Claim:
A multiple function tool comprising: two elongated plates substantially parallel and symmetric, each having a first and a second longitudinal extremity, as well as side extremities, the plates are connected at an articulation at the respective first longitudinal extremity, forming a sharp angle between them; the second longitudinal extremity has concave edges with projections sloping in relation to the plane of the plate, which form cutting blades in such a way that when pressing one plate against the other, these blades are brought together in order to perform the cutting of an object, especially nails; the side extremity has convex edges with projections sloping in relation to the plane of the plate, forming two other cooperating cutting blades, especially for cuticles; the tool is characterized by the fact that the second longitudinal extremities have a first and a second part, the first having concave edges with the culling blades, and the second being adjacent to the convex edges to form a vertex portion with an angle of attack to push and lift cuticles, as well as to clean the under part of the finger nails, wherein, when pressing one plate against the other, the only contact in the vertex portion takes place along the convex edges; and the second longitudinal extremities include parallel and symmetric slots separating said first from said second part.
