Nail clippers are common tools for grooming, but that tiny round hole near the end often goes unnoticed. It turns out, this small feature can serve a few smart and handy purposes beyond nail care.
1. Keychain Attachment
The hole is perfect for attaching your nail clippers to a keychain. This keeps them secure and always within reach. It’s sturdier than using the small metal chain some clippers come with, which can break easily. Just loop the keyring through the hole and you’re good to go.
2. Wire Bender & Screwdriver Substitute
Insert a wire through the hole to bend it safely without hurting your fingers. It gives you better grip and control. Also, the small metal file attached to many clippers can double as a mini screwdriver for small screws when other tools aren’t available.
3. Box Opener
Use the pointed tip of the nail file to slice through tape on packages. It’s sharp enough to cut cleanly without damaging what’s inside—handy when you can’t find scissors or a box cutter.
