With this set, I was able to cut my cuticles effortlessly, and the lifter made removing those hard-to-reach ingrown toenail parts completely painless. I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but I had to share how pleased I am with this purchase. I would definitely buy this set again and highly recommend it to anyone needing a reliable and high-quality pedicure tool kit. Thank you for such a great product!"

"I’m really impressed with this set! I wish I had discovered it years ago; maybe I wouldn't have injured my toenail! After my injury, I became nervous about clipping my nails, but this kit has saved me. Sharp tools cut through like butter! They are well made and make it so easy to clip, file, and maintain my nails. Plus, the price is fantastic!"

"This kit is by far the best for its price point. I’ve tried other kits, but none had the sharpness and strength to tackle my thick nails. The ingrown toenail remover in this set made my ingrown nail feel like it was made of paper. I must say, be careful with pressure while using it, as the sharpness can lead to accidents. Overall, I highly recommend this kit!"

"I bought this set because of the adjustable angle clipper, and it exceeded my expectations. I’m recovering from major surgeries, and nail care is challenging for me.

"I had a severely infected toenail that was ingrown. I made an appointment with the foot doctor, assuming he would have to cut off a large portion of my toenail. But with this tool and some Epsom salt soaks, I canceled my appointment! The clippers are sharp and cut well. I love the size of the nippers; they work for my tiny toenails and my husband's. We make sure to wash and disinfect the tools after each use, and we've had no rust or issues. The little file tool was tricky at first but is helpful for rough bits. The hook tool is my favorite—it was the greatest tool! It really helped fix my toenail, and I can use it regularly to prevent more ingrown toenails. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase!"

"Needed some tools for pedicure and an ingrown toenail. The lifters do a nice job of cleaning excess debris around and under my nails. The files work quickly to smooth the nail edges. The clippers with offset blades make cutting nails easier. I had purchased and returned other kits because I found that these three tools are all I really need. Well-made and sturdy tools!"

"I had an ingrown toenail that had been bothering me for weeks. I was terrified of going to the doctor. So, I decided to try these tools. At first, it was a bit uncomfortable, but I used the clippers to make more room and expose the ingrown part. I was able to lift it out in three tiny pieces—it was so satisfying! Normal nail clippers would have never worked. I soaked my foot for 15 minutes, which helped a lot. After about ten minutes, the clippers got me where I needed to be, and a quick file at the end was just perfect. I felt a release of pressure soon after. The next day, I still had some soreness, but it quickly went away, so I think I got it all!"

"A few years ago, I had to get an in-grown toenail numbed and cut out by my podiatrist. Three years later, I developed another one on the opposite side of that toe. I used this product, wrapped it for two days, and successfully removed it with the tools provided. Thank you!"

"Oh my gosh, what a relief! This product truly works—it alleviates the pain and helps loosen the ingrown toenail from the skin. I wish I’d tried it sooner! I highly recommend it for anyone with an ingrown toenail! Just a quick note: Follow the directions! I used it too much and too long, and my big toenail ended up coming off."

"My daughter has been struggling with ingrown toenails on both of her big toes. After recently having surgery on one foot, she started experiencing pain in the other toe.

"Working in a hospital, I used to make fun of people coming in for ingrown toenails—until I experienced it myself. The pain was unbelievable and affected my walking.
