Reset Pin holder

Today's small electronic devices like cell phones often have a reset button hidden behind a tiny hole in the case. The user manual says something like, "straighten a paper clip and insert it into the hole for 15 seconds."

I got tired of straightening a clip each time, then trying to bend it back into shape afterward. Time for a permanent tool. This holder has a slot in one end for a partially straightened clip held in place with Amazing Goop.

Much better! The tool lives in a tray of paper clips that will never need to be straightened.

Note: This photo shows an actual reset pin from a cell phone, not a paper clip, in the slot.
