Travel kit
Thread a mini carabiner through the hole; clip to toiletry bag zipper pull
Leverage aid
Insert pinky finger through hole for better grip (helpful for arthritis or slippery hands)
Child safety
Attach clipper to a fixed object with a short cord—prevents swallowing hazard for toddlers
⚠️ Caution: Don’t hang heavy items from the hole—it’s not load-bearing. And never force thick rings through—it can bend the metal and misalign the blades.
🔬 Why Some Clippers Have Two Holes
Ever noticed clippers with holes in both handles? That’s usually for symmetrical manufacturing—not extra functionality. Die-casting machines often require balanced venting on both sides of the mold. The second hole serves the same gas-release purpose as the first.
