Hubby and I ventured off to Home Depot for another round of house shopping. Â I came across this….
It’s a magnetic keepers to keep screws and whatnots in for handymen. Â Well I use a larger round one with my quilting machine and I have periodically bumped it making the pins cascade to the floor. Â I was excited to see the large rectangle one. Â I thought for $5, I would get one as that would sit on the bars without sticking out so hopefully I won’t catch my arm on it.
Hubby was happy to have the other two smaller ones for his work in the garage.
Here’s what it looks like with the machine. Â From the looks, I won’t catch the rectangle one with my arm and flip it as often as I do the original round one I have.
I thought I would pass my circular one on to Hubby but then decided I’d keep it for safety pins and my little screw drivers. Â I did give him the two round ones that came with the set. Â It was a $5 upgrade but I think I’ll be happy with the investment.
I have a small round dish, and yesterday I knocked it off and some pins when flying. I will have to look for this today when I go to Peoria. I think the rectangle one would be great also. Thanks for sharing this great idea. $5 won’t break the budget either.
My teeters in the bar than flips. The set you found was cheaper than the bulky circle one.
I bought 2 round ones at Harbor Freight in MO. Sure have enjoyed using them for my pins.
good idea!
