Kind of OT, I'm afraid. I love the block your pliers are laying on!! Where'd you find that cat fabric? I'm a cataholic! I love tools too and have found several that I got when I was tinkering with vintage machines that are great now with sewing. Will have to check out those pliers...they sound great! Also, re the telescoping magnet wand, I got mine in the auto dept at Walmart. Just found it again after many months of being missing (the wand, not me!) and it is great for picking up pins or anything metal since I tend to drop things a lot!
