No, They’re Not Secateurs! A Guide to the Cantilever Nipper Range

The reason for the design of the cantilever nipper is to make the nail cut easier. It is based on the physics of a lever and its fulcrum. Back in school, do you remember the wheelbarrow analogy? The longer the handle, the easier it is to lift the load between the handle and the wheel (fulcrum). The same principle is engaged with cantilever design. 

For some, the cantilever seems unwieldy and too big. For those who use the cantilever, the pattern is much-loved and not up for discussion. Most suppliers offer cantilever patterns. 

Bailey Instruments offer the only straight cut cantilever in the UK market. One special pattern is specifically designed to reduce the likelihood of repetitive strain injury in the wrist and arm. 

The prototype for the CH23G was made for an individual podiatrist who was suffering hand and wrist pain. Such was the success of this prototype the pattern became part of the Bailey Instruments range of seven cantilevers. So, whether you’re a committed cantilever luvvy or, one who turns to the cantilever just for those thickened nails, there is a cantilever for you. 

So, in conclusion, they are not secateurs but, a carefully designed range of nail nippers manufactured with economy of energy, and comfort in use on offer.
