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

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I have like 3 πŸ˜… 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

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

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

Forbidden abortion tool

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

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

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

I keep one in my travel wire pouch thingy.

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

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

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

I stick them in a cork board.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 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 6 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.

No, I have OCD and everything has its spot

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

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 6 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!

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 6 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.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

One in my wallet at all times.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months 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.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 months 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.

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.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[–] InfinitiZEr0@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I still have my Oneplus 3 box with all the things it came with. I switched to Pixel 6A last year, because my mom dropped it and screen broke.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

More than one actually. I keep one stabbed into my computer desk most of the time

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 1 points 6 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).

[–] anonymous111@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

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

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

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

[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 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.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

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

[–] BluCypher@lemmy.world 1 points 6 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
