A long handle toenail clipper for permitting a person to cut their toenails without having to bend all the way over, comprising:a nail clipper having normally spaced cutting edges, and an actuating lever for moving said cutting edges toward each other to effect the desired cutting action; an elongated cylindrical tubular housing mounted above said clipper having a plunger rod slidably mounted therein for movement toward said lever to actuate same; a stabilizing arm pivotally connected at a point adjacent the opposite end of said clipper from said cutting edges, said stabilizing arm extending upwardly in substantially parallel relation to said tubular housing and selectively swingable sidewise with respect thereto to a desired position wherein gripping of the stabilizing bar with one hand holds the clipper steady without obstructing the user's view of the clipper, while the other hand operates the plunger rod; and means for retaining said stabilizing bar in its selected operative position.
