I use the Gypsy Grippers all the time. I have three sizes. It took a while to get use to them but now I feel unsafe not using one when I'm cutting. I know I don't have to worry about have a cutting accident using it. And my ruler does not slip at all. Mostly I rough cut fabric for the Go and don't do much precise cutting anymore.

If you have the F&P red and cream seam ripper the round end pulls the stitches right out of the fabric after unripping. Just rub the end on the stitches. No need to pull them out one by one by hand. It's fast.
