We sifted through hundreds of nail grooming tools marketed as, for example, “adaptive,” “universal,” “ergonomic,” for people with “poor hand control,” or “senior-friendly.” These models included: nail scissors, nail nippers, automatic electric clippers, lever-style clippers with adaptive grips and cutting positions (like our picks from Harac and EZ Grip), lever-style clippers with super-long handles for toenail clipping, and electric nail files (like our pick, the Seamind Cordless Electric Nail File Kit). These types of nail-care tools typically have a unique feature, such as a wider handle, rotating blades, electronic components, or attachments to help navigate hard-to-reach angles.
