Quotation for Shabbat 245:8
ואת הכוש ואת הכרכר כו': ת"ר פגה שטמנה בתבן וחררה שטמנה בגחלים אם מגולה מקצתה מותר לטלטלה ואם לאו אסור לטלטלה
since one is particular about them he appoints a [special] place for them; so here too one appoints a special place for it [the pestle].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Whence it is not to be moved for any other purpose but its own. This lays a stronger prohibition upon it; hence it may not be handled. ');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Mishnah Kelim
A needle whose eye or point is missing is clean. If he adapted it to be a stretching-pin it is susceptible to impurity. A pack-needle whose eye was missing is still susceptible to impurity since one writes with it. If its point was missing it is clean. A stretching-pin is in either case susceptible to impurity. A needle that has become rusty: If this hinders it from sewing it is clean, But if not it remains susceptible to impurity. A hook that was straightened out is clean. If it is bent back it resumes its susceptibility to impurity.
