That small round hole on your nail clippers isn’t just decorative — it has several smart uses beyond trimming nails.
1. Keychain Holder
“Thread a keyring through the hole to securely attach the clippers to your keys.” It’s more durable than the tiny chain most clippers come with and keeps them easy to find.
2. Wire Bender
You can “insert wire through the hole and use the clipper’s body to bend it safely.” This trick helps shape or break wires with better control and less risk of injury.
3. Mini Screwdriver
The metal nail file attached near the hole “can double as a screwdriver.” It’s handy for loosening small screws when you don’t have tools around.
4. Box Opener
The pointed tip of the file “can slice through packing tape on boxes,” making it a quick fix for opening packages.
That tiny hole proves that even a simple nail clipper can be a surprisingly versatile tool.
