Do you have a dual purpose quilting tool?

How about breaking a spring clothespin and using one of the pieces as that 'wooden iron' for hand pressing seams. Works great.
For example
I use my seam ripper as a stiletto when I'm sewing
I also use my Kwik Klip tool to help open up seams before pressing. It has saved me many a burnt finger when that seam folds over while I'm trying press it open.

Don't have it yet but Nancy Lee Chong has a led light that she wears around her neck for applique and I have been looking for something like that to use as a light so I could read in bed. My night light is just not enough.
