Which nail clippers?

I want to try cutting my buns nails myself, can you recommend a good (idiot proof) set of clippers to buy? The vet showed me how to do it, although I'll probably go back to do it under supervision the first time!
 
I stopped using nail clipper, because I always afraid of over cutting into the quick and causes blood. But the consequence that I face is that my bun snap her nail and her finger due to the excessive length of the nail.

In the end, I bought the above.

If the nail got too long and you don't cut it, 2 bad things can happen, as they had BOTH happened to my buns:

1) the nail will snap, blood will arise at the snap point, and bacteria can get in from the opening

2) The nail can trap by some sort of hole, and snap the finger joint, then the finger is loose and look like it's broken
 
Raven Rex, what do you use instead of clippers?

I use human toe nail clippers. I find they are easier to handle than other types of pet nail clippers. I use a Dremel on my dogs nails, but think the noise would freak my bunnies out even worse.
