Why Does Your Nail Clipper Have
That tiny hole on your nail clipper isn’t just decoration—it has a real purpose.
The hole is designed so you can attach the clipper to a keychain,
lanyard, or small metal ring, making it easier to keep track of.
Instead of digging through drawers to find it, you can keep your clipper right next to your keys or on a small hook.
Using it is simple: thread a small key ring through the hole, then attach the ring wherever you want.
This turns your clipper into a portable everyday tool.
The hole also has a few extra uses. You can hang the clipper for easy access,
slip a finger through the hole for a steadier grip, or keep multiple clippers together on one ring.
This small design feature has existed since the late 19th century, when people carried grooming tools with them daily.
Even today, that tiny hole helps keep nail clippers practical, organized, and easy to use.
