A nail clipper is a small handheld tool designed for trimming fingernails and toenails. It typically consists of a metal lever that operates a sharp blade, allowing for a clean cut. Nail clippers come in various sizes and designs, catering to different nail types and personal preferences. Using a nail clipper is straightforward: the user places the nail between the blades and squeezes the lever to cut. Regular nail care with a clipper helps maintain hygiene and prevents issues like ingrown nails. Other related tools include nail files and cuticle pushers, which can enhance nail grooming.
