The solution: Insert the tip of another nail clipper (or a small screwdriver, paperclip, or pin) into the hole. Gently bend the misaligned blade back into place.
Why it works: The hole provides a secure point of leverage. Without it, you’d be trying to bend the blade with your fingers—which is difficult and imprecise.
Pro tip: Go slowly. Small adjustments are better than large ones. Test the clipper on a piece of cardboard or a fake nail before using it on your actual nails.
