Multiple ones.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

Absolutely not, lol; It's the opposite. I have a keychain one that I'm too lazy to remove. And it actually twists and gets caught in the holes on adjacent keys, so it's not like I never notice it!

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

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

[–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

The ones I have seen most recently are so thin and flimsy that they are worse at the job than a paperclip.

I usually find my thinnest allen wrench and use that.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I stick them in a cork board.

[–] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I've got at least 2 on my desk. Both from my new phones ( the one I accidentally fried in a lake and the replacement I got ). They're both connected to some little piece of magnet strip that I have no idea where it came from.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I usually have one, but right now I have a paper clip with one side folded out 90° sitting in my wallet.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

One in my wallet at all times.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did that until it left a hole in my thigh. Now I have one in my desk drawer and center console.

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.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.

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

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

I pinned one to my wall in my bedroom just in case

[–] toastmeister@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I switch phone plans every few years, and I have no idea how esims work, so yes.

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No, I have OCD and everything has its spot

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (5 children)

what is it?? never seen in my life

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Ive had them for a handful of different devices, but theyre typically used to push in the tiny hole for ejecting sim/data cards or manual resets

One? Easely 10.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

It's in my phone repair kit XD

[–] mrmule@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Have one in my wallet, I change simcards often though, basically each new country.

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago

The ifixit toolkit has it - well with a hex shank.

But the last time i actually opened that hatch, i had to split a sliver off a wooden stick (coffee stirrer).

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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

Where that case IS however, fuckin, no clue.

[–] Brian437@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I still have it and I bought backups

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I have 3, 2 ovals and 1 circle.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I my keyring. Duh.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] UdeRecife@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

A bunch, but the cherry is taken by a dedicated SIM ejection tool bit in my IFixIt kit.

[–] anonymous111@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Taped mine to the back of my phone, hidden by the case.

[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago

Yep its not hard to keep around. How are people losing em just put it in the right place after you’re done using it.

[–] BluCypher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I feel like everyone’s missing the joke here. That’s not the normal sim pen ejector tool. That’s the liquid metal one that they only made for like a year or two
