エルゴノミックスモールシームリッパー

My hands used to ache after long sewing sessions, but the soft handle on this ripper lets me work for over an hour without any cramps. The blade is incredibly sharp too, slicing through stitches cleanly on the first try.

My hands cramp up easily with those cheap plastic rippers, but this handle is shaped so my fingers actually stay relaxed through a whole evening of alterations. The ball point glides under stitches without snagging the fabric, and it's sharp enough that I didn't have to press hard at all.

The ball point tip makes quick work of picking out stitches without snagging the fabric — it glides right through. I'm glad I finally got one that doesn't make my hand ache after a few minutes.
