NGHIA jaw sizes: 12, 14 or 16?
The number after the model is the jaw size, which is the length of the cutting blade. According to Nghia Nippers USA, jaw 12 is a quarter jaw (4.5 to 5.5 mm) for light cuticle trimming, jaw 14 is a half jaw (5.5 to 6.5 mm) for everyday manicure work, and jaw 16 is a full jaw (6.5 to 7.5 mm) meant for professional manicure and pedicure work. A D01-14 is therefore a D-01 nipper with a half jaw. Read the full NGHIA nipper guide: jaw sizes and D-01, D-03, D-06, D-07 compared.
