The claw clippers for pets from the COARO brand are claw clippers that can be used to trim the claws of pets.
The S version, which is also suitable for cats’ paws, was tested in the product test .
This product is characterised by its precise cutting performance. The product also includes a file that can be used to give pet claws a flawless finish. The file ensures smooth and rounded claws.
The claw scissors are made of high-quality stainless steel and the handle of the product is rubberised. The coating on the handle creates a pleasant feel that prevents hands from slipping on the claw clippers .
The product is rounded off by a high-quality spring which ensures that the claw clippers open automatically. The product can be locked with a robust lock mechanism, which also fulfils the function of a child safety lock .
All in all, this is a very high-quality product that impressed us in practical tests with its effectiveness and ease of use.
It would be desirable if a warning that the product is not suitable for children were added to the product box in future.

Instructions for use are not included with the product, but are not absolutely necessary .
Printed on the back of the product box are brief instructions on how to use the product correctly.
Although it is clear that this is a product for adults, it would be desirable to print an additional note on the product packaging stating that the product is not suitable for children.

This product makes a solid first impression. The claw scissors sit comfortably in the hand and are designed in such a way that they can be used by adult hands of all sizes.
The rubberised handle provides the necessary grip when cutting and minimises the risk of slipping.
Overall, the workmanship of the scissors and the file, which is also included in the product scope , is of a high quality.
The locking mechanism, which can also be seen as a kind of child safety lock , works reliably and looks robust.
A modern design in a turquoise colour rounds off this high-quality product perfectly.

The claw clipper for pets from the COARO brand has undergone a thorough practical test.
This product is designed so that the ends of the clipper are rounded . There is therefore no risk of cutting or pricking yourself .
This product is very sharp at the point where you place it on the claw to clip. With a precise and short movement , it is easy to shorten the claw.
The ribbed, rubberised handle ensures optimum grip when clipping claws and minimises the risk of slipping. The claw clipper sits comfortably in the hand and is ideal for use by adult hands of different sizes.
This product was tested on cat claws. It was successful in clipping off the small claws and the cat remained relatively calm and unimpressed during the entire procedure.
The safety function on the side of the handle is particularly positive: it acts like a child safety lock and ensures that the claw cutter is locked. The device makes a robust and solid impression and ensures secure locking after treatment.
The file , which is also included in the scope of delivery, is a good size and can be optimally applied to the claws . However, it is more suitable for use on dogs than cats, as a cat may be too restless and impatient to undergo this procedure after the claws have been clipped.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €15.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €9.95 . The claw scissors for pets from COARO are therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €14.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
