Almost as versatile as duct tape. Kids love 'em for twisting together little stick people and animals.

Pipe cleaners are even a fashion statement! And if your pipe stem needs cleaning along the way, there you go.

I hate when that happens...a strap keeps falling off one shoulder repeatedly. I wore bibs, in the cooler weather months, for my job as a union sheet metal worker (HVAC installation and fabrication). Still wear 'em for cutting wood.

My son twists them into little people to use as action figures.

I promise I'm not too cheap to buy him toys. He just loves his little "pipe cleaner men!"

Some plastic panels on the undercarriage of my car came loose, and pipe cleaners saved the day!

They make great cat toys, too. My one cat loves pipe cleaners, give him a clean pipe cleaner and he will content himself for hours.

They also work well for cleaning those little nooks and crannies in the action of a firearm when you're doing your regular cleaning and oiling on the arsenal
