I've never seen these devices before, but I'm going to the Dollar Tree tomorrow to see if I can find them. Thanks for the tip!

Is the correct dollar store "The Dollar Tree: or some other dollar store?
I use a sideburn and moustash trimmer that is powered by batteries when I have a long seam to rip. It is quite fast.

you will just have to try the 99C store along with the dollar store and others to see which one carries it in your area. In you cannot find one, I will send you one.

I use a WAHL moustache trimmer, item # WAH9962-717. It is small, battery operated and works really fast with no worry about cutting the fabric.
I love it!

Hey, me too. I wonder if they are related? I have developed a warm and wonderful relationship with "Jack", at times spending way too much time with him.

I have been using a "new to me" seam ripper from Havel, looks and acts like a scapel, very sharp and cheap replacement blades. Got on ebay, again made by Havel
