But 3½-inch floppies didn’t have notches…they had the slide tab thing.

How is this an improvement over nail clippers?

I actually plan to put it next to my 3 1/2″ floppy notcher when I am done with it.

Can it cut a notch so I can use both sides of the SIM card like the old 5 1/4″ floppy notching devices it sort of resembles?

Regular SIM to micro SIM cutters have been around for years. This just cuts even smaller to conform to nano SIM standards.

If you have T-Mobile, I hear they will just give you a new SIM card if you ask…

I have one of these. I actually bought it for the plastic adapters. (I have five phones I rotate between.) The plastic adapters are REALLY cheap. You will want a file to file off the excess plastic. They are also hard to insert into the phone without the sim card slipping.

Worth getting if you do a lot on migration between phones. Not certain what you would use the punch for once you cut down your sim card.

BTW, T-Mobile will convert you from a full sized sim to the mini just by asking at one of the T-Mobile stores. (They don’t charge for it either.) Easier than risking a mis-cut.
