Review: Great product - I dislike clipping my dog's nails, but these make the job so quick and easy. These clippers are sharp, helping them cut quickly without squeezing the nails. The safety guard is helpful, but I still triple-check before cutting. My dog doesn't like being groomed, but she tolerates the process. The clippers didn't create any additional discomfort or make any noises that drew her attention to what I was actually doing. I recommend these clippers and would purchase them again. Review: Sharp nail clippers - These are great, sharp clippers and they fit nicely in my hands. They're furthest open position is sometimes a bit big in my hand though. The handle coverings recently started slipping like many people complain about, which I honestly don't quite understand why the company doesn't try to fix that issue. I think putting a little super glue in there then sliding them back on will keep them in place though I haven't yet tried it. The opening for the clippers doesn't fully open like most clippers so you do have to stick your dog's nail into the whole. Depending on your dog that may be a pain in the butt, it is for me some of the time. So I switch back and forth between these sharp clippers and the sharp clippers by diamond g with the bamboo handles as they fully open and I'm able to get into some smaller angles with them. These are a good price point so I'll be able to replace them when they start to dull to avoid any issues. If the locking mechanism flops around some, keep the lock side pointed down towards the floor so it doesn't cause issues and get in the way. Or you can simply use a piece of scotch tape and tape it into the unlock position for that trim session. Make sure you take the tape off and lock them back when you're done to avoid an accident or additional wear on the sharp blades. ## Features - Age Range Description: All Life Stages ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0111SLMUQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,601 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #17 in Dog Claw Care | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Millers Forge | | Brand Name | Millers Forge | | Color | Red / Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 8,918 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00076681007430, 00305487790971, 00626211278641, 00674788542399, 00700549022302, 00700580010108, 00700580024488, 00700580065382, 00709081896815, 00715255390799, 00786714243260, 00802627771000, 00885156357099, 06919289881757, 07922470323768 | | Included Components | One Pet Nail Clipper | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 2.8 x 0.5 inches | | Item Nype Name | Nail Clipper | | Item Weight | 2.24 ounces | | Manufacturer | Millers Forge | | Manufacturer Part Number | 516279 | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Nail Trimmer Pet - Red Handle - Scissors | | Model Number | MF743 | | Style Name | Plier | | Target Audience | Dog | | UPC | 715255390799 674788542399 700580065382 015568958021 786714243260 884946425130 700580024488 885156357099 719279583335 683440109191 719412073105 709081896815 802627771000 700580010108 305487790971 076681007430 700549022302 626211278641 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Unspecified | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Straight - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Millers Forge - **Color:** Red / Silver - **Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Stainless Steel Dog Nail Clipper, Plier Style 743C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51eIAE7Ln9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by A***A on August 25, 2026* I dislike clipping my dog's nails, but these make the job so quick and easy.

Almost every nail clipper that I've gotten have pinched his nail slightly crushing before cutting through cleanly. Even ones marketed as high grade professional nail clippers have done this. I think the crushing is due to the fact that he has very soft nails With these cllippers, I think I can actually get my dog to be comfortable or at least less fussy about getting his nails clipped! I found tons of recommendations for the Millers forge brand of clippers, and even the vet and groomer recommended them. First, let me say that these required almost no effort to clip my dogs nails. I was able to get my dogs nails clipped in 15 minutes, which is the fastest I've ever been able to do this. He didn't once cry out in pain as if I were killing him, nor did he retract his paw as hard as he could from my grasp. I didn't have to do a sharp and quick cut to get these to close, as I have done with many other brands. Instead these just glided right through the nail, and were incredibly precise so that I was able to clip in small sections. It was almost like shaving off his nail just a little bit. Because the clippers clipped of his nail so cleanly I was able to see that the discarded nail anatomy - hard shell and a fleshy inside. The fleshy inside of his nail just crumbles when it falls out of the hard shell, and so I think this is why previous nail clippers were crushing his nail. Speaking from a physics perspective, I can see these clippers lasting quite a long time and remaining sharp. The design on the blade of the clipper is angled sharply into a thin blade (and it is a very sharp blade). The blades make no noise as they are closed and opened, though I can feel the blades brush against one another. The spring that opens the clippers also makes no noise, and I believe this is because they use a volute spring which I'm also not afraid of getting pinched by. The only issue with the clippers is that the red comfort grip covers slide off while I clip. This isn't a big deal though as they don't slide off much and it didn't make a difference in how the clippers performed. For people who are wondering if these are real Millers Forge Inc clippers, they are. Only the larger Miller's Forge nail clippers are made in Italy (specifically the 727C and 767C styled for larger dogs). I would only recommend these for medium to small dogs. All other Miller's forge nail clippers are made in other places -such as Japan and Taiwan. These 743C clipers are made in Taiwan, and do come with the Miller's Forge lifetime guarantee against manufacturing or worksmanship defects unless abused or left to rust (as stated on the back of the packaging). ## Frequently Bought Together - Millers Forge Steel Pet Nail Clipper 743C with Safety Stop Bar Small Medium Dog - Miracle Care Kwik Stop Styptic Powder For Dogs, Cats, and Birds, Fast-Acting Blood Stop Powder For Pets, Quick Stop Bleeding Powder For Dog Nail Clipping and Minor Cuts, 0.5 oz. - Millers Forge Dog Nail Clip, Large.
