Thread: Unusual tool use found

Did you ever have a tool intended for a specific purpose and then find that it is also perfectly suited for an entirely different use.

This just happened to me a few days ago and thought I would share it. I mis-placed my toe-nail clipper recently so I tried trimming my toes with the "flush cutter" that I use for removing pins from straight razors. Works great. Actually as good or even a little better. End of story.

And I think I appreciate that it is.

I also know what I'll be thinking about the next time I trim my toe nails.

I will also think about any razors re-scalled by Mrsell63.........lol

Right you areike except when they have beenmisplaced. That is when l need to substitute with whatever is available.

I checked out those nail cutters. Allow me to remind you that l am not a horse. Some of those cutters would take a man's toe clean off !!!

I use a set of 4" flush cut side cutters for my big toenails, as they are very thick (some sort of weird birth defect) I can't really use anything else.
