We have designed a device that greatly eases dog-toenail clipping. Specifically, it is a thimble 100 that fits over the shear 22 and adjacent parts of a Resco clipper 20. The thimble is secured by a tiny dab of gum 24 under the rear edge.
The thimble helps guide a toenail into the shear and limits the length of toenail sheared, thereby avoiding tedium, stress, pain and bleeding. Mass producing the thimble seemed impractical, so we are providing it as a 3-D-print file and asking that users add $2.00 to our PayPal account for each successful printing. FYI: it took us about two years to optimize outer and inner dimensions of the clipper guide.
If satisfied, pay $2.00 to PayPal account of xmsdavidr@gmail.com.
The printer file includes eight versions of the thimble. A set of four that fit the clipper in one orientation and a set of four more that fit the clipper in the opposite orientation. Each set provides a choice of four clip lenths: 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm.
