    for what? mustache and eyebrow trimmers? Original poster gave a link for the ripper. The electric one shows up at the bottom of that page.

    I have the surgical steel blade style ripper..........and although it may look scary at first..........you learn quickly how to use it fast and with confidence and NO cuts to fabric rather then ripping only seams. I have gifted these to friends who also love it.

    I think it is a wicked little tool. Maybe my learning curve is too long....when I used it I kept cutting my fabric. Usually just one thread so it didn't show right away but sure did once it once together....not happy. It is in the "I'll never use this tool again" drawer.

    DebraK, I bought one of those battery operated seam ripper thingys it works so/so I find it hard to hold the 2 fabrics apart with my left hand while trying to hold the button down to use the ripper and a couple of times I've shaved the fabric so I would say not to get one but thats MHO.

    I love my Seam Fix Ripper too! Although I bought mine from a quilt shop, I saw them in a Walmart recently.
