I've always thought they were for cutting off the little piece of skin
that is sometimes at the right or left end of a nail. But it fanally
occurred to me that I only have that once a year or less and even then I
think it's becauase I do bad things with my fingernail, things most
people don't do.

My mother had a pair of them and I know she never mistreated her
fingers.

So do you or your wives have one of these things; how often do you have
a use for it? Is it just for that little stub of skin at the front
corner of a nail?

I beg of you: create a bookmark that points to google. Or duckduckgo.
Or make it your home page when you open your browser, or open a new
tab in your browser.

There was no video on the ad I saw, and it didn't occur to me that there
would be one elsewhere, even though I couldn't imagine what they were
for, other than what I said.

"Everything" is on the internet.

What are cuticle clippers used for

Plug it into a search engine. Anybody with half a brain can do that.

Wow. What a silly, maybe horrific thing to do to oneself! Pushing the
skin at the root of the nail back. Why? Is there a need for that? Does
someone want to erect an office building? A shopping center? What
benefit does 0.5 mm. of extra nail do anyone in place of the skin that
is already there?

It's not horrific. I find that when I let my cuticles do their own thing,
it's easier for painful cracks to form in the cuticle. A little pushing, a little
trimming, and it's all good.
