Good points. Someone had told me those tables were "only" about $400! I
didn't even think about the expense of the shears. I had no idea they cost that
much! Egads. I guess it's back to Fisgar (sp) scissors for me! But still I
think the mat on the ground and the ratchet things would be useful for keeping
the toenails trimmed without having to wait a whole year. Can teeth be
trimmed with this gizmo, the toothomatic, while they are laying down as well?
