Exceptionally handy for travel, this pair of 4-inch featherweight thread snips weighs only 1/2 an ounce.

It features strong stainless-steel blades, which are welded into place, plus a black glass-filled nylon frame that lends strength to the unit.

In addition, very sharp points make it useful for pulling threads and reaching into tight spots for thread cutting--even cutting fishing line and fly-tying.

The thread clip's protective cap allows for safe stowage in a sewing basket or safe carrying in a purse, pocket, or luggage.

The cap also comes fitted with a loop to enable attaching a ribbon for hanging the indispensable tool around the neck while working.

So convenient, more than one around the house might be necessary.

The thread snips measure 1/2 by 3/5 by 4 inches and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
