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

not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is

Or, you know, a hoarding problem…

Laughs in paper clip

It's good to finally get some recognition!

I keep one in my wallet.

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!

How about just messy? Occasionally I still find them laying around

I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.

I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.

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.

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 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.

I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one

Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these

My kit:

I generally prefer the clear toothpick - easier to hold, came with a designer cupcake once (and I keep the flag on it because it's otherwise easy to lose a clear toothpick), generally better if the button is deeply recessed.

The paperclip phone tool is kept on the keychain between the USB micro card reader and the wallet sized SD card holder

smug look of superiority

Ah Fairphone 5 life

"Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector"

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

I have one... somewhere. Probably in a tiny box, mixed in with my random cables

I have about 8 of those. I'm a fucking packrat

or a hoarder

Raz keeps track of mine

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.

I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P

Yes, I keep them in the box.

I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years

What if I have three sitting on my desk right now?

Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though

I still have like eight of those. I bought some smart devices a while ago that all had them for the reset hole, so I’m stocked up for life.

on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol

Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story

I have one with a big duct tape flag/handle. Stays in the phone kit with spudgers, tiny screwdrivers, etc.

I have one in my tech pouch

You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.

So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?
