"Fighting Tooth and Nail"

If you fight tooth and nail for something, you fight as hard as you can to get it or achieve it.

The adverbial phrase “tooth and nail” (originally “with tooth and nail”) literally means “with the use of one's teeth and nails as weapons; by biting and scratching,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
