Nail clippers are everyday tools that most of us use without a second thought. However, have you ever noticed the small round hole at the base of the lever on your nail clipper? While it may seem like a trivial design element, this tiny feature serves several purposes that many people are unaware of.
- Keychain or Lanyard Attachment
The primary purpose of the small round hole is for attaching the nail clipper to a keychain or lanyard. This feature is particularly useful for those who want to carry their clippers while traveling or keep them handy at all times. It ensures the clipper remains accessible and reduces the risk of misplacing it.
- Added Grip During Use
The hole also provides a tactile point of grip for your fingers when using the clipper. When applying pressure, the hole adds slight friction, preventing your fingers from slipping on the smooth surface of the lever.
- Threading and Multi-Purpose Utility
Creative users have found additional uses for the hole. For instance, it can be used to thread a small string or wire, turning the clipper into a makeshift tool for emergencies. Some people use the hole to pull fishing lines, small cords, or other fine materials when in a pinch.
