For several years I've been using these snips next to my sewing machine for clipping threads, corners, etc. They're so handy and easy to use. This past weekend I happened to see them at Home Depot in the gardening section. They're calling the scissors "pruning snips" and they are only $10.97. At Hobby Lobby and Joann's the regular price is $15.99 (although Joann does have them on sale right now for $9.59). The only difference I can see is that the "pruning snips" come with a plastic blade cover which the sewing snips do not have, which is a plus. Anyway, they appear to be the very same snips at a lower price at Home Depot.[ATTACH=CONFIG]318011[/ATTACH]

Thanks. I have a pair which I use all the time. Might have to go to Home Depot and get a pair for one of my sisters who is a quilter also. Never can have too many quilt gadgets.

I love those snips and have several pair. May have to visit Home Depot and add to the collection!

Home Depot is where I got mine when I made a rag quilt. Way more affordable!

Thanks for the great tip!

Interesting. I bought mine at WalMart in the sewing department. I wonder if they have them at a lower price in gardening?
