I love my quick ripper $15-$20 BFD what is that in the grand scheme of things. Nice regular seam rippers are what $3 each, get dull and have to be replaced, and who only has 1 so I bought less fabric that month I would absolutly do it again it has saved me hours of time and frustration. I've had it for 9 months or longer and have not needed to change the battery yet. A couple of weeks ago I used it to remove several rows of my poor quilting way better than picking each stitch one by one.
