Terrific tool
Get rid of the electric. When my Panasonic trimmer bought the proverbial farm, it was time to get something else. Problem is, I'm sick of using batteries. The waste or the recharge ... it's a hassle either way.

So I picked this up and I'm thrilled. You squeeze the ends. The center cylinder rotates. It cuts hairs. It's simple, easy to clean, and as effective as anything I've used. It hasn't even pulled any hairs (which my previous electric DID.)

Ok, it's not a car engine. It isn't self-lubricating. You have to oil it now and then. I mean, it's raw metal on raw metal otherwise. What man would expect to not have to oil this from time to time?

What were the other criticisms? Craftsmanship? It's fine. Maybe the other guy got a dud?

The only caveat is make sure you have clean, dry hands when you use it. It's not designed for superior grip. If your hands are wet or slick with lotion or something, these are a bit tricky to use. Otherwise, they're just great.

Poor Craftsmanship
I steered towards the tweezerman line of products because their product photos portray a high level of craftsmanship.

The reality, I'm afraid, doesn't live up to expectations.

The nose hair trimmer, for example, isn't weighted properly, so it just floats in your hands... and the mechanism which rotates the inner blade isn't lubricated very well -- so it moves in a hurky-jerky fashion. Which is more than a little disconcerting.

I also find that you have to position it "just so" to clip anything at all.

I should have just purchased a pair of bull-nose scissors.

Works pretty well
Works pretty well - the only electric I've ever used was a cheapo Remington model, and the problem with that (as I imagine is the problem with all electrics) is that it's hard to clean.

With this, just run it under hot water and dry it off after using and it's fine. Also it's very small so fits easily into a dop kit.

Dont bother
Works, but just does not work nearly as well as a decent electric. If you have some crazy phobia about electric nose hair clippers I suppose these would do...everyone else should look elsewhere...
