Nail clipper or clippers

Hello everybody!

Is it a nail clipper or nail clippers? Do we usually use the plural form "clippers" when referring to just one tool used to cut nails?

Thanks in advance!

Uthman Do we usually use the plural form "clippers" when referring to just one tool used to cut nails? Usually yes, if the implement has two 'halves', like scissors, pliers, tweezers and shears.
