Our Mission

We seek to make a difference by developing products that help you live a more independent, enriching, and empowered life.

Lil Nippers were developed to help those who have lost hand strength or dexterity, as well as people with visual, sensory, or cognitive impairments, various diseases, or upper limb loss & limb difference.

They were also created for parents, nail biters, toddlers and young kids, and for people who want a better way.

The Power of One Small Thing

Tom McMullen Jr. (ClipDifferent Creator and Founder)

At ClipDifferent, compassion and innovation drive our mission to make life easier for those facing extraordinary challenges. Inspired by Tom McMullen's personal experiences with his sister’s polio resilience and his late wife Trudy’s health struggles, we created products that empower.

Our electric nail clippers simplify a messy, unsafe process, assisting individuals with hand strength or dexterity issues, sensory impairments, vision loss, or limb differences. They also offer peace of mind to parents, caregivers, and aging individuals seeking independence.

We believe small acts of care transform lives—one clip at a time.
