    That really looks great. I have always loved tools and I really need to go to Harbor Freight and look around. I always make sure to look for the tool booth at Canton where they have the most wonderful gadgets cheap. Last time I got the long handled magnet for picking up pins, a great tape measure and one of the LED lights that are so handy. I think my love for tools as well as my need to figure out how things work must be inherited from my dad who was a machinist.

    It is a great tool. I have been using it for a couple of years.

    They were on sale yesterday for $3.99 and I had a coupon that allowed me to buy seven of them at $2.49 each --- now I have some to pass around ...

    I would think about keeping your magnets away from any sewing machine that is computerized.
    I was told this in a quilt class.I dont have any thing magnetic by my baby lock embroidery maching.

    I have one of those too. Love it. I also have the stubby screwdrivers but I don't have the hand strength to use them. Same goes for the dime.
