From what Mike demonstrated, the light comes on when the machine does and there's no separate button for it. But if you look in the commercial the light is off. This leads me to believe that no one is actually using it and it's just turned off.
Or the bulb burned out. That's what happened on mine.
To be fair it said safe to the tonch not touch
If only Mike had tonched it instead. He did it wrong.
Yeah, I don't think anybody should be sticking their tonch in there.
A tonch is penile flatulence, duh.
Sounds like a Dalek screaming in pain
Mike, you’re not supposed to trim your nails before reviewing the nail clipper!
haha
But you must understand, Dity, Mike is, at times, both an idiot and a klutz. As much as I like his videos, he is just mind-bogglingly stupid sometimes. He rarely seems to *think* about what the device is meant to do before using it and his apparent lack of physical dexterity is often a hindrance when he does test them.
Yes, the device looks like shoddily-made crap, but you're absolutely right, Dity: It's not meant to be used on nails that have already been groomed to a reasonable length. In fact, it seems to be designed specifically to *prevent* you from trimming your nails *too* short, which is what he's trying to do here.
Note to Mike: Pull your head out of your ass for a moment and test the thing properly. Let your nails grow out for a week, then take another stab at it. Yeah, it'll probably be just as crap, but you shouldn't have to go through such tedious manipulations to get it to trim anything at all. Then, if it does turn out to do a crap job, you can say so in full confidence that you have given it a fair and proper test.
Now, of course, I must admit that it's possible he's only playing the fool, in which case, I have been well and properly trolled. ;)
+Greg Wolking do you people let your nails grow to 1cm before you trim them or something??
Mike's nails are not trim length, if there's white showing then more can be taken off.
Mike's nail length is merely passable, definitely not ideal trim
Derek Kato:
It depends on the individual., of course. I bite my nails, so I don't need to trim them. No, I'm not proud of that and they're much shorter than they should be, but it's a habit I've had for as long as I can remember and I'm too old to break it now. Conversely, I only trim my toenails when they start to catch on my socks as I'm pulling them on. And no, I don't have any trouble using a traditional nail clipper. ;)
Some people are obsessive about filing/shaping their nails every day so they never need major trimming (i.e., with a nail cutter). Others let a manicurist handle it. Some only bother to trim when the length gets uncomfortable and/or annoying. And, finally, some never trim them at all. I remember way back in high school (1976) there was this one girl whose left hand was completely useless because she had let her nails grow until they had curled into complete hoops about 3 or 4 inches in diameter. She walked around all day with her left hand tucked under her right arm to protect them. WTF is up with that???
Also, over the 5 years while I was co-manager of an order center (they called us, we didn't call them!) for a company I shall not name, I interviewed more than a few female applicants whose nails were too long for them to type (like 2- or 3-inch "claws" ... yuck!) and they absolutely refused to trim them. Sorry, ma'am, but no job for you unless you can meet company grooming standards. (Yes, men were held to the same standard as women in that area but it was never a problem for any male applicant.)
Yeah his nails were too short to trim lol
YOU GOT THE TONCH
YOU GOT THE POWEEEEEER
I think you mean pomer.
You mean PAWAH
*YEAH!*
Transmorphers fans out there! Woot!
Roto clipper must be stopped. No mater the cost! *transform*
Let's get this out of the way. Can it be used on cheese?
Ergonomic means it fits well in the hand, better than a brick-shaped grip
honestly it surprised me that he didn't know this. he's a writer :/
I was wondering if it was a bokmål word and went looking for someone who knew that word to find out if it also was a english word.
As i knew it and i know both those languages
"writer"
It's everybody's favourite day of the week, the day where we ask ourselves "DOES THIS THING REALLY WORK!?"
Wrong channel :P
As someone who has actually used this thing, I can answer that question: Yes, but only for about a month. Then the blades become so dull, that they do little to nothing except overheat the motor.
I once saw scissors that claimed it could cut through those hard packagings, but those scissors were in that hard packaging
Two typos in the first blurb? I think they meant "Alloy" and "touch". This should be good...
For those that said Mike should grow his nail longer before doing this review, remember that the commercial suggest that this product can be used for any age and nail length.
but would you use a nail-clipper for already-trimmed nails? no. you CAN do it, but it's not much of a functional use to do so.
A week on delicious fingernail clippings please!
lapytop Howard Hughes, is that you? Ain't you supposed to be dead?
Is this another one of those infomercial products which are designed for people with disabilities that they market to a wider audience?
Also come on man ergonomic is definitely a word.
It's a perfectly cromulent word!
Yes. I think ergonomic grip in this case is code for 'can be held by someone with arthritis or a mild tremor without it falling out of their hands'.
