I have many favorite tools and gadgets-but most recently I bought a pair of jewelry nippers at JoAnn's - for $1.99 (1/2 price) and still used my 20% off everything coupon-they are really sharp, and with a small damage-free handing hook on the front of my machine, they are always at reach. Having said that, I just got my new Brother PC420 Project Runway machine a couple days ago, and with all bells and whistles on the front, there isn't really a place I can hang them (maybe on the side). Anyway, for the money, I was tickled pink. I never used nippers before-they are sure handy!
