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 cutting edge, allowing for precise and clean cuts. 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 cutting edges and squeezes the lever to cut. Regular nail trimming helps maintain hygiene and prevents issues like ingrown nails. Nail clippers are often found in personal grooming kits alongside other tools like nail files and cuticle pushers.
