Can I get some recommendations for toenail clippers, that open up really wide?

My husband is having trouble clipping his toe nails and says that the clippers I bought do not open up wide enough for him to use. What I did but is larger than normal..but obviously not wide enough.

thanks

Maybe he needs Tweezerman. These are sold by QVC (A591930).

Someone here recommended these wide-jaw toenails clippers and I can't say enough about them. Good ones for sure!

$10 on Amazon.

I would opt for the ones that look like pliers; they are easier to use for precise clipping.

I can't use those kind of plier-type clippers. My hands are so messed up. I can barely use the ones I posted but at least I can handle them.

@SilleeMee   Just what I needed. Found them, Ordered.

Low cost for an irritating task.

If your husband is over 65 and medicare, check to see if he is covered to go to a podiatrist to get nails clipped. Typically it is a covered visit and if his nails are that thick, they can SAFELY cut nails and work on calluses,  etc.

Those plier type cutters are very dangerous for people who do not have a good dexterity and flexibility. We have a friend who goes...every 7 or so weeks to have nails clipped. Said it was a life and marriage saver. Lol.

The VA covers diabetic veterans for podiatry services, including socks and shoes.

If you can get him in to a professional (preferably a foot doctor) it will change the lives of both of you.
