Some clippers include a second hole or slit to fit over a small peg on the base—this keeps the lever more securely locked in place. Others may use the hole purely for aesthetic balance or lightweight design, particularly in minimalist models.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use the hole to hang the clipper?
A: Yes! Many people attach their clippers to keychains, bathroom hooks, or grooming kits via the hole.
Q: Is the hole necessary for the clipper to function?
A: Mechanically, yes—it's part of the design that enables the lever to pivot and apply pressure effectively.
Q: Why are there holes in some levers but not others?
A: Cheaper or ultra-compact clippers may forgo the hole and use alternative tension systems. But the classic round hole design is both practical and time-tested.
