Why you need two nail clippers, one for your fingernails & another for your toes?

You don't need two.

That said, the larger sized one has a wider radius cutting edge, which is more appropriate for larger nails, so better suited for cutting your toe nails.

If you can cut all of your nails with one comfortably, you don't really need two.

I have small toes and never found it necessary to use large clippers.

I use toenail clippers for my fingernails in addition to my toenails. I have some problems with fine motor-skills & bigger clippers are easier for me to handle. I also have some problems with my feet that may or may not be related to my toenails being weird. I can have problems cutting my toenails on my big toes because it's like the clippers squeeze the nails instead of cutting them & the nails kind of break apart. I've had problems with ingrown toenails on my big toes afew times(not recently & spread out over YEARS) & the last time I was told I could get the whole nail removed. I decided not to due to me to needing to decide right then & I was wondering if my toe would feel weird missing the nail forever after. Nowadays though I'm thinking I'd like to have all my toenails removed so I wouldn't have to deal with cutting my nails or my nails snagging on things like my socks & bed-sheets & causing the nail to start peeling off.
