Need Special Tool - Any Leads?
I'm looking for a tool I've never seen in real life before... Best way to
describe it is a nail clipper with blades that curve out at the center rather than in. Anyone know of such an item? It has to have the same orientation as an actual nail clipper too. Pliers-type doesn't fit in the equipment access. It doesn't need to be too sturdy as it will be used for plastic snipping most of the time. Same sturdiness as a nail clipper will do. ....In fact, a nail clipper with blades curving outward would be perfect but because such a device is probably really unsafe, I can't imagine them being made by any company for that purpose.

Joe,
Such a tool is made; I've got one right here. It's a toenail clipper. When you first look at it, the cutting edges appear to be straight across, but if you hold it up to a straightedge, it's easy to see that they're curved slightly outwards. Go to someplace like Osco, Walgreen's or Treasury Drug and find the toenail clippers. There'll probably be one like what I've described in there somewhere.

Toenail clippers?

Very close! I'll keep looking at those. Those have the cutters at the same
or close to the same angle as the handle. I need ones that are 90 degrees to the handle like a nail clipper would be. Much appreciated on the new direction to search though!!!

About 2 1/2" long. Radio Shack. Or a real Electronics supply place. Flush cutting miniature end nipper/clipper/cutter.
