Simon, I just checked out these needle grippers. I have never seen one. What exactly do you use them for??? Thanks.....

I use one to pull my needle out from under anchored stitches. Sometimes if the stitches are tight, it's impossible to pull the needle through without damaging something. And since I'm new to living in the desert, everything is so dry, I can't pull the needle through at all.

They didn't have a constant complainer in their left ear, did they? :)
