Our Mission is to help seniors trim their toenails, since the majority of the elderly can’t because of aging problems like:
- Poor Vision/Eyesight,
- Flexibility Issues,
- Thick toenails, etc.
The contraption our team created (The EZ-Reacher Toenail Clipper) is focused on seniors who want to maintain their toenail-clipping independence without a hefty price attached.
