Nail Clipper with the Hole
It\u2019s easy to attach your nail clipper to a\u2002keychain via that tiny hole, and it takes about a minute. Here\u2019s how you can do it:
A Small Key Ring: Surely you have a key ring lying around with a little metal\u2002ring you can open. You\u2019ll need one that\u2019s narrow enough to fit through the hole in\u2002the clipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pass the Ring Through the Hole: Slowly untwist the\u2002ring and thread it through the hole of the clippers. The hole is a perfect fit\u2002for a standard key ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All while\u2002keeping nail clipper within reach and you never have to ask \u201cWhere the heck did I put my nail clipper?\u201d dilemma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hang It for Easy Access<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re the type of person who\u2019s good at losing small items,\u2002hang your nail clipper on a tiny hook through the hole. Whether it\u2019s on your bathroom counter, by your sink or tucked away in a drawer, this is an\u2002ideal way to keep it by your side and easy to find.
Use for Extra Leverage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slipping a finger or pinky through the hole can help stabilize the clipper, for some, particularly if the clipper feels too small or too slippery in their\u2002hands. It is not officially an official use,\u2002but if it works, why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Group Clippers Together<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also stick small clippers together by a small ring if you have two\u2002different ones for fingernails & toenails (or when you have clippers in different sizes). This ways, they\u2019re concentrated and you won\u2019t jumble them\u2002together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Nail Clippers Were Designed This Way
The original\u2002nail clipper that we know was invented in the late 19th century, and has undergone a number of design updates to evolve into the modern tool we use today. Most cheapo clippers, however, have been doing this\u2002with that little round hole. Why? It\u2019s not really\u2002about the enhanced durability, though, it\u2019s more that it\u2019s an easy, productive approach to portable play. The hole enables the clipper to be kept on a keychain or lanyard, a potent sign of functionality in an era before household bathrooms were widespread and people took their\u2002grooming implements with them, like wallets or handkerchiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nail Clippers
Nail clippers are one of those things we barely give a second thought. But when you start looking, it\u2019s\u2002hard to miss how much range you have to choose. Some clippers are\u2002equipped with nail files, and others come with bottle openers or small knives when included in a multi-tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a tiny thing,\u2002the nail clipper, but believe it or not, you can\u2019t do much better than this in the design and versatility department. The hole in the handle is just a tiny detail that makes\u2002it that much more useful. Grandpa was quite impressed when I explained to him all of this.
Many of us may not have given much thought to that small\u2002round hole on the nail clipper, which is understandable, because come on it\u2019s just a nail clipper. But as with so much in life, the little things can end up mattering a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
