The designer of a multi-purpose hair clip said he was inspired by his Jewish friends who wear hair pins to hold in place their kippot, also known as yarmulkes or skullcaps, the UK’s Daily Mail reported on Monday. Tel Aviv native Yaacov Goldberg, who designed the MTA stainless steel clip, said his Jewish friends often used their hair pins as tools to open boxes or unscrew items, so he decided to create a hair accessory that also serves as a multi-functional, miniature tool…Goldberg’s MTA clip, which sells online for $9.99, features a screwdriver, an 8 mm wrench, a ruler, a nail file, a trolley coin, a bottle opener and a serrated knife. He said the knife can cut “all sorts, from fruit to rope,” but assured users it won’t cut their hair.