Even someone with some serious issues can use a fucking nail clipper. This is on par with the bloody banana slicer: there just ain't no bloody point!
idk man, using a nail clipper is probably harder than you realise. You need coordination and the ability to apply a relatively high amount of force. Whilst it's obviously easy for us, I bet if you had something like severe arthritis you might benefit from a (preferably functional) version of this.
fluxe As Mike demonstrated, this thing doesn't work for anyone, disabled or not.
Just buy a Dremel instead. You can use it for woodworking after you do your nails.
That's what I use. Works 100 times better than those crummy manicure sets which is basically the same thing with a less powerful motor.
And as an added bonus you can also use it for dentistry at home too. No more paying for fillings! Lol.
I was tonched by an angel.
Can you great cheece with it?
Emma Goudie *grate
*cheese
I found my cheece to be somewhat disappointing
Jeffrey Fike - *great and *cheece because of *allay and *tonch. ;)
XT742 I think you mean "dishaponting" :D
Mr grammar police :P
I think you should've grown your nails longer for the review. Might have helped.
"Tungsten allay blade" don't they mean alloy? God, these people cannot spell.
Headbanger142 allay allay allay!
Clearly, they used tungsten to allay the blade
safe to the TONCH
Slaughter Round It's made in China, we say touch and allow here in the States as well haha
When I trim my tonch, I prefer the smooth Finish only a tungsten L.A. blade can give me.
Probably should have waited until your nails actually needed trimming before reviewing this. It would have demonstrated the products effectiveness or lack there of more clearly.
The nail trimmer might actually have better results, if you had... you know... nails to trim.
You might be right, but I think it might have been even more uncomfortable. The nail might have vibrated more.
I'm very happy to hear that the Tonch is safe I was worried for a moment there
Another knockoff? Tonch and Allay might be a sign
Jargas101 I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought "Allay? Tonch? You, uh, you sure the totally honest Chinese eBay seller you presumably bought this from didn't rip you off, Mike?"
You should have waited for your nails to grow to test this. Your nails look freshly cut and the nails used in the commercial are at least medium length (as someone who has the ability to grow really long nails naturally, I consider those nails medium). Watching you use that with your nails so short made me cringe in fear and pain. I once cut my nails too short and growing them back was painful! So trust me, you should grow out your nails a bit before testing this product. Having them already short brings the vibration of the machine closer to the nail bed, which you don't want.
But will it clip cheese!! TRY IT ON THE CAT!!!
Basil would probably shred him.
not with trimmed nails...
the lovely topping for pizza was brilliant. Subscribed!
Two mistakes in one sentence: tonch and that allay should be alloy (a mixture of metals)
Please buy this record-breaking device
So it's a nail vibrater. Does it turn on easily?
It looks like a cool sports car!
Sagiri That it does... That it does...
You know I dont see it
IsaacDoesRandom Neither do I.
Its a reference to one of the previous videos (ultimate chopper?).
I bought one of these because I often have problem trimming my nails nice and evenly, which leads to me trimming my nails too short.
When I first got it, it worked great. But then about a month later, the blades became so dull that either my nails would cause it to jam, or the motor would start getting really hot after barely trimming anything.
The minute you see misspelled words on the packaging, you know you're in for a rough night.
I was hoping this would work. The idea actually does sound like fun
There is a thing sort of like this right but that has a rounded tip and works better ?
Could the batteries be in wrong and it's running backwards?
How is that different from the foot callous sander he reviewed a while back? I bet they’re interchangeable.
Another Infomercialism in which Mike... nails it.
"Ow no"
keeps doing it
I like how the flashlight clearly doesnt illuminate the thing it's supposed to, even in the ad.
Looks more like an instrument of torture than something to trim and file your nails. Think I'd rather stick to my nail files.
In some motors, if you put the batteries in backwards, the motor turns the opposite direction. Wondering if you could force the roto clipper to spin the wrong way by flipping the batteries?
Does it smell like burning hair?
Tonch, my new favourite word! Love you Mike, you make me laugh like no other lol!!!
I think I see how the trim/file side works.
In trim-mode, the blade spins relative to your nail to have its teeth bite into your nail to trim it off.
In file-mode, it's just basically smoothing down the edge with the back end of the blade teeth.
can it perform circumcisions?
Dude, you have no nails, how did u expect it to work?
Mike, I think your nails need to be a little longer to see what that thing really does. You had me bustin' out laughing by the way! Why can't I listen to you all day? How about if I pay you to record yourself talking for 8 hours on tape and you can mail it to me? You have the same cassettes that we do here in the states, don't you? Because I have a tape recorder. I know you don't have the same vcrs. So, filming yourself is out of the question. But at least I can listen to your voice if you got an old time cassette. Love you Mike! Keep bringing on the laughs non-stop! 💗👍✌🍀
On one hand that's also what I thought at first but on the other th little he had still was too much for the Roto Clipper so odds are you're still much better off using a regular nail clipper. Also going by what ladderthief1 commented you arguably have to put in more work than necessary for it to work
If you can watch youtube, there's probably a better way to store/ playback audio than cassette tapes.
