They have a set of small brushes on a key ring that are great for cleaning lint in tight places. One of the best purchases I made is a magnetic bowl that is made for nuts and bolts. I bought the larger one for my large quilting pins. You can literally knock it off a table and not spill any pins.

Magnetic bowl I use it for my clips for binding, it's big enough to hold them all. Have another for my safety pins

I just got a magnetic strip that I am going to attach to my peg board. I may put my scissors on it.

I got a set of picks that I like. They have orange handles and different angles at the tip end. Love walking around Harbor Freight to see what I can use in my studio. Have fun.

If you're a glue-baster, they have some nice squeeze bottles there. I fill them from a gallon jug of Elmer's for my basting - so much easier to squeeze than the smaller Elmer's bottles, and holds more too.

I love their little magnetic dishes. I have a few for myself, and my spouse has bought a few to use in his bird's cage - the magnet makes it un-spillable.

Last Christmas, my hubby bought me a workbench and BIG three-section rolling tool chest. I store my threads, stencils, extra hoops for my embriodery machine and all kinds of stuff in the tool chest. The workbench is where I store my long-arm rulers, rotary-cutting rulers, and my other two tool boxes. He bought it all at Harbor Freight.

Plus, I use the big magnetic bars on my long-arm to give me some tension when I "float" my quilt tops.
As others have said, tho magnetic bowls are a must-have.

Harbor Freight just THINKS they're for automotive/garden/etc type of stuff - they don't know that they're really a "quilters tool shop"!
