PediClipper

Tools for improving the quality of life as we grow older — shared by the Tech-enhanced Life community.
Summary
PediClipper is a modified, extended toenail clipper designed to allow persons with range of motion limitations to clip their toe nails.
From the website: "The Pedi Clipper™ is a great new precision long handled toenail clipper that makes cutting your toenails super easy!! Anybody who has trouble bending over at the waist or who has a bad back, hips or knees can find it very painful to stretch, bend down and clip their own toenails. Many people are forced to give up and have someone else trim their toenails for them.
The Pedi Clipper™ solves this problem with little or no bending. The clipper is 18" long, has a large, ergonomic grip and is easy to control; it is an ideal product for anybody who has trouble bending down to clip their toenails."

Tech-enhanced Life Resource Database
This is one of hundreds of products and resources in the Tech-enhanced Life database of "useful products and resources".
The theme of this collection of resources is "tools we can use to help improve our quality of life as we grow older".
We have no vested interest in any of these products or services, but we have collected descriptions of them, and organized them according to various themes relating to the challenges of aging — so older adults and their families can find useful products they do not yet know about.
Members of Tech-enhanced Life can search by categories, add reviews of the products, and see links to the manufacturer's websites where they can buy the product or access the resource.
The criteria for adding products and resources to this database is that we think they "look useful, noteworthy, and interesting", and have the potential to improve life for older adults and their families. We have evaluated some of these products, in which case you will see links to a detailed review and or to explorer discussions about the product on this page, or inputs from explorers in the comments.
If the listing does not include reviews or explorer discussions, then we have not evaluated it sufficiently to be able to recommend it or comment on how well it works. If you research this product or resource further, and especially if you try it out, please come back to this page and add your comments.

This product looks ideal for anyone, like me, with joint problems which prevent me from reaching far enough to be able to cut my toenails. Only one problem ... so far as I can tell, they are only available if you live in the USA, and I don't!!! ... AND NO OTHER COUNTRY SEEMS TO HAVE AN EQUIVALENT ITEM AVAILABLE !!!!!!!!!!!
