Nail clippers may also be entirely enclosed in a flexible plastic so that they appear less threatening to children, especially those who are afraid of being cut by the clippers. These may be manufactured as "child-proof" nail clippers. Nail cutters are usually made of metal. Two common varieties are the plier type and the compound lever type.
