I have one with a big duct tape flag/handle. Stays in the phone kit with spudgers, tiny screwdrivers, etc.
i'm just old and still have all the boxes all my phones came in. anyone need a poker for a blackberry curve?
Yes, in my drawer of miscellaneous tiny things, next to pens, tiny screwdrivers, and a few old microsd cards.
I have dumped like 30 of them into trash recently because I tend to sometimes replace/repair phone parts for people and if you buy a replacement part it comes with this thing.
I keep one in my wallet along with a safety pin, hairpin, hair tie, and a twist key from an old fashioned roll top anchovy tin.
Any one of these things have come in handy a surprising number of times.
I can confirm that this is false
on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol
I'm sure I have it in a box somewhere, but paperclips open up SIM slots just as well as SIM tools do.
I have a bunch of them.
I bought a multi tool that has one of these built in.
I keep one in my keychain for the random instances I need one, especially when I'm away from home.
It's come in handy more than I thought it would.
I have it. I just don't know where it is.
I have one in my wallet and one on my keychain.
I sequestered mine in a box of tarot cards so I couldn't lose it
I used to have it between my phone and phone case, but I gave it away to a family member in need as I have something better.
You know those tiny factory default buttons on various hardware? I have a homemade tool in my work backpack specifically for that - The thickest syringe needle my local pharmacy had in store, and I cut the end off. The protective sleeve made it fit perfectly in a pen holder in my work backpack.
I've got plenty!
You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.
So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?
A paperclip works fine.
Two. I know exactly where they are.
Why thank you.
As foretold 🙏
I just tossed several. I have used them rarely but kept up with every one ever
Ive always just used a hair pick when I cant find it 😂
I have two, and I know exactly where they are. If GPS were more accurate, I could give you the GPS coordinates for each of them.
tied it around my keychain because SIMs are still much more handy than esim. Phone service where I live charge a fuck ton of money everytime you re register with the QR.
I have multiple. I keep the phone boxes after I buy a phone. I probably still have them for 3 or even all my 4 smartphones that I've owned over the years.
Lies and slander. I have several, specifically because I am not responsible and lose things often.
Forbidden abortion tool
I have the round bit in my screwdriver set, the pointy bit broke off so I also now have a bent paperclip in there too.
I think I lost it within seconds of turning my phone on for the first time lol
I have like 3 😅 and I don't even need them cause my ifixit kit has one that's a screwdriver bit but I don't wanna throw them away lol
I am the distributor of cell phones where I work. I have a box of these. They’re also useful to reset UniFi and other networking equipment.
You can buy screw drivers with a zillion different "proprietary" bits for driving whatever thing. This is one of them.
I usually have one, but right now I have a paper clip with one side folded out 90° sitting in my wallet.
