Actually no… (dusts off EE degree)… the fact that it's stainless steel will raise the *resistance* of the circuit, which will cause a *voltage drop* across the nail clippers proportional to the *current* flowing through them.

V = IR -- Ohm's Law.

That power loss (P=I²R) will be seen as heat dissipation. The conductors there, whilst not ideal, seem big enough to handle the likely small amount of current. I doubt it's 10A flowing through that.

The dangerous bit about this is the fact that there is no insulation to prevent someone from making contact with the active or neutral circuits.

Human skin resistance at 230V (or even 110V) is not sufficient to keep current flow below safe levels, so the current flow may cause fibrillation of the heart.

If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be any more dangerous than a proper travel adaptor. (Which would comply with AS/NZS:3000.)
