Cuticle tools are commonly made from wood, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, steel, and steel alloys.
Manual cuticle sticks and pushers commonly have pointed and beveled ends. Some dual-ended metal tools combine a pusher with a sharper cleanup end for more precise work.
Recommended care includes wiping or spot-cleaning tools after use, rinsing some steel options when needed, storing tools in a dry place, and keeping metal nippers lightly oiled to help prevent rust.
Nail drill bits are used to trim and remove sides of cuticles or dead skin, polish and smooth nail surfaces, remove gel and dead skin, and clean around the cuticle using brush-type bits.
Some tools feature soft-touch or rubberized, anti-slip grips to improve control and comfort during use.
