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.
