Sharp and cut well, but has 2 annoying flaws: - spring is too strong - required too much force to use - does not come with a cover for the blades, so not possible to travel with unless you want a hole in anything it touches.

I really liked how this cuticle nipper worked, but just like the Revlon cuticle nippers, the spring broke after 5 months of normal use. Before trying the Quo brand, I purchased a Revlon one, it broke, they sent me a new one, it also broke, then I bought the Quo - which broke! I guess the solution may be to buy a professional quality one from a professional beauty supply store? Do nail salons buy new ones every few months, or do the professional ones last longer?
