The ‘small round hole’ on the nail clipper has a unique and important function

Nail clippers are a staple in every household, primarily used for trimming nails or cutting small threads.

But have you ever noticed the small round hole at the end of certain nail clippers?

Let’s explore a few ways this small feature can be put to good use.

1. Nail Clippers as a Keychain
The small round hole on the nail clipper can be used to attach it to a keychain, ensuring it stays securely in place. As long as you don’t misplace your entire set of keys, the clipper will remain attached to the keychain. Some nail clippers even come with a small chain designed to fit through this hole. However, using the keychain directly to fasten the clipper is usually more reliable, keeping it securely attached without the risk of it falling off.

2. Bending Wire
You can insert a wire into the small round hole of the nail clipper to help bend it into the desired shape. This method requires very little force, making it safer than using your fingers, which could get scratched. For instance, when trying to break a wire, using your fingers might lead to injury, but with the nail clipper, you can bend the wire with ease and without any risk to your hands. It’s a simple and practical solution for shaping wire.

3. Using Nail Clippers as a Screwdriver
The small iron sheet attached to the round hole of the nail clipper is typically used for cleaning dirt under your nails, but it can also serve as a makeshift screwdriver. For smaller screws that aren’t commonly found around the house, you can use the iron sheet to unscrew them. With just a few twists, the screw can be easily removed. This makes nail clippers a convenient tool when you don’t have a proper screwdriver available.

4. Use nail clippers to remove shipping boxes

You can use the sharp end of the nail file attached to the nail clippers to cut the tape on the shipping boxes.
