Nail clippers are found in every household. We usually use them to trim nails or cut thread ends because they are practical tools. But did you know that some nail clippers have a small round hole at the end? Have you ever wondered what it’s for?
Many people don’t know, but I just learned about it today. The hidden use of the small round hole at the end of the nail clipper is really clever. Once you know about it, you’ll want to try it out. Let’s see what it’s for!
- Nail Clippers for a Keychain
You can put a keychain through the small hole in the nail clipper. This way, the nail clipper will hang securely on your keychain. It won’t fall off unless you lose the whole bunch of keys. Some nail clippers even come with a small chain attached to the hole. If you use this small chain to attach the keychain, it might fall off easily. So, it’s better to directly use the keychain to fasten the nail clipper. This way, it will be very strong, and the nail clippers will stay put.
- Bending Wire
You can use the small round hole to bend wire into the shape you want. Just insert the wire into the hole and apply a little force. This method makes it easy to bend the wire without hurting your fingers. Sometimes, when we try to bend wire with our fingers, we might scratch ourselves. Next time you need to bend wire, use a nail clipper to help. It’s a simple and practical solution.
- Use Nail Clippers as a Screwdriver
The small iron file attached to the nail clippers is usually used to clean the dirt from under your nails. But you can also use it as a screwdriver for small screws. If you don’t have a small screwdriver at home, you can use the nail clipper’s iron file to unscrew the screw. After a few turns, the screw will come out easily. This is handy when you need to remove small screws but don’t have the right tool.
- Opening Shipping Boxes
You can use the sharp end of the nail file attached to the nail clippers to cut the tape on shipping boxes. This is a quick and easy way to open boxes without needing a knife or scissors.
