I fixed a small coffee grinder with one. The plastic lid had an integrated tab that pressed down on a recessed button to turn the grinder on. The plastic tab eventually got fatigued and broke off, so I cut a saw kerf into the side of the lid and pressed a toothpick into the kerf. Now the toothpick pushes the recessed button and the grinder works perfectly. This fix was done about 15 years ago, and the grinder is still going strong.
