It's time to get a good pair.

Keeping your hands clean, clear, and hangnail-free is a necessary part of a good grooming routine. First of all, anything less than is just plain unhygienic. Second of all, gnarly hands are not exactly the pinnacle of put-together. Get a pair for your nails, your toes, and everything in between. Here's where to start.

Sally Hansen has the best drug store pick. It's small, simple, and gets the job done. 

Ulta's toe nail clippers have just the right amount of curve to it, so it won't make your toes prone to ingrown nails. 

Because really, you should have a set for both your fingers and toes. 

Keep this Revlon pick in your travel bag; you never know when you might get a hangnail. 

If you have thick, hard-to-cut toe nails, don't try to cut it with anything wimpy. These tough angled clippers from Mehaz can cut through the thickest. 

Keep this set in your bathroom for every sort of nail situation. 

Tweezerman does what it does well—and that goes beyond just tweezers. These precision-grip clippers ensure you're cutting through the whole nail in one swoop. 

Angled nail clippers give you more control over the cut, so you're not stuck with any raggedy edges. 

These clippers are an internet favorite, and rightfully so. The sharpness of the clip is unparalleled. 

If you prefer a slightly rounded edge (rather than angled or straight across), Harperton's set is right on point. 

Having options means your hands (and feet) will feel their best at any given time. 

Seki's clippers are sharp, sturdy, and will last you a lifetime. 

If you want to make sure you have everything you need for great nail grooming, consider a whole manicure set. In addition to clippers, the scissors, files, and cuticle nippers will keep your fingers as clean as possible. 

And for a full-set luxury option, you'd be hard-pressed to find better than Czech & Speake.
