Reply to comment by nahtorreyous in Klhip nail clipper - over a decade old, repaired twice by Klhip by Puppywanton

Prior to getting these I was having to change my clippers every two years or so - they got dull easily and hangnail was an issue after a while, since I keep my nails as short as possible due to longer nail beds.

Whether the price is justified or not is really up to the individual that purchases it. For me I like things that are beautiful and functional, and I feel that this is BIFL since I’ve had it a decade and was very surprised that they honoured their warranty.

I’ve had a dyson vacuum that was less than a year old with the felt coming loose under the roller head - not covered under their warranty.

I think it’s quite remarkable when companies stand by their products, which is why I made a post.

I didn’t claim it was cheap. I’m just saying after owning maybe 15 pairs of nail clippers over my life I’ve never had to buy another one.

Fwiw, I think they also had a price increase. When I purchased it, it cost around $50 iirc.

For me, items like this get priced against what they are replacing. I'm not saying this is 100% accurate, but if a $80 set of clippers eliminates a lifetime of $20 manicures or pedicures then it's a great deal. Or maybe it doubles the time between those visits.

If hangnails etc were a big problem for you, and they aren't anymore, then I don't get why people are all weird about you getting a nice set of clippers.

No clue, I suppose it’s not a lodge cast iron pan or something handed down from their grandparents.

I just felt it was worth posting because of their guarantee (and repairs).

I don’t go for manicures or pedicures, so this clipper eliminates the need for a nail file for me as well.

Idk how a post praising the company for standing by their guarantee became one about how everyone else only paid 5 bucks for theirs and apparently I’m showing off.

I’m leaving the post up because these are damn good clippers, despite the downvotes.

For $80 I would hope that they’d fix it or give you a new one.
