I love my Gizmo, actually have two, one in the sewing studio and one in the spare bedroom by the sewing machine (my sewing annex). I do a lot of chain piecing, so I find it a time saver from having to pick up the scissors, also my right wrist doesn't bend, making certain actions difficult. The gizmo take care of that.

I place a small seam ripper in the hole of a spool of thread with the cutting part facing up and gently cut each piece apart with the seam ripper standing there. Works great and no additional "gadget" to buy.

Using one eliminates the repetitive motion using scissors or snips which is very bad for your hands. You aren't using your hand to cut, only holding the fabric.
I have seen the ones made with a seam ripper sticking up and they are dangerous. A guild member went the cheap way and got impaled for it. LOL If you have an unused thread cutter pendant, that is safer to stick in a piece of wood or spool.
I have seen two sizes, short and tall. I like the tall one the best. They aren't that expensive.
