inadequate cutting edges [SEP] the best thing about this set is the case it is really quite beautiful almost like a little coach bag i also like the variety of tools all of which have a nice sturdy heft to them they are not lightweight tools but the edges on the cutting tools are not very sharp rather than a satisfying click that sends a finger or toe nail flying off in some unpredictable direction you get a smushy crushing effect in which you are not even sure if the toenail has even been separated and even when they are they end up with a ragged rather than smooth edge fortunately the kit comes with a small emory board because you will need iti ended up buying a cheap pair of drug store clippers which offer the nice clean sharp satisfying cut that are the hallmark of a really satisfying nail tool i only use the kit for the other manicure tools which work finenot recommended
