What is Nail Clipper?
A nail clipper is a small handheld tool designed to trim and shape fingernails and toenails. It typically consists of two metal blades joined together by a spring, with one blade having a curved edge that fits around the nail. When pressure is applied to the lever, the blades close together to cut the nail cleanly and smoothly. Nail clippers come in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate different nail types and sizes, and they can be made from various materials, such as stainless steel or plastic. They are a common personal grooming tool and are often found in manicure and pedicure sets.
What is difference between Nail Clipper and Nail Cutter?
There is no significant difference between a nail clipper and a nail cutter in terms of their basic function, which is to trim or cut nails. The terms are often used interchangeably. However, some people may use “nail clipper” to refer to a smaller, handheld device that is operated with a lever, while “nail cutter” may be used to describe a larger, heavier-duty tool that requires more force to use. Ultimately, the specific design and functionality of the tool can vary between manufacturers and users.
How is Nail Clipper is used?
To use a nail clipper, follow these steps:
- Clean your hands and the nail clipper with soap and water, and dry thoroughly.
- Choose the appropriate size of the nail clipper according to your nail size.
- Hold the clipper in your dominant hand and the nail you want to trim with your other hand.
- Position the blade of the clipper on the nail where you want to make the cut, leaving a small amount of the nail protruding beyond the edge of the clipper.
- Press down on the lever of the clipper with a firm, even pressure.
- Release the lever and check to see if the nail has been cut to your desired length.
- Repeat on the rest of your nails, ensuring that you do not over-clip them, which can cause discomfort or bleeding.
