Nail Clipper

The challenge

Personal hygiene is very important, and performing tasks like cutting your nails can be difficult for some people because of various finger dexterity limitations. Many individuals struggle with the precise and consecutive motions involved with clipping one’s own nails, so this tool provides a cheap, simple solution to this problem.

Who it helps

Many people have limited finger or hand dexterity. Those people may suffer from a lack of grip strength, coordination, or fine motor skills which can prevent them from completing everyday tasks on their own.
