3. Use nail clippers as a mini screwdriver
Many nail clippers include a small metal file or cleaning piece near the round hole. While it’s usually meant for cleaning under nails, it can double as a makeshift screwdriver. For small screws—like those on toys, glasses, or battery covers—this tool can work surprisingly well when a proper screwdriver isn’t nearby.
4. Open packages and shipping boxes
The pointed edge of the attached nail file is sharp enough to slice through packing tape. Instead of searching for scissors or a box cutter, you can quickly open packages using your nail clippers, making them a handy multitasking tool to keep around.
Sometimes, the most useful features are hiding in plain sight. That tiny hole in your nail clippers proves that even simple tools can be more versatile than they seem.
