I was down to my very last one, and every time I set it down I'd freak thinking I'd lose it. So, I found a really good online source (yes, they are Pakistani, and those are notorious for not holding up too well under constant autoclaving, but I don't use mine under sterile conditions anymore). Even with shipping they were only about $3.00 each.

Marvelous for quilting, upholstering, and for working on computers. I'm told they also make a great roach clip, but I wouldn't know about that since my asthma makes smoking dope an extremely bad idea.
I had to google what "hemostats" is. But I can certainly see that my life was empty (and cumbersome) before.
