How Lil Nipper Works
Press the On/Off button. Insert nail tip into safety slot.
Pivot the finger for a nice rounded trim. It is very gentle and will cut a sliver of a nail at a time. If you’d like more nail trimmed, tip the angle to adjust nail length.
Repeat with any nail that needs to be trimmed.
Slide the bottom panel to dispose of your nail clippings.

Why We Created ClipDifferent
Tom's sister had polio. His wife Trudy faced debilitating health challenges. Both deserved better than the world offered.
So Tom engineered "better". His daughter Melanie ensures that "better" reaches everyone who needs it.
ClipDifferent isn't their company. It's their promise. To Trudy. To his sister. To you.
That dignity is non-negotiable. That independence is a right. That the smallest victories matter most.
Let customers speak for us
It was great my only regret is your company doesn't make a machine like that for toenails
works very well - easy to operate - very safe
thank you for finally helping my family kill the fingernail struggle. it gives them autonomy to do it on their own safely and accurately. finally- no fighting!
Very easy for a kid to use. My 7 year old can clip his own nails now. It used to be a fight every time and now I just say, hey, go clip your nails. It’s quick and easy. No more fighting. Worth the price point!
You’ll never accidentally cut your babies skin! Great product! I got this as a gift and LOVE IT!! Some people say it doesn’t work well but I think it’s user error. You have to push your babies finger up against the metal part and make sure their nail is in the opening for a good 2-3 seconds, then it will trim. I’ve tried other nail trimmers and this one is my favorite! The best part? You’re guaranteed to never hurt them no matter how much they are moving around.
Great gift for my mother with arthritis. No longer has to dread the pain of cutting her nails with a regular clipper.
Very easy! I got this for my teens so they would stop biting their nails. They were hesitant at first because of the small noise it makes when running and the nibbling sensation on the nail. But once they tried it they loved it.
Super safe! the one who always has to test the limits even tried to put her finger in hard to see if it would cut her finger and it would not.
Convenient and fast! I use it too. it quickly cuts nails down to the perfect length and I need less filing than I used to with regular nail clippers.
Amazing clipper well worth the price for the time (and cleanup after the kids) I'll be saving!
I suffered a stroke and only have the use of one hand. I can use regular nail clippers on my right hand but this is the only solution I could find for my left hand. It weighs enough to keep it down and its non-slip base works fine if you put it along a vertical surface. I bought it 4 years ago and it's still going strong.
I bought two units recently, one for me and one for my aging parents whose vision and dexterity is becoming more and more of an issue, which was reflected in their overly-long or broken fingernails.
I’m happy to report that my folks love their ClipDifferent unit and use it regularly (and keep thanking me for it).
As for me, I also love the unit because I just don’t like cutting my nails and this makes it so much easier—almost fun. A great product!
I bought this for myself, as I've been having hand trouble and found myself no longer able to use regular clippers. I had tried regular scissors and official nail scissors, and couldn't get an even trim. I finally decided to splurge on this, and I don't think I've ever been happier with a purchase! I can trim my nails in 5 minutes without hand pain again! It took a try or two to get the hang of following the curve of my nail for an even trim without sharp corners, but now I'm hooked. If I could afford to, I'd be buying these left and right as gifts for everyone I know who has hand problems.
Loved it. I like my nails a little longer, after a few attempts I figured it out. This is so easy and quick! Definitely a winner.
THIS IS JUST WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. IT IS A LITTLE BIT PRICY, BUT I GUESS YOU HAVE TO PAY I BIT EXTRA FOR SOMETHING THAT GETS THE JOB DONE. MANY THANKS.
I've had the ClipDifferent for about a year. I was so impressed with it that my son-in-law asked for one for Christmas. I bought the ClipDifferent for myself as my arthritis makes it difficult to clip my nails. Instead, my husband took over and uses it all the time. Great product.
I bought this product for my grandparents. At first, they refused to use it because they felt like it will hurt them. After I demo it, they started to try. They love it.
I have arthritis in my hands and this product allows me to cut my own nails I very much need this and love it! Thank you!
