/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I find the opposite to be true.
I use needle-nose for straightening leads on salvaged parts, and the nut holding the float bowl on my riding mower that I can't get a wrench on. Other than that, I barely use them
Hemos are great for breadboarding. As for the lock being a pain, just bend them slightly and remove the sharp edges on the "lock".
I wouldn't do without 'em. I use then to bend wires, remove wires from the breadboard without bending them, soldering or desoldering parts, heat sink for soldering, digging small parts or nuts/bolts out of containers, removing stripped screws, and of course hard to reach places.

These plano containers are great for parts OP. All values of resistors in one small container, 1's in the front, 2.2,3.3,4.7 in the middle and >4.7 in the back.
