Paperclip, bent staple, pushpin, breadboard wire, toothpick, 3D printer nozzle cleaner, 0000-sized cross head screwdriver, and stripped twist tie are all no match for the glorious sim tool.
I keep all useful tools. Even those crappy Allen wrench screwdrivers that come with cheap furniture.
I’ve met so many people who don’t own a single tool, and I always try to give them my extras I’ve been collecting.
Pro tip, I duct tape all the tools under whatever piece of furniture it came with. Just in case I ever need to tighten anything or whatever. I do have a tool kit with everything now but that wasn’t always the case.
I still use one from the first phone I had which needed this crap. So I have 3 of them in total. Actually, 4, I’ve got one extra in a screwdriver set.
I have one on my keychain, which is sometimes a huge pain in the thigh, the hand or the fabric of the jeans, but it’s worth it, because I use it like, every six months.
Yeah, I did that, until one day I was digging my keys out of a pocket and the prong ended embedded deep under my fingernail. Never again.
I got mine! Let me dig though my pile of empty boxes in a room I haven’t organized since I moved here like a year ago!
I just have an iFixit kit with a SIM ejector head included.
I don’t need that. My sim is accessible my removing the back cover and battery.
Showoff
You using a fairphone?
I cut a slit into the foam of my ifixit kit and stuck it in there.
But doesn’t the ifixit kit have a sim extractor bit?
But doesn’t the ifixit kit have a sim extractor bit?
Yes, it does.
Why would I keep track of something that can be replaced by a paper clip that costs a penny?
LPT: if you have a case on your phone, put it inside the case (between the case and phone) and you’ll always have it when you need it
Seems like a good way to scratch the phone, might just as well go crazy with a key on the back of the phone 😅
Been doing it for ~5 years with 0 scratches… If you have an iPhone maybe they are too delicate, but I also feel like iPhones (in the US at least) don’t have SIM cards since Apple has that G.I. Joe - Kung-Fu grip
I do the same and never had any scratches if the case fits snugly.
Broke my phone last week. Had mine on my keychain when the tech couldn’t find his quick enough.
Also keep mine on my keys… Well used to before children ripped it off… Need to get a new one
I have a bit set with one in it. Well, at least one that looks like it’s meant to be this. It works though.
Oh I 100% have one, if not several. I just don’t know the location of a single one.
I’ve been searching for a lost vape for about five days. Our place isn’t even that big and it’s pretty clean because my partner won’t stand for the sort of sloppiness that I get up to when no one polices me. And the vape is a hell of a lot larger.
How is it responsible to waste your life taking steps to keep track of worthless little objects of that size? If you need a thin poker use one of the many every day objects that takes the form of or includes a thin poker.
I don’t really see how tossing a thing that you might need later in a drawer and then remembering where it is counts as wasting your life.
Tossing in a drawer, definitely not. But keeping it in a place where you know where it is, will remember it, and it is definitely retrievable is different. Good luck finding that thing in a random drawer you are sure it’s in, much less a random drawer you are only kind of sure it’s in. Or if your life is such that each spot occupied in each drawer regardless of size and time of deposit is accounted for and retrievable, maybe that is just the standard I’m missing here.
What I’m saying is: I definitely have one or more of those in drawers or closets or boxes somewhere. Where, I do not know, and I could not retrieve one on command. But I could retrieve an implement to do its job. That the two things wind up being the same thing is an infinitesimal chance at best.
I dunno, mine’s right there. Although I think that one is from like 2 or 3 phones ago.
