Introduction

    • Insert the rod through the bottom hole of the clipper body, and continue through the top hole.

    • The side of the rod with the notch should be inserted first.

    • Note: The top of the clipper body will often have a pick/file attached to it. If no pick/file is present, either side can serve as the top or the bottom.

    • Compress the body of the clippers to reveal the notch.

    It is really hard for me to do this with one hand. help?

    • Rotate the rod until the notch opening faces away from the body.

    • This allows for easier completion of the following step.

    • Place the hole of the lever into the revealed rod notch.

    • Release the compressed nail clipper body to lock the lever into place.

    • Note: Position of the lever does not matter at this point.

Thank you so much ! My fingers are arthritic and I was frustrated until I found your instructions.

marvin -

Thank you. Knew it was simple! Love this website.

This is the dumbest “repair guide” I have ever seen. It is not a repair, because they are not broken, it’s a re-assembly.

Albert E -

That's why it says reassembly 🤨

Blake Jordan-Borns -

Thank you so much!!!! I could only find one pair in my house and was feeling desperate. This is the best guide to repair and I’m glad you posted under broken nail clippers because that’s what I considered mine to be and how I looked it up.

Tanya Bishop -

I used you steps, but whenever I try to rotate the handle so that I can clip my nails the handle just pops off again.

Arianna Gessaman -
