    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

    I keep one in my wallet along with a safety pin, hairpin, hair tie, and a twist key from an old fashioned roll top anchovy tin.

    Any one of these things have come in handy a surprising number of times.

    tied it around my keychain because SIMs are still much more handy than esim. Phone service where I live charge a fuck ton of money everytime you re register with the QR.

        its not really changing sim but more like changing phone. I have the big S24 Ultra but sometimes I just want something smaller and easier to carry, so I swap to a Zenfone 10.

    Yeah. I have a Nintendo DS game box (still with the original game) where I keep such tiny things. Including various SD card adapters.

    I am the distributor of cell phones where I work. I have a box of these. They’re also useful to reset UniFi and other networking equipment.

    The ones I have seen most recently are so thin and flimsy that they are worse at the job than a paperclip.

    I usually find my thinnest allen wrench and use that.
