A magnifying lens is mounted on a pivotable swing arm for visibility, and light-emitting diodes illuminate the cutting area. Additional features include integrated storage for a nail file and a manicure tool within the handle cavity. The invention addresses the need for a compact, multi-functional grooming tool with improved ergonomics and precision.
