Introduction
If you've ever taken a close look at your nail clipper, you might have noticed a small round hole near the edge of the blade. At first glance, it might seem like an odd feature with no apparent purpose, but this small detail actually serves a very important function. While the main use of a nail clipper is, of course, to trim nails, the tiny hole has a secret and powerful role that can make the tool even more versatile. In this article, we’ll explore the special uses of this often-overlooked feature and explain why it’s a game-changer for your nail care routine.

Instructions
Identify the small round hole:
Begin by examining your nail clipper closely. The small round hole is typically located at the back end of the top jaw of the clipper. It is often small, and unless you're looking for it, it can be easy to miss.
Use the hole to remove stubborn nail bits:
The primary function of the small round hole is to help you remove the small, stubborn bits of nail that may remain after clipping. After trimming your nails, place the clipped nail underneath the hole. Use the clipper's edges to push the clipped piece through the hole, which helps dislodge it from the clipper more easily.
Clean your clipper more efficiently:
This hole is also handy for cleaning out debris from the clipper itself. After using your clipper, you can run a cotton swab through the hole to clean out any nail clippings or residue that may be trapped inside. This makes the clipper easier to maintain and ensures hygiene.
Use it for precision clipping:
Some clippers feature a more refined small hole to assist with precision clipping, especially for manicures or pedicures that require more delicate trimming. This allows you to hold the clipper more securely and in a controlled manner for detailed cuts.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving Tip: While you can't exactly "serve" a nail clipper, you can make sure it’s used properly for maximum efficiency. When trimming your nails, ensure that they are clean and dry for a smoother clip. Regular use of the small round hole will help maintain cleanliness and function of your clipper.
Storage Tip: Keep your nail clipper in a dry, clean place to avoid any rusting or buildup. It’s a good idea to store it in a small case or pouch to protect it from dirt and debris. If possible, keep it in a place where it won’t be used for other purposes to avoid damaging the clipper.
