Claim:
A nail treating tool comprising: a graspable handle; a support; a first treating surface for altering an exposed surface of a user's nail; and a second treating surface, the first and second treating surfaces both attached to the support and interchangeably placeable in an operative position relative to the graspable handle such that the graspable handle can be grasped in a first manner for use by a user and manipulated to bear one of the first and second treating surfaces that is in the operative position against a user's nail to effect treatment thereof, wherein the support is movable guidingly relative to the graspable handle to thereby selectively place the first and second treating surfaces in the operative position without separating the graspable handle and support from each other, the graspable handle graspable for use by a user with a user's fingers wrapping around the handle so as to reside between the handle and the support with each of the first and second treating surfaces in the operative position, wherein the first and second treating surfaces and support are movable as one piece relative to the graspable handle, wherein the support is movable guidingly relative to the graspable handle around an axis, wherein the graspable handle has an elongate base with a length and the length of the elongate base is substantially parallel to the axis and the elongate base is spaced from the support with each of the first and second treating surfaces in the operative position to allow extension of a user's fingers between the elongate base and the support in a manner whereby: a) the user's fingers extended between the elongate base and support can be wrapped around the elongate base to hold the nail treating tool; and b) the user's fingers extended between the elongate base and support can be pressed against the support to bear each of the first and second treating surfaces, when in the operative position, against a surface to be selectively treated by the first and second treating surfaces, the support having a perimeter shape defined by a plurality of sides including at least the first and second sides as viewed in an axial direction, the axis residing within the perimeter shape and spaced from each of the plurality of sides, wherein the first and second surfaces are moveable as one piece with the support around the axis, wherein the handle comprises a portion that can be grasped and continuously held by a user as the user moves the support around the axis to thereby place the first and second treating surfaces each selectively in the operative position, wherein the first treating surface when in the operative position is situated relative to the handle in a first manner and the second treating surface when in the operative position is situated relative to the handle in a manner substantially the same as the first manner.
