can left-handed people use these clippers?

I think so. I've had to switch hands so that I can get a better position on the foot/nail. So, I would assume if you're left handed then you should be good to go

The handle is designed for either hand and the blade appears to be the same on both sides.

hello, Well, short answer is NO. I bought this set and they're right handed. You have to find the item that specifically says "left handed". Save yourself some trouble... :)

My wife is left handed too! But we can't find the way to turn the blades. We tried to remove the circle button on the top, but we can not do it!

The handle ergonomics are biased for Righties but are dual purposed enough to be usable by Lefties; at least I can use them with my left hand. IMHO it would be a good idea for Lefties to try out a pair before purchase if possible, but at least Amazon offers a very good product return policy.

The handle and silicone paddle are in a straight line. You should be able to use them with either hand. I am a righty but have used them left handed and held them either way in my right hand.

I'm not left handed, but I doubt the safety instructions would sanction the operator standing on the blade side versus the motor side of the device. If you are comfortable reaching across your body, the power switch is accessible from both the left and right.

My Mom is a leftie and she has a pair she uses all the time. They are the best thing since sliced bread. They cut everything. I use them not just for herbs but for lettuce for tacos and I cut up vegetables for omelets as well as ham and the cheese. Great pair of scissors

Yes. Righthand people need left hand gloves. It is to help with the grip better.

Being right handed myself, I can not really say for sure, however, they are remarkably light weight for pinking sheers. (And they actually work well.) I would guess if you are used to other right handed scissors, you'll be fine.

Absolutely. You can also alternate the direction of the clip for left pocket carry however it's not designed for left hand operation. At least left hand opening or closing.

No problem they are for right or left handed people. I think they are the greatest item invented. We use them at daycareCindy

I am right handed sorry I can not help you with your question. The tiny scissors is great for face and feet. ! I have only had them a few days but really like them.

I'm not certain. However, I checked the QuickStart guide and saw no reference to "left hand." From my view, I can think of no reason why it would not work for a left handed person.

While the finger holds are the same held either way, I do not think that you would find it satisfactory. The entire purpose of these is the large blade which protects you from cutting too much. Reversed you lose that protection because the larger blade would end up on the bottom. So I would not get these for a leftie. I found their contact info and included it below. Hope you can locate left-handed ones because they are just the ticket for cutting out tricky appliques and other close trimming work. The larger blade really does protect well.

I had to check. Yes. The curvature of the handles is equal on both sides. Therefore they could be used by left handed people as well as right handed people

I'm left handed and I could use it fine...I returned mine because with this model I had to cut my vegetables about 4" long for them to fit in the machine.

I think it would be difficult for a left-handed person to use this. You will have to use it with the handle away from you (hope the description makes sense)---it might work but it definitely won't be a comfortable way to open cans.
