These are really easy to use, cut very fast amd are angled. I like the angle that these nail clippers have, I find that it makes them easier to get a close nail trim without cuttingg into the cuticle and causing bleeding. I was able to trim my dogs nails very fastt, they were sharp and cut through without having to use much pressure at all. these feel comfortable in my hand. They have a little lock to hold them closed when not in use and it is easy to lock/unlock them. There is also a nail file that is metal so it won't wear down if you like to file the nails down shorter or smoothen then out. The thinning shears also work well. I tried them out on my dogs tail tip and they gave a nice natural look rather than the type of cut you would get with reguilar scissors. Handy little set of grooming tool, I plan to get much use from,. #RankBoosterreview https://www.amazon.com/Nail-Clippers-Claw-Trimmers-File-Suitable/dp/B071WLX3JV
