Abstract
A nail trimmer apparatus as porvided by the present invention is a small handheld battery powered device that trims nails without damaging the surrounding skin.

A cushioned abrasive surface attached to the head oscillates with a frequency and stoke that optimizes the trimming of the nail while not adversely affecting surrounding skin.
