I only have the mini size and although I seldom use it I do like
it (when I can find it).

YES WalMart is now carrying them and they are also carrying the
Clover Wonder Clips in both the 10pk and 50pk as well as the large
green clips.

The thing I don't like about this tool is: you can't put the cover on the back end of the ripper so you have both things in your hand at the same time.

It won't fit on the end of the Seam Fix ripper because it's a safety issue.

I don't use the ripper part of the Seam Fix. It's not sharp or thin enough for me. I just buy it for the eraser end. Cheap at Walmart.

I wouldn't spend the extra $ on a tool like that. As others have mentioned, there are different ways. My preferred "tool" is a piece of painter's tape wrapped around a finger. Works great, and is cheap!

My BFF gave me one of those and I just thought it was a seam ripper with a knobby head. Thanks for letting me know about the other valuable tool on there.

Of course I knew all I had to do was ask on the Quilting Board and I'd get an answer licketey split - LOL...the GENIUS Board.

Thanks for any help you can give me. Pat
I had to send DH to get me a new seam ripper and he got one from Walmart that has a rubbery end that removes all the little threads. Works great. The end looks like it it a cap on the cover but is attached. He said it was just a couple dollars.

I use a mini lint roller or a piece of masking tape. Had not heard of this one. Thanks.
