Grabbit is the best of the magnetic pin cushions. It's just the right size and holds pins securely. The Grabbit mangnetic pin cushion is designed to hold glass head pins. The Grabbit comes in assorted colors (if you have a preference, let us know in the comments section in the check out and we will try to accommodate). When you are finished with the pins in an item, put the item on a table, just pull the pins out and leave them where they lay. Take the Grabbit Pin Cushion and hover over the loose pins. They are all picked up instantantly as you pass over them. The Grabbit is made of high impact plastic. It can take a tumble and not break. If you or the handy person in your home is taking a machine apart, remove the pins from the Grabbit Magnetic Pin Cushion and slip it into a ziplock bag closing the bag. Parts can be put on the Grabbit so they won't get lost and the plastic bag keeps the pin cushion from getting dirty.
