We have a new Harbor Freight here -- guess I'm going to have to go and look for the utility knife set -- that would be good for pumpkin carving and it is getting to be that time of year!

I go to HF with my DH quite often. Two of my favorite things I have purchased from there are a 48" metal ruler that I use when I have to cut long pieces of fab. or border and binding strips. The other thing I the large suction cup holder for holding my long plastic rulers. It is cheaper there than at JoAnn's or other places an woks the same. I buy my rotary blades from there also.

I bought 6 of the Exacto kits as stocking stuffers 4 yrs ago-kept 2 for myself. I figured I would lose them like I do seam rippers. I have not misplaced it once. And the 2nd one is still unopened. Now that has to be a first. LOL

There are Harbor Freight stores in Florida. I don't know what part of Florida you are in but I have two in my area, Crystal River and Ocala. Check their website as it has a store finder.

I've never heard of the store, but I would sure be in big trouble if there was one near us! Love the exacto knife set.

There are at least 10 HF stores in WI. I don't know where in WI
you live but surely there might be one near you.

Here is a link for you that will take you to the HF locations map.

This storage bins were about $15.

Love your storage bins. I am also a visual person!

And I loved the compartment labeled "vintage keys" - I don't know how vintage yours are; I have lots of keys around that I don't know what they belong to but fear throwing them out because the next day I will have to unlock the one thing that the one key I threw away fit so they all just hang around. I do like your solution.
