Buy Toenail Scissors – for Thick Toenails

Toenail scissors are built sturdier than ordinary nail scissors: short, robust blades, more leverage and often longer handles. This lets them cut even thick, hard toenails cleanly without splitting the nail. Here you will find toenail scissors for every need – compact, with an extra-long handle for seniors, or angled for hard-to-reach toes.

Which toenail scissors are right for you?

• For toenails of normal thickness: compact toenail scissors with a short, strong blade.
• For seniors and when bending down is difficult: toenail scissors with an extra-long handle or with long lever handles – more reach and less effort.
• For hard-to-reach toes: angled toenail scissors, whose angled shanks bring the blade closer to the nail.
• For hard nails that tend to slip: models with micro-serration such as the Dreiturm Toenail Scissors Micro hold the nail firmly while cutting.
• In plier form: the Niegeloh toenail scissors in plier form combine a scissor cut with a plier grip.

What to look for when buying

• Short, strong blade: gets through thick and hardened nails without jamming.
• Leverage: long handles and good transmission reduce the effort needed – important when hand strength is declining.
• Straight or only slightly curved blade: toenails are cut straight across so the corners do not grow in. Strongly curved blades belong on fingernail scissors.
• Material: stainless steel is hygienic, can be disinfected and can be resharpened. Nickel-plated scissors are not stainless; we state this in the product description.

With very thick, heavily hardened or ingrown nails, even the best scissors reach their limits. In that case, nail nippers (head cutters) are the better choice. For ingrown nail corners, there are corner nippers.

We carry Solingen-made products from Dreiturm, Erbe, Niegeloh and DOVO, alongside more affordable ranges from other manufacturers. The country of origin is stated in the description of each product. High-quality scissors can be resharpened through our sharpening service.
