Why This Feature Went Unnoticed by Many
Let’s be honest — most of us never read the manual for a nail clipper (if it even comes with one). We just use it the way we saw our parents or siblings do. That tiny hole seemed unnecessary unless we were trying to clean the clipper or play with it out of boredom.
But once you understand its function, it adds a new layer of appreciation for this small yet cleverly designed everyday tool.
FAQs
Q1: Can I really use the hole to attach the clipper to my keychain?
A: Yes! That’s one of the main reasons it’s there. It makes it portable and easy to find.
Q2: Do all nail clippers have this hole?
A: Most standard metal clippers do, especially traditional designs. Some fancy or modern versions may skip it.
Q3: Is the hole connected to the nail file?
A: In many designs, yes. The lever that contains the hole often doubles as a nail file.
Q4: Can I use a pin to open that flap using the hole?
A: Absolutely. If your nails are short or weak, the hole can help you lift the lever more easily.
