I threw all of those away. I have paper clips, and those eject holes are intentionally designed to be the width of a bent paper clip.

Those things are just a less useful paper clip.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago

They're easier to use, but a monotasker, so yea, gimme a paperclip

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.

[–] UdeRecife@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 17 hours ago

I have several, all in a big keyring. I used one of them once. So I keep them. One never knows.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How about just messy? Occasionally I still find them laying around

[–] Avg@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I keep it in my keychain, save the back up ones in the junk drawer.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

OP!!! RIGHT HERE!!!! I FOUND THE RESPONSIBLE AF PERSON!!!!

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 2 points 20 hours ago

I keep one in my travel wire pouch thingy.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I had one of these hanging out in my bathroom for forever. The little fucker wouldn't just go away.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago

I do have one but don't know here is it in the sea of shit I have.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have about 8 of those. I'm a fucking packrat

If you need any spares, let me know.

[–] ultrafastsloth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day 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.

[–] Spoilt@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Forbidden abortion tool

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I my keyring. Duh.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

It's in my phone repair kit XD

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What if I have three sitting on my desk right now?

[–] don@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

You could make a cool little Mitsubishi-like symbol/design with them

I have a bunch of them.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 20 hours ago

Probably, but it doesn't matter. A number of small improvised tools will do the same job.

[–] Metz@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

One? Easely 10.

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

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

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

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

I have 3, 2 ovals and 1 circle.

[–] Brian437@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

I still have it and I bought backups

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

I have one in my tech pouch

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I do have one but it is because I'm lazy and dont go through my shit. I am not responsible.

Mine is in my case with adapters & extra SD cards.

Where that case IS however, fuckin, no clue.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

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

Just replaced my phone so I know exactly where one is. I'm on eSIM tho, so doesn't really matter.

Two. I know exactly where they are.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I have it. I just don't know where it is.

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

I have a whole key ring of these.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

* AF

I tied a string around mine and threw it into one of those organiser boxes that's full of all sorts of other small items; it's there, I just need to remember exactly in which box (out of several dozen like this) it is.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope. I got a pack of Resetamatron 3000s off Amazon to take up space in my junk drawer.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 day ago

Resetamatron, hahaha.

I clicked... Dammit I didn't know I needed these.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

This is the main reason I buy paperclips. I've got some of these around but I'm not sure where.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

You can buy screw drivers with a zillion different "proprietary" bits for driving whatever thing. This is one of them.
