Zirkel is a magnetic pin cushion that repels & separates items to the edge in a fanned out pattern placing them in a ready to pick up position.

For instance, if a quilting pin is dropped sharp side down then the head of the pin will sit along the edge.  If the pin is dropped "head first" then the sharp side will sit along the edge.

Either way the items are dropped, they will always lay out in a flat sunburst pattern for easier pick up.
