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.
I think someone was pushing my brain back a half millimeter and using
cuticle clippers to trim it.

But what is the point of newsgroups if the same qustions are relegated
to the web only?

What is the point of skipping the web and asking random personal
hygiene questions on alt.home.repair?

Including the words "personal" and "hygiene" makes it sound like a truly
personal question, maybe even an improper one, when I think it's only a
home repair question. These clippers are home-use tools just like
needle-nose pliers are. And much of what we do to maintain and repair
our bodies is the same as we do for our houses.

Why take the difficult route when the easy way is available? As you've
seen, there's precious little knowledge of cuticle clippers here.

I thought there was quite a bit.
