DritzLarge Seam Ripper, Ergonomic Design with Protective Cap, 1 Count, Green

I like this so much that I bought it for my sewing student.

I work for a fashion company doing the warranty repair work on all of our leather bags and luggage. Before I picked up this stitch picker I was using either an extremely tiny seam ripper or an ice pick that I blunted the end of to avoid scratching the leather. This particular seam ripper has been a huge blessing for me! It's large enough that I can hold it easily, the grip is comfortable and I can't remember ever having it fall out of my hands or cause any cramping, I also love that it is so easily visible since my tiny stitch picker was a shade of brown that blended in with everything and this is two shades of green that are hard to miss so it's one of the few tools that I never lose, haha.I would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to pick some stitches. My tiny seam ripper snapped in half when I was trying to flip it over to pull out a stuck stitch, this one has plenty of strength that I've never worried about really torquing it down to get any stitch that I need to pull and it's never failed me!

I originally had a different seam ripper from another brand which was the red handle ones made out of just plastic and very skinny but I misplaced it somewhere. I had to get a new one because I wanted to hem my little one's pants for a wedding. The tip works like most tips. it cuts thread fine. I do not noticed anything amazingly different with the tip compare to my old one that I had. What I really like is the handle and the rubber grip. It really does help make it more comfortable to hold so you feel you have more control. Another plus is that it comes with a cover to protect the tip and the good part is that the cap snaps on to the end when in use so you do not have to lose it and it also makes the handle longer too if you want that option. Overall the material seems like it is very durable and made of good quality. I recently used it to open the seams of the back pockets of my new pair of pants and it worked great.

Decided to take a chance on these & so glad I did. Besides being my favorite shades of green it has made taking out stitching & cutting buttonholes so much easier. Plan to order extra one. When I find any tool that makes my life a bit easier I like a spare or two on hand.UPDATE: February 25, 2019 Still loving this seam ripper. Use it all the time & it is super comfy to use. Going to toss out the old ones get a couple more of these. Anything I really really they discontinue making it.

I have been sewing since 1974 and I have always used a tailors knife to open seams. Lately I've been having trouble holding the thin knife. I kept getting cramps in my hand because of how thin it was. So when I saw this, I decided to try. It is wonderful. No more cramping and dropping of my tool. And it is sharp. I never liked using those small seam rippers. I would recommend the Ergonomics Design Large Seam Ripper and will be buying another one for my daughter and granddaughter to use.

I have been using a cheap seam ripper that came free with my sewing machine. I didn't realize how useless it was until I bought this quality one. Works like a dream. Saves so much time if you need to quickly rip out some stitching.I am sure I will have this the rest of my life!

I got this for an unusual purpose: to split-open lengths of 'shrink-wrap' from wire connections .. IT WORKS GREAT!!!Maybe I'll put up a youtube demo on this process ... Added feature #2 : It's easy to imagine it working well to removewire insulation tooCalling this a 'seam ripper' suggests only half it's value,really..tkjtkj, mech.eng., m.d.*******************My criteria:5-star: does the job well, with extra advantages4-star: does the job well3-star: helpful but doesn't accommodate all needs that one would expect2-star: sketchy performance at best1-star: Fails in significant ways ; but they showed up for evaluation0-star: Where are they hiding???

I love this little tool for several reason. Basically I love the fact it is ergonomic as I have arthritic hands. Plus I'm rather clumsy in using things like this. Beyond that, however, I love how quickly it takes the labels out of sport coats and takes the buttons off. I use it for my ebay business. I often find the garment worthless but the buttons and tags of value. So this tool makes my life much easier.Highly recommended.

Bought for my child and it is used daily as she sees a lot. The size is perfect for her.

2nd oneI have purchased - one in home sewing centre and one in travel bag.
