DIY toe nails

[williamwright]

How the hell am I going to cut my own toe nails? I can't reach my feet unless I hold my breath. Robotic surgery?

Less beer?

I've tried that for all sorts of problems. It never seems to help.

(a) fit grinding disc to angle grinder, (b) wedge it between a few bricks and turn on (c) curl toes...

ERm I have no trouble with that, I'm assuming you have some problem in range of movement.

I'm sure that cutting toenails could be accomplished with little chance of cross infection really. Brian

get a flymo and cut the grass wearing flip-flops ?.

Let them grow and wear open toe sandals (no socks)

[Roger Hayter]

When they are three inches long and curve up into the sole of the foot then the chiropodist will use a mini angle grinder (more like a robust Dremel really).

Long handled scissors?

(Or this being Uk DIY, one ought to say Angle Grinder)

[Dave W]

Have you considered mounting a small grinding wheel into a Dremmel which is clamped to something immovable. Then you offer up your toenails to it. I'm sure there's enough feeling in your toes to know when you're getting too close.

Another idea would be to construct long handles for a pair of scissors, while you observe the operation through field-glasses. Or a big lens near the toes.

[Max Demian]

Use one of those long handled edge clippers made for the lawn.

that's the correct answer. Better have excellent eyesight! There's probably something 3d printable to do the job.
