Have you ever broken a seam ripper?

I have never broken one until recently when I moved my hand too fast, while it was in my hand, hit the table & broke the tip of my favorite seam ripper that came with my Kenmore over 25 years ago. I also use other "cheap" (no brand) ones & they work fine. As for the ergonomic ones, there are different sizes, in handles as well as blades, in case you didn't notice.

Similar thing happened to me. I had purchased Fons and Porter ripper - used it a couple times before tip broke off. I sent email to them and they actually replaced it. Same thing happened on second one...I didn't bother contacting them again.

Yep, been there, done that. I broke a clover with a white handle. It was the handle itself that broke. The metal part of the seam ripper just broke right out of the handle. Took 10 minutes to find as the metal piece went flying across the room. At the time it was the only one I had. Now i have one for each sewing machine, just in case one breaks.
