I have dumped like 30 of them into trash recently because I tend to sometimes replace/repair phone parts for people and if you buy a replacement part it comes with this thing.

Probably, but it doesn't matter. A number of small improvised tools will do the same job.
One? Easely 10.
I have about 8 of those. I'm a fucking packrat
If you need any spares, let me know.
I have one with a big duct tape flag/handle. Stays in the phone kit with spudgers, tiny screwdrivers, etc.
i'm just old and still have all the boxes all my phones came in. anyone need a poker for a blackberry curve?
I have 3, 2 ovals and 1 circle.
I still have it and I bought backups
I have a bunch of them.
I have multiple. I keep the phone boxes after I buy a phone. I probably still have them for 3 or even all my 4 smartphones that I've owned over the years.
I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years
I just tossed several. I have used them rarely but kept up with every one ever
What if I have three sitting on my desk right now?
You could make a cool little Mitsubishi-like symbol/design with them
Mine is in my case with adapters & extra SD cards.
Where that case IS however, fuckin, no clue.
I used to have it between my phone and phone case, but I gave it away to a family member in need as I have something better.
You know those tiny factory default buttons on various hardware? I have a homemade tool in my work backpack specifically for that - The thickest syringe needle my local pharmacy had in store, and I cut the end off. The protective sleeve made it fit perfectly in a pen holder in my work backpack.
I have one in my tech pouch
* AF
I tied a string around mine and threw it into one of those organiser boxes that's full of all sorts of other small items; it's there, I just need to remember exactly in which box (out of several dozen like this) it is.
I do have one but it is because I'm lazy and dont go through my shit. I am not responsible.
I have a draw with a box full of Luke 50 of these
Just replaced my phone so I know exactly where one is. I'm on eSIM tho, so doesn't really matter.
Two. I know exactly where they are.
I have it. I just don't know where it is.
I have a whole key ring of these.
This is the main reason I buy paperclips. I've got some of these around but I'm not sure where.
The ifixit toolkit has it - well with a hex shank.
But the last time i actually opened that hatch, i had to split a sliver off a wooden stick (coffee stirrer).
Nope. I got a pack of Resetamatron 3000s off Amazon to take up space in my junk drawer.
Resetamatron, hahaha.
I clicked... Dammit I didn't know I needed these.
I have like 3 😅 and I don't even need them cause my ifixit kit has one that's a screwdriver bit but I don't wanna throw them away lol
You can buy screw drivers with a zillion different "proprietary" bits for driving whatever thing. This is one of them.
Have one in my wallet, I change simcards often though, basically each new country.
I usually have one, but right now I have a paper clip with one side folded out 90° sitting in my wallet.
