I know some have mag. on them, some have lights. The ones I am talking about are just regular rippers. The one I have now has a sharp end and the other end has a round ball. Does the ball go between the fabric and the seam? Sounds dumb I know but.....

hi I'm sure there are different grades, some better than others, but I get plain very serviceable rippers in bulk from Cleaner's Supply or WAWAK. That way I have a seam ripper in every part of the house. Can be as cheap as 50 cents depending on how many you buy. Stock up and take orders so you can take advantage of their one price shipping.
