Ah! You’re talking about the tiny hole near the end of many nail clippers—the one that looks like it’s just decoration. There’s actually a practical purpose.
Hidden function of the small hole
-
Keychain attachment
-
You can thread a keyring or string through it to carry the clipper easily.
-
-
Nail file or lever tool
-
On some clippers, the hole lines up with the lever arm.
-
It can be used to hook the lever into place or as part of the clipper’s folding mechanism.
-
-
Pin insertion for extra leverage
-
On heavy-duty clippers, the hole is where a small pin fits, helping hold the clipper together and allow smooth motion.
-
Fun fact
-
Many people think it’s “just for decoration,” but it actually makes the clipper more portable and functional, especially for travel or attaching to a keychain.
If you want, I can also explain other nail clipper hacks and hidden functions that most people never notice—they’re surprisingly useful. Do you want me to do that?
