hole in your nail clipper

Okay, we’re not cooking here—but let’s break down the “parts” of a nail clipper:

  • Stainless steel or metal body
  • Lever for tension
  • Cutting blades
  • Tiny pin and hole (the mystery feature!)
  • Nail file (often attached)

Optional Additions
Some clippers come with:

  • Built-in nail catcher
  • Swivel head for better angles
  • Magnifying glass (for precision)
  • Keychain ring
  • Decorative handles or colors

Tips for Success

  • Keep your clippers clean to avoid bacteria buildup.
  • Cut nails after a shower—they’re softer and easier to trim.
  • Trim straight across to prevent ingrown nails.
  • Use the file to smooth edges and prevent snags.
  • Don’t ignore that tiny hole—it’s there for a reason!
