The Dritz cone thread holder is all plastic and over time the long rod bends over and isn't very useful any more.
This website has a good all metal cone thread stand for about $8 and it will last forever, its got a nice heavy base and is much better than the Dritz one. Its about half way down the page after the fancy ones. I bought one before my DH bought me the fancy flower type of stand.
