That's why my wire cutters are now out in plain sight in my sewing box rather than under the sink.

Love the magnetic mechanics bowls that HF has ...Bought 1 large and 3 small ones and they are the best.. Been going through items and found so many pins so needless to say they are being put to good use ! LOL

I've got as 4" one and a 6" magnetic bowl. I set the smaller one behind my sewing machine and slide pins toward it as I sew. It's so good that if a pin gets within 2 or 3 inches, it's caught. And those that aren't are easily sucked up by the bottom.

Thank you for the suggestions and great ideas. This board never ceases to surprise me! It truly reinforces the notion that the knowledge in a group of many is greater than a group of one!

And you never know when wire cutters will come in handy for something else, like cutting wires! I know what you mean about cutting plastic and cardboard in those difficult to open packages!!
Just bought some new rotary blades from HF and needed to open one pack. Finally got smart and took the smallest pair of wire cutters from my house tool box to open the plastic & cardboard. Cutters will now stay in my sewing box.
I confess to using my good scissors on more than one occasion. The wire cutters are next to prefect for cutting plastic. Granted, I get less than half an inch cut at a time---------but I only have to try once.
