Digit tip trimmer
A nail clipper is a small handheld tool for trimming fingernails and toenails.
The standard design uses two lever-operated blades that meet to shear off nail edges: I keep a nail clipper in my desk drawer.
Larger versions exist for toenails, which are thicker.
Also called nail clippers even for a single tool.
