Don’t even THINK of using your death-grip nail ripper, pal. Use the Buzz B. Battery Operated Trimmer ($25) instead. This beauty, which runs on one AA battery, has two power settings and four cushioned pads: two for infants, two for toddlers. It utilizes a soft, gentle oscillation, guaranteeing a safe, scream-free trim. And unlike your bargain-basement hacker, the Buzz B. won’t rust or spit out nails you cut last year. Sweet!
