How to recognise good manicure instruments?

Quality and material

All manicure instruments are specially formed and processed
for their intended use. Only then can they fulfil their specific purpose.

Quality features are:

• Highest quality steel
  
• Clean finish
  
• Good fitting and light closing action
  
• Suitably placed spring and a good fit
  
• Clean surface and edge processing

1. The raw material
Good manicure instruments such as cleaners, nail scrapers, nail and corn knives are manufactured from the highest quality steel. ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS makes exclusive use of stainless,
high-grade steel for the working parts of its instruments.

2. The finish
The upper part of the instruments has a smoothly ground, polished or brushed surface. The blades are sharply ground. All plastic handles are smooth with no surface seams thus guaranteeing finger-friendly work.

3. - of nail and corn scissors
The points of the scissors must fit together well when closed.
Cutting ability right up to the point is absolutely essential. The blades must have an even, light and easy closing action.

4. - of nail and cuticle nippers
The cutting edges of nippers must exactly press against each
other. They first meet at the point and clip the nail or skin away when further pressed together. The spring which opens the nipper must be fixed properly and should not get in the way when used.

5. - of non-cutting instruments
The selection of top class material as well as clean surface and edge processing are hallmarks of carefully manufactured instruments. They are essential for proper functioning and are specially formed and processed for each respective intended use.
