Clippers designed for trimming the fingernails or toenails using a mechanism that performs a two-blade clipping action. These clippers are typically, small, manually operated, handheld or tabletop instruments with two articulated metal pieces, used for personal hygiene and grooming. Nail clippers are usually manipulated by an individual to trim his or her own nails. Dedicated clippers designed especially to cut toenails and/or for use by disabled individuals (e.g., tabletop-mounted clippers for fingernails, pistol-grip clippers for toenails) are also available. Other manual instruments that perform a shearing action, such as scissors and nippers, are also used to cut nails.
