    I sure could use one of those. I hope I remember to look for one, next time I need something more than just that.

    My husband got me one at Harbor Freight. It is 3' long, but will extend more. It's a life saver because if I got down on the floor to find pins under the table I may never be able to get up. I also have several of Harbor Freight's magnetic mini bowls to hold my different size pins. I did learn to never stack them...

    Mine came from Harbor Freight. I have seen them with tiny lights on the ends, too. In fact I've got two. One by my sewing machine and one by my sewing chair.

    30 month old GD love them too. She's been going around the house picking up stuff. She's learning a bit about which metals can be picked up. She picks up about 2 dozen things then put them in a pile and then picks them up and returns them. She's found out the kitchen drawers are treasurer troves. Gotta keep her out of the sewing stuff, though.

    I put my little magnetic bowl in the larger one sometimes. They do stack quite well. Adn if you're careful, you can push the pins on the bottom--bottom bottom--back into their own bowl.

    I wouldn't be without one of these near my sewing machine. Works great. They are available in the auto section of stores.
