Default Gotta Love Harbor Freight!

What a store! Those great alligator clips, the suction cup ruler holders, and (love 'em or leave 'em) the rotary blades. Well here are a couple of goodies to add to the list!

The helping hand magnifier with clips and ability to screw onto your desk or table! They also had one available with LED lighting.

Tweezers with a light! You KNOW you need them.

And, not for quilting, but a nifty little tool set that I use for restoring chalkware statuary. I guess you could use it to make fancy quilt hangers ...

Don't forget the telescoping magnets! I have three or four of them all over the house. They are great for picking up needles and pins, small clips etc. I really have a hard time bending down so these are a wonderful help to me. You have really picked some winners here.

I have one of those magnifying helping hands, only mine is a suction cup and doesn't
hold in place very well.

Great finds though.

I need to go get the rotary tool kit. Just because I don't think I have one. I do like my clamp on magnifying glass with the LED light. have had it couple years.

You never know what you'll find there! In my old studio I had some of the stick on lights for under my desk - always dropping something in the shadows. One thing I forgot to pick up was the rubberized shop mat - great for muffling the noise of your machines! At the moment, I'm using children's oversized puzzles.

Ours closed down. There is now a fantastic very large thrift store in its place and my daughter is really increasing her clothing supply

I had the rotary tool - it didn't last long and the bits don't fit my new Dremel.

I got the helping hand a few months ago and it is really nifty. I use it a lot. Great for huning threads and splinters!