My grandma has one of these and I've used it before but it works , but you need to have nails and you do need to apply pressure to it.
You can't tonch this
As someone who loves doing my nails and painting them in cute/creative designs, that thing would NEVER go anywhere NEAR my nails, just regular files thank you very much lol
but can it grate cheese?
I get that kids might not like their nails being trimmed, but I really can't see them willingly sitting for the amount of time it would take for all their nails to be shredded with this thing.
But can you grate cheese with it? We must know, for SCIENCE!!!
I think it's safe to say that your nails are too short, Mike.
I love how Mike just keeps sticking his finger in further because it's not doing anything yet, haha.
"Tonch" sounds like a Tumblr-based flash meme.
Is tonch another word for willy?
i thought you were going in for a shave at first
Veggie Bullet...damn it Jeavons, get on to this!
YES ANOTHER EPISODE!
Can you Grate Cheese with it?
After watching this alone in the bedroom my boyfriend's now worried he hasn't been "performing" properly in the bedroom.
I'm diabetic so I have to visit my podiatraist every 2 months to ensure I can keep my toes. The thing is, my podiatrist uses a DREMEL-like tool to shave my toenails. I can tell you is spins more than 500 RPM - more like 5000 RPM. I should go to my hardware store and buy a Dremel so I can trim, grind, shave my own toenails. Will it work on my dog's nails?
A bit late.... But yes, you can. In fact so many people used a dremel to trim their pet's nails Dremel made a model specifically for pets.

"ergonomic keyboard design"
do a week on nail clippings!
I got that to work only once. I had to soak my nails in water for 30 seconds and then it only worked for 5 seconds. It's a paperweight now.
Ladderthief1 but is it a FUN paperweight??
It has a flashlight and goes "WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR". You're damn right it is.
About what I expected from a safe to the tonch 500 RPM allay blade.
Who'd ever go to the doctor's office to have their nails trimmed? Surely a manicure place would be the right place to go for a service like that.
Or you use a rotary tool to sand them down...
This thing's only use is: send it to Bigclive.
:)
It didn't catch fire, that's something.
I think the motor would burn out before literally catching fire.
Ergonomic grip is actually not made up, even just do a Google search before you make a comment like that
Ergonomic
Means its ment to be comfortable to use.
You may have heared of ergonomic keybords.
" it's safe to the touch" **mike hurts his finger twice** >.>
I honestly think some kitchen supply company is trying to sell old cheese graters remarketed as fingernail clippers.
So you are saying we shouldn't tonch it's allays?
Tungsten allays the fears of the timid space aliens known as the Tonch!
Or something like that.
the clipper looks like a taser to me
PUT YOUR WILLY IN IT. LOL
"safe to the tonch" now if you try to sue them when it injures you they can claim "we never told you to touch it".
BUT MIKE!!! Will it trim and smooth cheese?
I'm not getting one of these anywhere near my tonch.
Quiet! I have the Couch Shall!
has this man honestly never heard of an ergonomic grip
2 mins? Holy balls I'm early. Don't know if you're gonna read this Mike but thanks for the entertainment over the years of me having depression and shit. Love your humor.
Luckily no tonches were harmed in the making of this video.
Send it to Big Clive so he can take it to bits.
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?
But does it work on cheese?
I know that the ad was trying to imply that the target demographic is elderly people with shaky hands, but in that case why the hell would you give them something with moving blades?!
Safe to the tonch.
Wow.
5 stars
Just wait for Jaboody to make a dub of this infomercial
you also misseed they alloy typo.. clearly these people hire the finest proof readers
Good shit as always bro
You need nails to be able to cut them, it's a basic need with this one
this thing sounds horrific but to be fair your nails are already short anyway mike, i'd be curious to see someone with nails as long as the ones in the ad, i can only imagine that the moment you put the nail in their it's just snag and split it :S
It vibrates the nail / 20
That hairline is galloping back at a fair pace, give it up son!
Your nails were already trimmed, possibly too short, for this product to work for you.
Ergonomic is definitely a thing, it means it won't slip and is more comfortable to hold for people with hand cramps or arthritis.
didn't use it on cheese. disliked and unsubbed.
"it's so fun" I wonder what you do on Friday nights?
"Can be used for kids"
Yeah sure, my kids won't be scared by a loud screeching nail grinder.
Allay should probably be Alloy
XD that looks like a drill bit
