Stored at home without use. There are fine scratches from the beginning. *Originally intended for gripping medical metal needles, the gripping part is angular. When tightening fishing line, twisting it can damage or cut the line. When bending wire, be careful as bending something too hard or thick can warp the tool. Can be used for practicing suturing, removing hooks when fishing, and for fine detail work. I am also listing several other of the same product, and bulk purchases are welcome ☺︎ Discounts are possible! Thank you for your consideration. #NeedleHolder #FishingGear #FishingPliers #SewingTools
