The small round hole near the hinge or handle of some nail clippers can have a practical purpose—but it depends on the clipper design.
Most commonly, it is a manufacturing/assembly feature or part of the lever mechanism, rather than a secret tool for sharpening or cutting something else. On certain designs, holes can also provide a place to attach the clipper to a keychain or grooming set.
So if you’ve seen a viral claim saying the hole has one specific “surprising” function, be cautious—the purpose isn’t universal across all nail clippers.
If you show me a photo of the nail clipper and the hole you’re referring to, I can identify exactly what it is for.
