OK, let me try again. What I meant was why would anyone pay $8.79 +
shipping and have to have another item cluttering the bench when you can
clean the tip just by putting it in the holder with the same thing available
for $1.89 at any grocery store? I have often wondered when I see these
items advertized why anyone would buy one.

Nobody was telling YOU that you had to BUY this product were they?

It was merely offered as a suggestion for those people who like to buy
something off the shelf which comes with a little aluminium holder for
the stainless pot scrubber, that's all.
