I'm sure I have it in a box somewhere, but paperclips open up SIM slots just as well as SIM tools do.

I have several, all in a big keyring. I used one of them once. So I keep them. One never knows.
I sequestered mine in a box of tarot cards so I couldn't lose it
I pinned one to my wall in my bedroom just in case
I had one of these hanging out in my bathroom for forever. The little fucker wouldn't just go away.
I've got plenty!
what is it?? never seen in my life
it's that little thingy that comes with new phones that opens the SIM card slot
Ive had them for a handful of different devices, but theyre typically used to push in the tiny hole for ejecting sim/data cards or manual resets
it's within my phone's protection case, so i do have it right now. Also, anecdote, a random stranger on a bus was switching sim cards, and asked me if I have the tool, which I indeed I had!
It's on my keychain
Sounds like a good way to stab yourself in the balls.
Im always looking for new opportunities
* AF
I tied a string around mine and threw it into one of those organiser boxes that's full of all sorts of other small items; it's there, I just need to remember exactly in which box (out of several dozen like this) it is.
I my keyring. Duh.
I got like 20 of these motherfuckers and one hanging around my neck.
we need a picture to appreciate
I have the round bit in my screwdriver set, the pointy bit broke off so I also now have a bent paperclip in there too.
I think I lost it within seconds of turning my phone on for the first time lol
Laughs in paper clip
It's in my phone repair kit XD
I still have my first smartphone. It's from 2011 and the screen is undamaged.
I also still have the extra plugs for the in-ear headphones that came with it.
ok sorry, right this way sir ==>
I keep one in my travel wire pouch thingy.
Probably, but it doesn't matter. A number of small improvised tools will do the same job.
One? Easely 10.
I do have one but don't know here is it in the sea of shit I have.
I have 3, 2 ovals and 1 circle.
I still have it and I bought backups
I found a pencil holder I had in the 1990s. It has these little drawers for erasers and stuff. I was like "oh cool, I can fill the rest of these with my SD cards and USB sticks."
So, while cleaning my desk looking for those, I found one of these. I was like "I'm pretty sure I had at least 2 of these." ...I found three.
It's good to finally get some recognition!
I just put it back in the box when I'm done
I have a stack of boxes in the closet, because I might need them someday
Yupppp; same here.
I think the Librem 5 (may've been another phone) came with a hole to attach to a keychain so it's the only one that I constantly have on me solely because someone thought to design for it.
Forbidden abortion tool
not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is
I have one... somewhere. Probably in a tiny box, mixed in with my random cables
I hate the random cable drawer, but I'm always pulling shit out of it cause I need something in there.
And that's why it can never go away. I keep mine in a box in a closet, but it's accessed multiple times a year. Hell, I just broke it out the other day for a VGA cable
I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.
If you’re using a burner SIM in your regular phone then it’s not really a burner SIM.
Fine if you’re just using it to hide your phone number companies, but if you’re hiding from the authorities then it’s the devices IMEI which is going to sell you out I’m afraid.
I have dumped like 30 of them into trash recently because I tend to sometimes replace/repair phone parts for people and if you buy a replacement part it comes with this thing.
smug look of superiority
Ah Fairphone 5 life
Same here, Sony Xperia
I threw all of those away. I have paper clips, and those eject holes are intentionally designed to be the width of a bent paper clip.
Those things are just a less useful paper clip.
They're easier to use, but a monotasker, so yea, gimme a paperclip
Or, you know, a hoarding problem…
I have one in my wallet - they are quite handy for cleaning lint out when the phone charging port inevitably collects enough to be annoying.
I have multiple. I keep the phone boxes after I buy a phone. I probably still have them for 3 or even all my 4 smartphones that I've owned over the years.
