They are really easy to use and my hands don't get tired.
Regarding the sewing box, my fav sewing box is a tackle box! I have a smaller tackle box so the inside is not a huge vast cavern. :-) They are relatively inexpensive, have lots of smaller coompartments and come in lots of sizes. Joanns does have "tackle" boxes for sewing and other crafts, but they are a lot more expensive and don't seem to have the room.
You are a wonderful hubby!
