These are cool. There is another type of seam ripper too that I love to use and I don't do any of the work. It is the gillette electric (actually battery operated) eyebrow epilator I think it's what it is called. I have had it for so long I don't even have the packing. I bought it at Walgreens when my friend showed us how they work. It is a thin silver colored item that cost approximately $10.00. I wish I knew how to send pics and I would send everyone one. It is great for those of us who have problems with our fingers or hands.
