The first end of the upper clipper is connected to the first end of the lower clipper with the second cutting end of the upper clipper adapted to cooperate with the second cutting end of the lower clipper. The upper and lower clippers extend away from one another from first towards the second end. Furthermore, an aperture is formed within the upper clipper approximate the second end, and an aperture is formed within the lower clipper approximate the second end. A post having a lower end and an upper end is positioned within the aperture of the upper clipper and within the aperture of the lower clipper. A clipper lever having a first end, and a forked second end is associated with the upper clipper. The forked second end of the clipper is pivotally secured to the upper end of the post. The clipper lever has a first orientation wherein the lever extends upwardly from the upper clipper, and a second orientation wherein the clipper lever is pivoted towards the upper clipper. When the clipper lever is pivoted towards the upper clipper the upper clipper is urged towards the lower clipper and the cutting end of the upper clipper and the cutting end of the lower clipper come into engagement with one another. An elastomeric sleeve is provided which has a first closed end, a second opened end, a lower smooth surface, an upper surface and two sides.
