Abstract
A hair trimming tool which includes an elongated handle with a first end and a second end, a blade member releasably mounted to the handle, a plurality of blades extending outwardly from the blade member, and an end cap secured to the blade member is disclosed. In order to use the tool the user inserts the tool into his ear, with the end cap fitting within the ear, and rotates the handle member. As a result of this action the blades contact the hair within the ear, thereby trimming the hair. The end cap protects the inside of the person's ear while the hair is being trimmed.
