Give your nail clippers a second life
Who hasn’t been caught off guard without a screwdriver or letter opener handy? Rather than panicking, know that your trusty nail clippers can become an emergency solution . A few simple steps are all it takes to turn them into a valuable ally in any situation.
The necessary equipment

Assembly of the components
Use the flat part of the nail clippers as a base. Insert the pre-bent wire into it to reinforce the assembly. If necessary, clamps can help hold everything securely in place.
