow. We gave our pooch a bath which was also recommended to soften the nails and these clippers made it really easy to clip. Our dog isn't one to sit still very long and these were great. In no time at all we had all 4 paws clipped and he was back to running around the house. I didnt get the rubber drip style because I read reviews of the grips slipping a lot. With these you don't really need them. They were really sharp and didnt take much effort to get through the nail. My wife did the front paws and I did the back. She had no problem. Awesome product. Would recommend.

I used to work as a vet tech, and have clipped a lot of dog nails over the years. I chose these clippers based on the positive reviews because I have always felt the plier-type clippers caused some pain and cracking during the squeezing process. Well, these may work well on smaller dogs, but they definitely did NOT work well on my 50 lb lab mix. She's really not that large a dog, but trying to cut her nails with these was torture for both of us! She put up with the clipping, but flinched almost every time I tried to cut, and the job took at least twice as long as usual and looked horrible. The blade would start to cut like it should, but as I squeezed, the resistance of her nails caused a gap to appear between the two surfaces, resulting in a rough, incomplete cut. It was like cutting with a pair of scissors whose blades don't meet up. I could not get them to make a single straight, clean cut! And believe me, I tried cutting from every different angle and position I could think of. I was SURE there must be a way to use them successfully... When I was finally done (translation: gave up), she practically RAN away from me! :( I won't cut her nails again until I find a better option. Oh, and the rubber grips on the handles are useless; they're loose and just slide around while you cut. Maybe my dog just has exceptionally hard nails, but I doubt it. Sorry, Resco: these are NOT suitable for large dogs.

Seems pretty good. Only used once so far. Did not cut dogs giant nails as clean as they normally cut. Felt solid but left nails a bit rough and jagged. I do appreciate the metal construction of the item.
