Rethinking the Ergonomics of the Nail Clipper

Even after all these years, I find cutting my nails awkward, particularly when using my non-dominant hand. Canadian company Khlip reckons the nail clipper’s incumbent form factor is actually backwards, so they developed this alternate take.

“All this time you’ve been doing it back-to-front,” the company writes. Their reverse arrangement, which has the user apply leverage in the direction of the fingernail, “gives you increased control and leverage as you trim your nails. The forward facing lever applies pressure directly over the nail, giving you better control and a more comfortable grip.”

The extra ergonomic attention doesn’t come cheap: These run $80.
