With the nail driver you can drive small nails without a hammer. It consists of a metal hollow shaft with spring mechanism that sticks into a wooden or plastic handle. The nail is inserted into the hollow shaft. By giving a firm blow to the head - which is wider and rounded - by hand, the nail goes into the material in one movement. [MOT]

Toenails can easily be cut with nail tongs. As with the pocket nail-clippers, the jaws are sharp. The legs are crossed and sometimes a spring on one of the legs ensures that the tongs open automatically. [MOT]

The nose twitch consists of a wooden stick - sometimes made of plastic - of about 50 cm with a hole at one end through which a loop of rope (exceptionally a chain) protrudes. The tool is used as a means of coercion to divert the attention of a horse during disturbing (eg eye care) or painful procedures and to induce a calming and sedative effect (cf. humane twitch). With the left hand, the loop is brought over the upper lip of the animal, with the right, the loop is tightened. The same implement is used on cattle, but on an ear (1). [MOT] (1) BERTHELON: 13.
