The “small round hole” on the nail clipper has special and powerful uses!!

2. Bend or Shape Wire with Ease
Need to bend a stiff wire—like a paperclip, twist tie, or craft wire—but don’t want to hurt your fingers? Insert the wire into the round hole, then use the clipper as a lever. The metal frame gives you leverage and control, so you can shape the wire with minimal effort—without risking cuts or sore fingertips.

This trick is especially handy for DIY projects, jewelry making, or even straightening bent earring posts.

3. Use the Metal Tab as a Mini Screwdriver
Many nail clippers include a small, flat metal file or blade attached near the hinge. While it’s often used to clean under nails, its rigid, narrow edge also works as an impromptu flathead screwdriver for tiny screws—like those in eyeglass frames, electronics, or small household fixtures.

Just press the edge into the screw head and gently turn. It won’t replace a full toolkit, but in a pinch, it can save you from frustration (and a trip to the hardware store).
