The Nghia Export Cuticle Nipper C-36 Beak 12 (5 mm) is a professional cuticle nipper designed for extremely precise and controlled cutting of cuticles. This model features a single-sided spring and an extended, specially profiled handle , which provides even more stability and extra control for detailed work around the nail plate.
The 12-bit (5 mm) blade is ideal for cutting small areas or for precise trimming without the risk of removing too much. This size is a favorite among many professionals, especially for fine cuticles, narrow nail beds, or precision work during manicures and pedicures. The pliers are made of surgical stainless steel , making them a durable tool suitable for intensive use and strict hygiene protocols.
Thanks to the lap joint (not countersunk), the construction remains stable and durable, even with frequent opening and closing. The single-sided spring , mounted on a stainless steel screw, provides even tension and a comfortable cutting action. This helps you achieve a tight, clean result with minimal force – without hesitation and without unnecessary strain on your hand.
