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.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I just tossed several. I have used them rarely but kept up with every one ever

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Just replaced my phone so I know exactly where one is. I'm on eSIM tho, so doesn't really matter.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I have a draw with a box full of Luke 50 of these

I used to have it between my phone and phone case, but I gave it away to a family member in need as I have something better.

You know those tiny factory default buttons on various hardware? I have a homemade tool in my work backpack specifically for that - The thickest syringe needle my local pharmacy had in store, and I cut the end off. The protective sleeve made it fit perfectly in a pen holder in my work backpack.

I pinned one to my wall in my bedroom just in case

Forbidden abortion tool

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 2 points 3 months ago

I keep one in my travel wire pouch thingy.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

One in my wallet at all times.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Absolutely not, lol; It's the opposite. I have a keychain one that I'm too lazy to remove. And it actually twists and gets caught in the holes on adjacent keys, so it's not like I never notice it!

Nope. I got a pack of Resetamatron 3000s off Amazon to take up space in my junk drawer.

I am the distributor of cell phones where I work. I have a box of these. They’re also useful to reset UniFi and other networking equipment.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I have like 3 😅 and I don't even need them cause my ifixit kit has one that's a screwdriver bit but I don't wanna throw them away lol

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I do have one but it is because I'm lazy and dont go through my shit. I am not responsible.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

The ones I have seen most recently are so thin and flimsy that they are worse at the job than a paperclip.

I usually find my thinnest allen wrench and use that.

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

No, I have OCD and everything has its spot

[–] MSugarhill@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Multiple ones.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In an electronics tool kit.

Mostly because the only time recall using that specific tool was when I got my Pixel 8, and that was shortly after release, so its been a minute.

I stick them in a cork board.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

I do have one but don't know here is it in the sea of shit I have.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

I usually have one, but right now I have a paper clip with one side folded out 90° sitting in my wallet.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I still have the box for my phone with the SIM remover still in it lol

I keep one in my keychain for the random instances I need one, especially when I'm away from home.

It's come in handy more than I thought it would.

I've got at least 2 on my desk. Both from my new phones ( the one I accidentally fried in a lake and the replacement I got ). They're both connected to some little piece of magnet strip that I have no idea where it came from.

[–] toastmeister@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I switch phone plans every few years, and I have no idea how esims work, so yes.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Inside my phone case. Only makes sense to keep it with the phone.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

You can buy screw drivers with a zillion different "proprietary" bits for driving whatever thing. This is one of them.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Mine is in my case with adapters & extra SD cards.

Where that case IS however, fuckin, no clue.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I probably have like 3 or 4

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

A bunch, but the cherry is taken by a dedicated SIM ejection tool bit in my IFixIt kit.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 3 months ago

Probably, but it doesn't matter. A number of small improvised tools will do the same job.
