Ah! You’re talking about the little pointy stick or file at the end of some nail clippers, often overlooked. 😄
That tiny tool actually has a specific purpose:
- Cleaning under nails – It can gently scrape dirt from under your fingernails or toenails.
- Picking small items – Some people use it to remove small bits of debris or even open tiny things like splinters (carefully!).
- Filing edges – On some clippers, it doubles as a mini nail file for smoothing rough edges.
It’s basically a multi-tool hidden in your nail clipper. Most people never notice it!
If you want, I can explain how to use it safely without hurting your nails or skin, because it can be easy to poke yourself. Do you want me to?
