ok, not "today" but very recent....I moved not long ago and most belongings have not been shipped. Cant bring myself to buy things. Like kitchen knives.
Doing some debris removal from Hurricane Irma (finally removed the downed tree from my yard) and I used my Sidekick to remove a couple of dozen sticker burrs from my socks and shoe laces. It was a lot better than pricking my fingers on the damn things which are very sharp, and the spring assisted pliers made easy work of it.
