Why That Hole Exists
The hole is actually meant for attaching the lever to the clipper base using a small pin. But beyond assembly, it serves another clever function: it allows the clipper lever to be turned into a mini nail file handle or even attached to a keychain for portability.
Many traditional clippers come with a removable lever. By using the hole, you can hook the clipper onto a string, chain, or keyring, making it easy to carry or store. In older designs, it even helped align the lever perfectly with the cutting edges, ensuring smooth operation.
