I'm still using my original Dritz seam ripper that I've had for years (40 yrs at least)!

Ditto what Jan said. Love the Clover seam ripper. I bought the Fons and Porter one, and don't like it quite as much.

I love the purple seam ripper with the ergonomic handle ... made of rubber. It is at Joanns and costs about 4.00 but well worth it. Sharp and excellent on preventing strain on your hands. I don't know the brand... Just that I have 2 of them for me and any friends that come over.

I didn't have a seam ripper until two months ago and everyone bragged about Clover. Never used one before but since I bought it, have had to use it.

Fons and Porter from my experience.

I use the scalpel. It is so fast.

I'm pretty good at ripping seams, but you can't afford me! (LOL)

I use the cheapo that I can buy at Walmart. I tried an ergonomic one and it was very difficult for me to use because the handle was so fat. I should have known because I have an ergonomic handled potato peeler that has sat unused in my kitchen drawer for about 5 years.

I love the Fons and Porter too. The point is small and sharp and gets behind those tough threads.

I do too. Anybody else have this problem with other brands as well? When you're sitting under a bright light to un-sew the light glinting off the ripper is a real annoyance. Maybe its just me. That product Zap did a nice job of taking the shine off all my sink chrome, maybe I should try that!

How on earth do you use a beard trimmer?
