Jackson Galaxy Soft Grip Cat Nail Clippers

These swivel so you can get the perfect angle for clipping. I still have a problem with nails splitting/cracking, but I have that with all of them. It’s a little better if I clip the nail from the side rather than on top though. My cat is super old so maybe that’s why this happens. Anyway, these are easier to use than others, grippy ends make these easier to handle as well as the ability to swivel for different angles.

I like that style nail clipper for my foster kittens, but if I had a nickel for every time the clippers sproinged out of my hands because they were slippery or awkward to hold with a squirming kitten... (yes, a 1 lb kitten is as hard to trim as a 10 lb cat, they just don't bite as hard). The swivel head is an excellent idea - though it will take me a few cats to figure out what my preferred position is. The grippy handles are a huge plus. I'd recommend these for cat owners, and when they get dull, I'd probably buy another pair!

Cutting my kitties nails is always a challenge but this clipper made it easier. The rotating head is a great feature and helps A LOT when you’re dealing with their squirmy paws. : )

I would guess this is a rebranded nail trimmer made for humans. It works well for cats and the ability to position the cutting edge at different angles is genuinely great. But if it were actually designed for cats, you'd want a tighter curve on the cutting edge and probably also for it to be a little smaller. You have to be careful to not get the paw pad with the corner of the cutter, and also to get the right angle so that you don't just create a new sharp edge on the claw.Still probably the best cat nail cutter I've used.

I do like these clippers a lot, the swiveling head is very convenient. But they do tend to break the nail more than traditional clippers would, these are similar to using human nail clippers on a cat. I still use them and they don’t seem to bother my cats at all.

I have low vision and I was able to trim my baby's claws. Genius, the swivel cutting head solved the problem of how to hold the cat and still get at the needle pointed claws without contortions of my hand. The clippers are easy and comfortable to hold. I would even use these clippers on myself because the cutting head angle of attack can be changed and still have a great comfortable grip with leverage.

Thought I'd try these they're a novel design. They worked really well for one of our cats who had pododermatitis (pillow paw) in both front feet. Her pads were very enlarged and the nails would grow into them. It was always a bit challenging to trim her nails with my usual clippers with safety guard, having to carefully get under each curved nail without hurting the pad. But these clippers with their multi-directional swivel allowed me to get to each nail from whichever angle it needed, making the process easier and less painful for her. Thankfully the problem spontaneously resolved! As for trimming all other kitty claws - nope. Like some other reviewers noted, these can crush kitten nails, and not so great for adults either. They don't cut cleanly, even when the nail is cut side to side instead of front to back, leaving rough edges.I I like the design concept: easy to hold and use, light weight. But they need a different kind of clipper head - one made for shaped dimensional nails like kitties have, not for flat nails like people have. So I'm going back to my regular clippers with safety guard. Sorry Jackson - I really wanted to love these. Change the clipper head and I'll try them again. 3 stars for easier clipping on pillow paws. If I only had the one cat with pillow paws to trim, I might have given another star. But no go for the other kitties.

These clippers are so cool. I use them myself too. It makes clipping my kitty's nails so much easier even than regular clippers since you can change the angle of the clip without changing the grip. I love em.

Best clipper ever.If your like me, you struggle with clipping your kitties murder needles. Usually it's a two man job with regular nail clippers. This clipper is awesome. No seriously! Your wouldn't think that the pivoting head feature would make a difference. But it really does! It now takes me half the time to trim the daggers that my cats like to grow.It's still not a good time to have to clip them. But this is so much easier to use!I highly recommend for anyone who struggles with the process like I do.

Excelent product. My little buddy is a pretty big boy and his nails are killers, this makes our lives easier and less painful hahaha. Thank you Jackson Galaxy!

Haven’t used it yet as do not have a furry friend yet.

My recently adopted junior cat really dislikes having her nails cut, and while we are trying to work on it from a behaviourist angle, the best way to actually get her nails trimmed is to get 3 or 4 at a time when she is deeply asleep and then give her a jackpot reinforcer and leave her alone. Because I can't choose the angle of the cat's paw if she is lying on the couch, the fact that these clippers can be adjusted to point in different directions has been helpful. I like this style more than the scissor-type clippers we had before, and I think the cat does too.

These are great! I have used others and they chip or split her nails. These are perfect & sharp!!
