Failure in normal use
"This item failed after a few months of infrequent use. The thinness of the pin just screams "I'm ready to fail!" Find something with a thicker pin that can withstand the pressure from the lever."
Overall rating: 4.61167 / 5 from 497 reviews.
This 6-in-1 nail tool is praised for its multifunctionality and ease of use. Customers appreciate its perfect size for portability and its durability. While some find the cuticle cutter painful and the file difficult to use, the nail clippers are highly rated for their sharpness and effectiveness.

"This is not heavy duty. It failed on my first attempt to use it, metal failed on the lever where it should catch the hook of the pin. I wouldn’t of thought I needed a receipt from CVS yesterday when I bought this. But now I’ve got a $15 piece of trash in my pocket. Really hoping CVS will let me return it for a product that doesn’t suck."
"Couldn't cut thumbnails at all but smaller nails, no problem. Then after a very short time, the bar broke that connects the handle to the pin. Broke and flew off very violently. The other tools on it were great to have but now they're usless. Do not purchase these."
"Bought these at London Drugs a week ago. If I was still in Canada I'd take them back. They don't cleanly cut at all. Totally useless. Only reason I still have them is I'm going to return them when I get back. Do Not Recommend."
"I'm a guy with very troublesome nails. They are extremely tough, I have large fingers (so I need to use toenail clippers for my hands typically), and my cuticles and hyponychium grow a lot. These clippers were amazing, I used them for two weeks and I have never had a set of clippers this precise, this easy on my hands, this painless. No hand cramps from extended use. No difficulty trimming through thick thumbnails. Once I got the hang of how the lever worked it was a breeze. The hyponychium trimmer was something I'd never seen before, and I was thrilled to discover it. I cannot count how many times I've had to endure sharp pain while trimming my nails. Unfortunately, I cannot give 5 stars because of the marketing. This is not an ideal trimmer for ""travel"". For something to be branded as travel-worthy it is typically meant that the item should be safe and approved for taking on an airplane in carry-on luggage. After using this twice it was unfortunately confiscated at the airport. If the sharp point on the file were removed (which frankly seems superfluous considering the plastic tool and the scissors) that would be a good start, as that seemed to be what the TSA agent took issue with. Just modify this and get it approved by TSA/CBSA etc please. . . Everything else about this is great."
"I purchased this nail tool expecting to use it regularly. It broke the second time I tried to use it."
"Pin broke off while trimming fingernails ,not used very much"
"I’ve never enjoyed doing my nails as much as I have after receiving this product! It makes it so so easy. With everything all in one right at my fingertips, my actual fingertips have never looked so good! So sturdy and perfect for the manicure lovers!"
"Awful. Bought these to take on a trip only because it the only option available. As others have said, the quality of the tools are poor. The nail clippers are uncomfortable to use and don’t cut well. The other tools are also hard to use and don’t work well. I wouldn’t recommend this product."
"I have arthritis in my hands and was hoping this tool would be awesome but I can't even get it to clip any of my nails and I am so flustered because it didn't work, I can't find a clipper that will though I spent good money on them and I can't return it. Ty for your time."
