Best Toenail Clippers for Older Adults

Finding the right toenail clippers to work for an older adult has been a recurring discussion topic among circle members. We have narrowed down the array of possible nail clippers and tools to a short list that seem promising for hands-on evaluation.

Please look these over, and if you try one out please comment at the bottom on your experience or come along to our circle discussions and share what you learned.

The key issues our members are trying to solve with these devices are:

• thick hard to cut toenails;
• difficulty reaching the toe;
• arthritic hands making operation of the clippers hard;
• toes that are bent or otherwise not "as usual" due to conditions like arthritis.
