Nail clippers are a common tool found in every household. Most people use them to trim their nails or cut thread ends. They are very practical and handy. But have you ever noticed the small round hole at the end of some nail clippers?
Many people don’t know what it’s for. I just found out today that this “small round hole” has a really clever hidden use. After learning about it, you’ll want to try it out yourself. Let’s explore its uses.
1. Nail Clippers as a Keychain
Did you know you can attach your nail clippers to a keychain using that small round hole? This way, your nail clippers will hang securely with your keys. As long as you don’t lose the whole bunch of keys, your nail clippers will always be there.
Some nail clippers even come with a small chain attached to the hole. But if you use a keychain directly, it will be much stronger and less likely to fall off.
2. Bending Wires
Another clever use for the small round hole is bending wires. By inserting a wire into the hole, you can easily shape it as needed. This method requires only a small amount of force and is safer for your fingers. Instead of risking a scratch by using your hands, next time you need to bend a wire, try using your nail clippers.
3. Using Nail Clippers as a Screwdriver
The small iron sheet near the hole, often used to clean under your nails, can also double as a screwdriver. For tiny screws that you might not have the right tool for at home, this small iron sheet works perfectly.
Just a few turns and the screw comes loose. It’s a handy trick for those moments when you need to remove small screws but don’t have the proper screwdriver.
4. Opening Shipping Boxes
You can also use the sharp end of the nail file attached to your nail clippers to cut the tape on shipping boxes. It’s a convenient way to open packages without searching for scissors or a knife.
