You can also stick small clippers together by a small ring if you have two different ones for fingernails & toenails (or when you have clippers in different sizes). This ways, they’re concentrated and you won’t jumble them together.

Why Nail Clippers Were Designed This Way
The original nail clipper that we know was invented in the late 19th century, and has undergone a number of design updates to evolve into the modern tool we use today. Most cheapo clippers, however, have been doing this with that little round hole. Why? It’s not really about the enhanced durability, though, it’s more that it’s an easy, productive approach to portable play. The hole enables the clipper to be kept on a keychain or lanyard, a potent sign of functionality in an era before household bathrooms were widespread and people took their grooming implements with them, like wallets or handkerchiefs.
