I put mine on the keychain.... It's responsible for some small holes in my trousers pockets and I have been pricked too but worth it.

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

I have many of them. At least 4.

There's always the trusty toothpick

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

What kind of toothpick are you using? Most I have seen are way to fat or are to flexible.

I have plenty around the house. When I needed it, I still had to find something else to use because I had no idea where this was.

I've always just kept it in my case, against the back of my phone.

I am not responsible for most of the random stuff I own, but at least for that thing I found a good place. I keep it between the back of my phone and my phone case. I have to remove the case anyway to access the slot, and then it is just right there available.

Paper clip is better, these things are very flimsy, but also phones and Tablets don't always come with them.

I never kept mine and used a needle instead

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Mine are all still in their boxes which I still save for no reason as I never ever will use them. Whenever I need a pin, I can't find a single box, but the boxes are always in the way when I try to find something else. It's a weird world we live in.

I got a Sony Xperia III last month. You can use a fingernail with it since the tray also holds your SD card

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I have at least 6 in my office right now, and another 2 or 3 around my house, and one in my truck...

I will not be taking any questions at this point.

I keep mine in the same container with all my electronics screwdriver bits, seems like the sensible place for it to be

I scotch-taped it on my desk, I'm looking at it right now...

[–] Ozymati@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

I have two of those. One's from my old phone.

Same, I'll unpack any electrical item and keep all the packaging including the wire tiers on cords, plastic bags with the tape carefully folded back and pack all of that back up in the box and storage the empty box in my garage incase. I then use the item until it breaks and then 6 years later see the box on a shelf while walking passed, realise I no longer own said item and throw the box away.

Ifixit screwdrivers come with a bit for that.
