I know some have mag. on them, some have lights. The ones I am talking about are just regular rippers. The one I have now has a sharp end and the other end has a round ball. Does the ball go between the fabric and the seam? Sounds dumb I know but.....
first = the razor portion of all of them is about the same and like all cutting tools, they go dull after a while = since I like sharp ones, I buy cheap and replace every couple of years. I do like ones with a larger handle because I have large hands. Also - I never thought about putting the ball end between the seam and the fabric, I just figured that the ball was to keep me from piercing the fabric from that end of the moon shaped blade...a safety thing.
