My new favourite tool.

[bigegg]

To cut my toenails.

You can laugh, but i tried to use a set of nail clippers once and ended up needing four stitches.

In my thumb.

I allways use my knipex side cutters to cut my fingernails

Conventional nail clippers won't touch my toe nails. I bought some side cutters from the local tool shop, told the bloke what I wanted them for and he said the local chiropodist uses them rather than the proper nail clippers.

PS - I also use a steel cat comb for my hair, plastic combs just break. I draw the line at using a Dremel to clean my teeth though.

Dremelloid and sanding drum for the toenails...

Are you left handed then?, I use my right thumb nail for bending cores.

I used a die grinder & a very small dremel type cutter on my big toes. I thought it was just me.

Soak your feet in the bath before hand. Makes cutting them very easy

Our nail cutters are side cutter style, I can't get on with the end cutter type.

Steel dog comb here. When I had long hair, it was the only thing which lasted. Still use it now.

Side cutters for nails here too.

Don't need a comb any more! Pledge & a duster maybe

I've had a washbag for years, used for travelling, holidays etc., I noticed while on hols this year it still has a plastic comb in there, no idea why as I've been mostly bald for a few years

I use a diamond sharpening stone to do my finger nails!
