Yeah but then you don't cut your nails and within 5 minutes you break a nail and you have to care for it for 2 weeks to make sure it doesn't split.
Sounds like either your clippers are dull, you have a nutrient deficiency giving you brittle nails, or you might need to file them a little after cutting. Those are the only times that happens to me.
Some people just have less tough nails, or do a bit more rough stuff where long nails are an issue. Anybody doing any kind of construction will tell you to keep your nails short. I take good care of my nails and my equipment is top notch.
