I'm curious. Knittette said she didn't know what the tools were that I sent. How many use a "hemostat" in their sewing? I love mine. Works almost like a third hand when you need to hold something, and I have very fat fingers and acrylic nails, so they are great for getting into tight spots!! The fishermen in the family, and there are many, have them to help get the hooks out. (hopefully from the fish, LOL). The other is a pair of tweezers, but work in reverse of the usual. Squeeze to release. Just found them at a sale and bought several pair, as I thought they would come in handy for much the same things!!
