Little clipper trimmers will do the same. Price a lot less.
Yep, I inherited my dh's old pair of beard trimmers to rip seams. I dont use them much since I have cut fabric several times. I don't like to do that.
Very cool!
It is just a beard/mustache trimmer - got one at WalMart
OOPs didn't mean it to sound so snarky. But if you like this idea and I do use it some especially on long straight seams, you can get it cheaper and with no shipping at WM or other local big box store/drugstore.
Do not show this to my dh, he will have my clippers, and i will have to shoot him! Lol!
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
It is a great little tool - mine just died though and so I think I will replace it with the trimmer mentioned above. It didn't live very long - so that was disappointing but I had heard that was a concern. Maybe it is one of those things that needs to be used on a regular basis, i would go months without turning it on since I only used it for longer seams.
I got the "quick ripper" cheap on ebay and it has a replaceable AA battery.
Did you see if yours has a door to push open to replace the battery?

To keep these in good condition, you have to oil the blades. I have had several pair of hair and dog clippers...all say to oil the blades (I use sewing machine oil). Hubby's beard trimmer came with a tiny tube of oil.
