Clippers

I'm calling upon the knowledge and wisdom of thee, Overclockers!

Er, anyway. I was wondering if someone could help me with a link or location where I could buy a specific type of clippers - they're like the ordinary toenail clippers (the large ones) but they have a sort of plastic casing that acts like a better lever/grip?

My uncle has one, and so does my friend, but they're always gifts and they're a nightmare trying to find out where they got them.

I've been to all of them, but they only seem to stock the ones without the plastic casing :/

Surely it doesn't make that much difference?

You wouldn't think so, but it does for me. I just can't seem to grip the normal ones properly or something - plus I have really strong toenails and the ones with the plastic cover gives, or seems to give, the extra grip/reach/leverage I need.

The plastic bit acts as a casing preventing most of the nail clippings from going on the floor.

I use a pair which are rather like wirecutters, they're the only things which cut my toenails properly.

Nothing quite like letting somebody know how you feel about them like getting them a nail clipper.

Scholl clippers. You get them from the chiropodist/shoe shop in town.
