These little treasures make a great tool for catching those small parts when you part trhem off and dont want to have to dig through the swarf to find it

Supermarkets seem to be a good source of cheap metal ones,tip would be remove the little bit that allows it to sit on cup ,as if this catches the chuck it could get a little exciting !!!!!!!!!

I always just use a tiny cardboard box, like the ones a hundred 1/4 - 20 machine
screws come in. Or smaller depending on the size of the "bit" being cut off.

Good tip, CB. They work well for cleaning small parts too.
