Making a Difference
Two Lives That Changed Everything
Tom McMullen's sister fought polio with grace. His wife Trudy faced health challenges with courage. Both taught him the same lesson: Independence isn't measured in big victories—it's lost and won in tiny, daily battles no one else sees.
That's why ClipDifferent exists. Not because the world needed another nail clipper, but because Tom's sister needed dignity. Because Trudy deserved autonomy. Because millions of people fight these invisible battles every single day.
Now Tom and daughter Melanie pour everything—his engineering brilliance, her modern vision, their shared stubborn optimism—into products that say what they both believe: You deserve better than "good enough."
A Promise of Independence
Our promise remains simple: we transform nail care from a dreaded task into a moment of empowerment, turning ordinary into extraordinary, one safe clip at a time.
"We seek to make a difference by developing products that help you live a more independent, enriching, and empowered life."
