5.0 out of 5 stars Useful implement.
Very easy to use. Retractable blade makes it very safe to store.
4.0 out of 5 stars Seems strong though the 'blade' is quite thick
Not as adaptable as the fine bladed metal seam ripper I'm used to, however I didn't buy it for that, more for craft use so I'm sure it will be useful.
5.0 out of 5 stars Designed for the task, not to look girly.
You have to remember that actual cutting action feels very slightly different. I have used a metal version of this tool and I spent more time worrying about my fingers being cut. This tool gives the advantage that you can work quickly being sure that neither you or the fabric gets cut. I’m glad I took the plunge and bought one. Yes the replacement blades seem expensive but the work you will get through doing so is phenomenal
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product
This is a review changed from 1 star to 5. I learnt how to use it - a little trial and error worked wonders, and now it's my go-to tool for ripping seams and clipping ends from time to time. I find it far superior to the metal fork type that I've used for years.
1.0 out of 5 stars Useless
I was not able to get to a post office in time to return this, after starting a return. It’s not sharp, and utterly useless for doing what it’s supposed to be used for.I am very disappointed. I could have bought lots of good seam rippers for the price of this one.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not really worth the money
So the actual tool is okay. I’m giving it 3 stars because the blade is not overly sharp and a bit thick. Also, it comes with fairly useless rounded blade and pointed blade would have been much better, you can of course purchase it but it costs more than this tool! Clearly designed to make people buy extra blades so they can make more money. There are better tools out there overall and were ready to use out of the box.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very handy tool.
No more cut fingers thanks to this little thing. Nice that it comes with a replacement blade as well. Mine now hangs on a ribbon around my neck when sewing. Highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be improved
Make sure you know which version you're buying! I bought the locking one, but saw a lot of reviews saying it didn't work when they bought the non locking version. I like it though, it's easier to hold over typical styles and it cuts threads really easily. However, they missed the opportunity to add storage for one spare blade in the handle. The pack came with 2 blades and zero storage for the second one. It also can be a little unstable at times, which could be fixed by just making the end of the blade that goes in the handle longer.
A safer seam ripper that's versatile and a joy to use
I got one of these seam rippers for Christmas, and it's pretty awesome. Retractable so you don't accidentally stab yourself. Cuts threads but doesn't cut skin, so it's safer. The description says it comes with a blunt blade and a pointed blade is available separately, but my unit came with one of each! The pointed blade lets you really dig into tight places and do precise seam ripping, the blunted one is good to more quickly rip long lengths of stitching without tearing into fabric. I ended up buying a second unit so I could have one of each type of blade handy. I had a lot of seam ripping to do last night and today, and this unit has really made the process a lot easier. I find I can hold the Slice a number of different ways, depending on how I need to access the seams I'm ripping, so it's very versatile.
Text irreführend, Spitze ist dick und stumpf
Nahttrenner ungeeignet für das Trennen von Stoffnähten, da es eine stumpfe Spitze hat.Spitze Spitzen müssen extra gekauft werden.
Manque de praticité
Pas très pratique en réalité
Came with an extra blade!
After purchasing two of the Slice 10512 Pen Cutters a couple of years ago, I found them indispensible. Purchased initially because of all the box cutter blades we went through. The older model is shown on the left with other items in the first picture. Mostly use it to open Bolo packages, lol. It is auto retracting. Great for cutting packages and opening boxes. After two years bought a couple more keeping one in several different locations.This purchase was for the newer model with a more delicate blade. Great for cutting threads when seam ripping. As a sewist and quilter, I often need a seam ripper, :). I chose the manual model for this purchase. An auto retracting model works great for a short time, such as opening a package. The manual closure is practical when the device will be used for a length of time. The blade clicks into place, so it will stay secure when not in use. There is also a center adjustment so the tip of the blade will stay partially exposed if needed.I had purchased the pointy tips to use with the old version. However, according to the blade package (first picture) it will not fit that model. Didn't want to take a chance, so purchased the seam ripper model AND I wanted it to manually retract. I was surprised to see that the package for the seam ripper had an extra blade. You can see the hole in the package where the blade was located near the base of the cutter. That blade was a pointy blade. The rounded blade was shipped inside of the cutter, ready to go. See the second two pictures for a close up of the blades and the bottom of the package stating two blades were included. I placed the blades and the cutter on a cutting mat so they were more visible.Although I JUST received this cutter, I know it will work great for my purposes. As several reviewers have mentioned, this cutter's blade is slender at the tip. I plan on being careful not use it on thick items. Plus, I now have some extra blades should I damage one.One last point, this manufacturer donates to autism research. An ailment that has impacted many lives. It is manufactured in the USA, if anyone is interested. Highly recommend this and the other products made by this company. Was so excited, I just noticed they sell scissors too!
safe to use
safe retractable not as sharp as I thought it might be but usable for my needs
