But having nail clippers in the house when there’s children around can be worrying for parents.
So it’s understandable people have been blown away by a simple trick that turns the clippers to “safe mode”.
In a video on TikTok, a man demonstrated the hack, as he pushed up the top lever towards the bolt.
By doing so, the sharp “mouth” of the clippers locked shut.
He then opened the clippers once again by shunting the level down.
People quickly took to the comments section to weigh in on the hack, with one writing: “I was 40 years old when I learned….”
“Brooooooo, it works! 50 just learning this,” another commented.
As a third raged: “Whaaaat!!!! No waaaay….”
“I was 33 years old when I found this out!!!!!!” someone else said.
“I just tried this and yes it’s true !!” another raved.
While someone else commented: “I ran straight to the bathroom to try this. it worked.”
“you telling me for 40 years of hiding them from my kids I could have been doing this haaaaaa,” another said.
However, others insisted they’ve been using the hack for years.
“I knew this one,” one wrote.
“I would always have to lock it because my nephew would get everything.”
“Lol – man I knew this since I was 10,” another commented.
“I know this. do it all the time with mine,” a third said.
While someone else wrote: “Did people not know? I learned this from my mum.”
