Ha! I actually was thinking of reviewing one I consider to be Cool Tool worthy, so here you go:
Note first, I use toenail clippers only -- haven't owned fingernail clippers in years; they are just harder to hold and to my opinion cut no better. It also means one less thing to possess.
Revlon makes a clipper (or did; mine is now I think 6 or 7 years old, and going strong) that comes with a black plastic casing; that case is removable, but only if you want to remove it -- it stays on in use. The case feels like the kind of material that some modern handguns are made from. In other words, highly and happily overqualified.
I thought that case would make it awkward, so I can't explain why I bought it. (Probably it was all I could find when I needed a new clipper, and figured I'd just discard the case.) However, instead, it makes a very nice, holdable grip in my own butterfingered hands. The case does as good a job as can be expected at containing the clippings, too. Not *perfect,* in other words, but darn good -- a few strays must be attended to, but mostly they're captured neatly, so you don't have to worry about hunting for snippets of mail in the carpet.
The bad news is, trawling through Amazon I can't find this version (with case), though the clippers inside are as far as I can tell totally run-of-the-mill Revlon toenail clippers. If I ever see these for sale again, I may stock up.
