I've had some absolutely fucking awful clippers that leave my nails shitty. Always had a bad habit of biting them, so I try to keep them not-shitty so I don't do that. I have the Klhip and it's actually fucking awesome. I wouldn't have paid MSRP for it though.

2019-10-11 13:30:31 UTC  

use something like this

2019-10-11 13:30:43 UTC  

Don't remember what I paid, but found it cheap on Ebay or Amazon I think.

2019-10-11 13:31:56 UTC  

Was hoping a good clone existed, wanted to get one for someone.

2019-10-11 13:32:35 UTC  

I use the scissors on my swiss army knife, clipper users are barbarians

2019-10-11 13:32:56 UTC  

lmao

They work well for nipping little stuff, depending on what you're doing. Doesn't seem unreasonable for the EDC types.

2019-10-11 13:34:32 UTC  

Nail file is part of the reason I EDC my Leatherman Micra instead of Skeletool.

2019-10-11 13:34:44 UTC  

perfect for superhero Captain Kudzu who has the superpower of inconveniently fast growing fingernails

2019-10-11 13:35:19 UTC  

i sued to have something like this

2019-10-11 13:35:24 UTC  

with separated file too

2019-10-11 13:35:31 UTC  

and small scrissors

2019-10-11 13:35:47 UTC  

sadly someone niggered it/ it has dropped somewhere in my travels

2019-10-11 13:35:48 UTC  

my name is yoshikage kira and I need a nail cutter on me at all tkmes

2019-10-11 13:35:55 UTC  

and never found identical to add on my travel gear

2019-10-11 13:36:03 UTC  

My dad has a nice little set like that. Can still find them, but they're usually gimmicky shit ones though.

2019-10-11 13:36:09 UTC  

Heck i could make one myself most likely

2019-10-11 13:36:50 UTC  

construction is simple enough problem would be sourcing those scrissor hardware if not outright stealing them from multitools

2019-10-11 13:37:01 UTC  

@Windatica Hot damn man, thanks. Guess I gotta figure out Taobao!

2019-10-11 13:37:13 UTC  

i mean, it has 0 reviews and 0 purchases

2019-10-11 13:37:21 UTC  

you're basically gambling that $25-$35 away

2019-10-11 13:38:33 UTC  

If you buy that, you're a fuckin' dipshit.

2019-10-11 13:39:22 UTC  

Never used Taobao, how does the pricing work? I know you gotta get an agent, but I don't know what that involves or how it's priced.

2019-10-11 13:39:44 UTC  

at least it looks like a "chinese original" product and not a completely blatant rip off in the sense that it doesnt comes from klhip themselves

2019-10-11 13:40:00 UTC  

thank you "Liro" brand nail clippers

2019-10-11 13:40:23 UTC  

you can choose not to use taobao agents but you might have issues where your card gets declined

2019-10-11 13:40:37 UTC  

Yeah, and the original is just 440C stainless, so it ain't anything too fancy

2019-10-11 13:40:52 UTC  

Ah, why $25-$35 then?

2019-10-11 13:41:25 UTC  

so when i bought clothes off taobao the final cost (price+shipping) ended up basically doubling the price of the entire order

2019-10-11 13:41:51 UTC  

if you buy small things you can choose to have them sent by a small packet but it depends on the agent you use and if they're willing to ship via cheap methods

2019-10-11 13:42:14 UTC  

also you have to pay $1-$4 for domestic shipping within china

2019-10-11 13:42:23 UTC  

Jesus, I thought price was one of the big reasons to use Taobao.

2019-10-11 13:42:53 UTC  

it still is, but it depends on the things you buy

2019-10-11 13:43:33 UTC  

also that shipping is for an entire haul of items and not just 1 item

2019-10-11 13:43:54 UTC  

like i have the fake goyard card holder that i got for $4 + $4 shipping and even though i paid "double" for the item, its still not $300
