This is one of those tools that you always need - especially when you don't have one! I always keep mine handy in my tool box as I find it is very useful for cutting headpins and eyepins the same length, and for measuring beads before cutting my wire - just to make sure they will have enough room!
And for such a bargain price, you'd be silly not to have one!
