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

what is it?? never seen in my life

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days 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

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

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days 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!

[–] toastmeister@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

In an electronics tool kit.

Mostly because the only time recall using that specific tool was when I got my Pixel 8, and that was shortly after release, so its been a minute.

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

oof yeah wow they're on what, the pixel 9 now? That was ages ago.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

No, I have OCD and everything has its spot

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

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 2 points 6 days ago

I keep one in my travel wire pouch thingy.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I stick them in a cork board.

[–] MSugarhill@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Multiple ones.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] SnortsGarlicPowder@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days 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.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I still have the box for my phone with the SIM remover still in it lol

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Yep, used it immediately to put the sim card in and then put it back in the box.

[–] Spoilt@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Forbidden abortion tool

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days 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

[–] kworpy@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

It's the tool that you use to open the SD/sim card slot on phones.

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I got two ifixit kits and that's all I need, even though I stopped repairing the phone and just trade in every three years.

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

I use it as an embroidery tool instead.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

I used to work for a cell phone "fixer" place. The quotations are because the hardware and software on iPhones is so locked down. Usually we would get iPhones that broke in a way that was out of warranty. Their warranty sucks. You will pay for your iPhone until it dies. Then you will pay for a new one. Android based devices followed suit. Neither had this problem starting out.

[–] UdeRecife@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 6 days ago

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

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I my keyring. Duh.

[–] CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

I have one sitting on my fireplace mantle in a little dish. It's there to pop our Arlo doorbell off when it needs to come inside to charge.

[–] DimFisher@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Oh really? I didnt know that, yes I still do and it's only one I have

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

It's in my phone repair kit XD
