Paper clips make fine tools. Not only do they clip paper, they can be used in a myriad of ways. On the early iMacs that my family owned, they crashed a lot. The off button never overrode the crash. Instead, there was a little hole on the side of the computer that restarted it. We used to take a paper clip, bend it so that one of the pointed ends would reach this switch, and this restarted the iMac. It was a pain, but this was the main use of paper clips for us.
I rarely used this silver tool for its intended purpose. Other than being a computer fixing tool, I only use it as a distraction when I'm bored. I see if the end of my finger can be squeezed under it. Often it can. Then I see how long it can cut off the blood flow before my finger becomes too numb for it to be a novelty anymore. I guess I am a masochist
