Most nail clippers have a tiny round hole near the lever—but why? Here’s what it’s actually designed for:
✔ Keychain Attachment – Many people don’t realize that the hole allows you to attach your nail clipper to a keyring, making it portable and easy to carry wherever you go. 🚗🛍️
✔ Lever Replacement Feature – If the clipper’s lever becomes loose or detached, you can use the hole to reattach it easily by aligning it properly and snapping it back into place. 🔄
✔ Filing & Smoothing Nails – Some nail clippers have a small built-in nail file hidden inside the lever, which you can access through the hole. This allows you to smooth rough edges after cutting your nails. 💅
✔ Mini Wire Cutter Alternative – Believe it or not, the sharp edge of nail clippers, when aligned with the hole, can be used to cut thin wires or fishing lines in an emergency! 🎣⚡
✔ Stripping Small Wires – The hole can act as a quick wire stripper for tiny cables when you don’t have proper tools on hand.
✔ Opening Packaging & Plastic Seals – The sharp edges near the hole can help cut through tough plastic seals or thin packaging, acting as a mini box opener. 📦✂️
