I made a fingernail clipper guard using a paperclip and a couple grooves under the bottom blade. (lemmy.world)

And pliers and Dremel tool of course, but yeah this safety guard mod totally keeps you from cutting your nails too deep!

Edit: You'll probably need to zoom in on the lower clipper blade to see the guard addition.

I think he means cutting the nail too short. So the guard stops the nail from going in too far and cutting the nails so short it hurts the nail bed underneath.

Personally I like my nails to be on the short side, since I do things like machining and woodworking as a hobby. Nothing ruins a fun day of working in the shop as folding or splitting a nail in the first 5 minutes. But I can understand for people who like to have their nails a bit on the longer side if this isn't a concern.
