I haven't read all the posts so perhaps someone has already posted this. Hancock's had one that customers could use. The problem is this for me. When I'm taking the pins out of the project I want something I can place, stick, put the pins back into easily. With this gadget you can only put the pins in as loading. Whereas a pin cushion you can quickly find a home for pins coming out of your project. So though it was on sale at the time everyone around it agreed it dispenses just okay but what do you do with the pins after you're done with them...necessitates another pin cushion .... don't have the room for to many gadgets on the table.
