Description

A nail clipper is a tool used for trimming nails, typically featuring a lever-action mechanism to cut through the nail with precision. It’s one of the most common tools for maintaining nails, whether for fingers or toes.

There are different types of nail clippers:

• Standard nail clippers: These are typically smaller and meant for fingernails.
• Toenail clippers: These are larger, with a wider and stronger jaw to handle the thicker nails on your toes.
• Straight vs. curved: Some clippers have a straight edge for a more squared-off cut, while others have a curved edge to mimic the natural shape of the nail.

When using a nail clipper, it’s important to trim nails straight across (especially toenails) to avoid ingrown nails and other nail issues.
