I can confirm that this is false

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I have like four or five of these.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I taped mine inside the cell phone case.

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?

I have mine under my phone cover. Got sick of losing them all the time when I needed one. Since I put it under the cover, I've only needed it about two times. (Under my cover for over a year).

[–] ultrafastsloth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] midori_matcha@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I have a small zip bag of 100+ of these in a drawer. Sometimes you gotta pop out a SIM card. Other times you gotta hit a pinhole reset button to fix a rogue router. In a pinch, they're also a good shiv or shank.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I'm sure I have it in a box somewhere, but paperclips open up SIM slots just as well as SIM tools do.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I have a bunch of them.

Sounds like a good way to stab yourself in the balls.

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.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

A paperclip works fine.

I have a draw with a box full of Luke 50 of these

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have one in my wallet and one on my keychain.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just tossed several. I have used them rarely but kept up with every one ever

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Lies and slander. I have several, specifically because I am not responsible and lose things often.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Why thank you.

[–] loomy@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

false ; I bought a 50 pack

[–] jagungal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Planning ahead? Sounds pretty responsible to me

I bought a multi tool that has one of these built in.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have a whole key ring of these.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I have some smart devices that came with these so I appear very responsible.

[–] XnxCuX@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ive always just used a hair pick when I cant find it 😂

[–] Afflictedlife@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I sequestered mine in a box of tarot cards so I couldn't lose it

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] SnortsGarlicPowder@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've got plenty!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I think I lost it within seconds of turning my phone on for the first time lol

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Two. I know exactly where they are.

[–] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

As foretold 🙏

[–] silverlightBeing@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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.
