hihellobyeoh,

I don’t have mine, but I kind of do, most bit sets for electronics include a bit for Sim card ejectors.

CafecitoHippo,

Have mine sitting in a dish on my desk right in front of me. It’s what I use to pop off our Arlo doorbell to bring inside to charge it back up when the batteries are low.

Nacktmull,

Now what is that?

SIM tray opener tool for smartphones. It’s pretty small

Randomocity,

It’s a tool to remove the SIM card from a phone

It’s a contraceptive device.

As someone who carries one everywhere, I can vouch for its effectiveness

You need one of these to swap out sim cards on mobile devices

tigerjerusalem,

I just realized that each phone comes with one and only one of SIM ejectors, and I have a lot of those in my drawer. I think I have a problem. -_-

adespoton,

Me too… and my phone uses an eSIM!

radioactiveradio,

You’re responsible for everything!!!

Most screw-driver kits like the IFixIt kits, include a sim-eject head.

GeneralVincent,

The chosen one!

iFIXIT kits include a bit that lets you eject sim trays

ky56,

Good. I don’t like sim trays. They’re small and flimsy and irritating and are easily lost. Not like here. Here everything is built-in and solid.

wigit,

In my last two phones I have used eSIM, but I still have 6 of these in a neat row on a magnet above my desk.

Mine are all still in their boxes which I still save for no reason as I never ever will use them. Whenever I need a pin, I can’t find a single box, but the boxes are always in the way when I try to find something else. It’s a weird world we live in.

I do tech support, I always have one on my keychain.

skqweezy,

Ngl that’s pretty smart to keep one on a keychain, better than keeping it in the original box

hdgdlfiuebdtus, (edited )

I’ll adapt the keychain thing

shiveyarbles,

I would manage to jab tf out of myself

I used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.

In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven’t done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven’t even thought about that until this post, actually.

The dude who sold me my latest smartphone this year had one long fingernail. I kinda thought it was a coke nail until he applied my screen protector and used the nail to separate the plastic backing from it. Aha!

I studied classical guitar in high school and since I could never keep my real fingernails intact I always had three plastic nails going on my right hand. That was a tough one to explain to the local bullies.

ILikeBoobies,

For taking SIM cards out of phones

@callyral@pawb.social avatar

tigeruppercut,

disorganized paperclip gang sound off!

meowMix2525,

nope, just a hoarder :)

Selmafudd,

Same, I’ll unpack any electrical item and keep all the packaging including the wire tiers on cords, plastic bags with the tape carefully folded back and pack all of that back up in the box and storage the empty box in my garage incase. I then use the item until it breaks and then 6 years later see the box on a shelf while walking passed, realise I no longer own said item and throw the box away.

Are you me?

grayman,

Phew… I was hoping I wasn’t the only person with like 17 of these.

flop_leash_973,

I have something like 100 of these in a draw in my home office. Along with a straightened paperclip as a backup.

affiliate,

i have s few dozen straightened paper clips and then a couple of those hidden away for the particularly stubborn sim trays

CADmonkey,

I have an entire kit for tinkering with phones, and this is one of the tools it includes.

onion,

iFixit Pro Tech Tool Kit spotted

CADmonkey,

I don’t think it is, it’s just some generic kit I bought when I needed little screwdrivers.

JerrySmith,

I’ve always liked the ones that come with OnePlus phones. Can’t link (?) but they look like long smiley faces.

I’ve lost them before I’ve even used them.
