Once I found the right clippers that would fit it, it worked for over a year before it broke.

I had a very lovely person work with me on making these but unfortunately they don’t work well. I have to push so hard with my wrist to clip my nails that the clippers bent and bend my nails. It also pushed my nail clippers into the device.
