Use a wire cutter instead of pliers
Almost all clippers have a hole for a chain or ring. It can be used to bend wire. It is inserted into the hole, and the cutters are used as a lever for bending. You can bend the wire at any angle, and also form a ring out of it.
Stripper: stripping wires from insulation
When performing electrical installation work, you can use a clipper to remove the insulation. To do this, you need to press it, remove the lever and rivet.
The remainder is used to remove insulation. The wire cutters squeeze the wire until they cut through the sheath. After that, they turn to cut it in a circle.Then, without opening them, you need to pull them to the side along with the cut insulation. You can get the hang of doing this without scratching the conductive core, equating the quality of removal to that of a professional stripper.
As a screwdriver: tightening screws and screws
If you need to tighten or unscrew a screw, but do not have a screwdriver at hand, you can use the tip on the nail clipper instead. It is not available on all cutters, but if it is, it helps in many cases.
Seed cracking tool
Nippers can be used to crack large seeds. To do this, the seed is placed behind the blades closer to the rivet, and the clipper is compressed until the characteristic crack of the shell. It’s easier to use than husking by hand, and your fingertips don’t hurt afterwards.
Stand for mosquito coil
You can place an anti-mosquito coil on the tip of the nail file of the laid out nippers, which is moved upward. If there is no nail file, then a piece of the spiral is inserted vertically into the tongs.
Trimming nails and collecting clippings
Although the clipper is intended for cutting nails, it is rarely used due to the scattering of cuttings, especially indoors. If you stick pieces of tape on the sides of its blades, then the cut nails will remain inside, and then you can shake them out.
Parcel and box opener
Cardboard boxes sealed with tape can be opened with the tip of a nail clipper. Unlike a knife, it is not sharpened, so it will not cut through the cardboard or damage the contents of the box.
