I've tried making a conscious effort to cover nails with clear coat to help protect them. Still they split and at a certain length break.

You could have an iron deficiency. I found this website that seems to have a lot of information about brittle nails.

well take some prenantal vitamins your body is lacking something and u can tell cause your hair will get dry and split too. these vitimans really help me ou.t u dont have to take them all the time when your nails get like u want them. ohhh, and make sure u always push your cuticals back it stimulates your nails and and helps them get stronger. you could also tap them on a desk (or something hard) for like a while that willl also help stimulate them . also dont put polish on them for a while its really not that healthy but if u take the vitmins then it should be ok.
i do all of this and i can screw in screws with my nails

your nails are breaking due to not enough of a necessary vitamin in your diet. Use a clear nail hardener like sally hansen's hard as nails or in your beverage put in some knox gelatin it is supposed to be good for nail strengthening. It can even be stirred into jello, it is tasteless.

DO NOT BUFF YOUR NAILS, because that is what makes them thin and crack. If you want to have your nails look nice until they grow out, you can have them covered with silk/ linen wraps and keep having your nails shaved down until they grow out completely. (if you let them get to long, they may get seperated from your nails. you also might have to have them glued back down.)

PUT HARD AS NAILS ON THEM. A FINGER NAIL POLISH. MAKE SURE YOU FILL YOUR NAIL TO KEEP THEM AT A CERTAIN LENGTH.
