A hand-held gripping device that allows one of a surgeon, a dentist, and an orthodontist to reach interior portions of a person's anatomy, includes a gripping portion having a pair of jaws movable relative to each other between fully clamped and fully opened positions thereof, a handle portion spaced apart from the jaw portion by a bendable central portion that has a hollow, bendable corrugated with at least one cord extending therethrough.

A cutting apparatus for cutting foods with shells having a bottom handle, a top handle, and a cutting blade are disclosed. The cutting blade includes two holes connected by a slot that is configured to receive a pin that locks the position of the cutting blade relative to the handles. In a open configuration the pin can be pressed into one of the holes locking the cutting blade in a open position. In a closed configuration the pin can be pressed into the other hole which locks the cutting blade into a closed position. The pin can also be disengaged from either hole to occupy the slot such that the handles can moved relative to one another such that a cutting action may be made.

Devices, systems, and methods for nail clipping, for example, animal nail clipping, include a nail clipper including a body for grasping by a user's hand. The body may define a clip space as an opening for insertion of a subject's nail for clipping. The clipper can include at least one blade coupled with the body for movement between a withdraw position retracted from the clip space and a clip position extended into the clip space for clipping, and a clipping control system including a sensor system for detecting non-shell material of a subject's nail within the clip space.
