IMO, the best nail "clipper" is a Dremel. I've found that sanding the nails rather that clipping is lots easier, with little to no chance of hitting the quick, and it produces a smooth, snag-free nail.
Does anyone have experience with QuickFinder clippers? I found them on carealotpets.com. They supposedly detect the quick? I did not want to spend $$$ for something that does not do what it says it does therefore I am asking here. The deluxe one says "with improved cutting action, sensitivity, and strength for large breed dogs and hard to cut nails. The unique QuickSensor technology easily detect your pet's quick before you clip the nail with lighted cues."
thanks,

They don't work. They work on the same technology as a stud finder. Dogs nor their quicks work in that manner. We tried one out for fun at work. Some of the suggested cut points were pretty comical and dangerous.
Thanks for saving me the $$$! I hate getting stuff that does not work and I have gotten tons. I just tossed all the harnesses, flexi leashes, etc. etc. that we got in our pre Leerburg times when we had no guidance and just tried to guess what works. Had I found this website sooner I would have saved myself and the dogs lots of confusion, frustration, and money.
thanks again,
I like the aforementioned orange millers forge clippers. I have used them for longer than any others and had good results. I do like the guillotine type too but they dull fast and, as was mentioned, seem to be prone to breaking. If I use the guillotine type I go with JW brand as they are reasonably priced and hold up as well as any. As it is I use any of them so much I throw them away and buy new every 6 months or so.

This is key. Clippers should be sharp. I actually have mine sharpened about once every six months. It costs as much as a new set but I don't like waste. When they can't hold an edge anymore it's simply time for a new set.
Dull clippers crush which increases the discomfort factor for a dog.
