Introduction

Have you ever brought nail clippers on a trip, only to find that they had fallen apart in your bag. Before buying a new pair, try fixing them with this simple guide. As long as you have all three necessary parts, if you follow these easy steps your nail clippers will be as good as new.

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Compress the body of the clippers to reveal the notch.

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

Step 3

Rotate the rod until the notch opening faces away from the body.
This allows for easier completion of the following step.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Swivel the lever into its normal position, and test the nail clippers' functionality.

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.

That's why it says reassembly 🤨

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.

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.
