I have had good luck with my Janome rippers, one from each machine. Also have a larger blue handled one that works very nicely too.

I think I win I broke one and was so excited I had a replacement that I shut it in the drawer and broke the replacement...so in less than 5 minutes I broke two!

I broke the handle off a couple of seam rippers but have never broken the tip.

My daughter was using her seam ripper to open a buttonhole and the tip snapped off. We only use the Clover seam rippers with the round white handle. Her fabric was a twill, she thinks it was a bit much for the ripper.

Oh yes, I have broken a few, but more aggravating, I have lost more. Is there a seam ripper gnome?

No, but I have misplaced (lost) many of them. They are in my house somewhere :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I go through seam rippers like I go through my can openers, very quickly.

Wow, I haven't broken one yet, lost a few. WE need to try to find some made in the good ole USA.
