Questions & Answers

It is not uncommon for me to use regular seam rippers because I am clutzy. What holds the blade to the sword? Does a screw hold it on or does it slip on like a scaple? When in use, I am afraid the blade will fall off. ?

A piece slides into the hole and locks over a nut, then the screw secures the piece in place. This won't simply slip out of your hands. This will be a great experience for you. I like it a lot!

Can a #12 blade be used with this handle?

That isn't a seam ripper, that is a manual cutting tool.

Is this manufactured in any particular country?

Pakistan is written on the handle, but Germany is written on the blades and China is written on the packaging.

Is there a difference between this one and the Ultra Pro II version of this ?

The Ultra Pro appears to be similar to this. As a matter of fact, I have one. The handle on this tool is much more sturdy than the plastic handle, and it is easy to change blades when necessary. Having used seam rippers of other styles, I will never switch back to them. It's great that you shared this. Here's what I came up with.

Selected User Reviews For Havel's Ultra Pro Seam Ripper-5.5"

For anyone looking for a sewing kit, this is highly recommended! An essential item for any sewing kit and one of my favorite Amazon purchases! It's a great purchase! I highly recommend it! The most popular seam ripper was hard to find among the many reviews I had read The one in question "seemed" to be the one, and The best I've ever used! I've used it numerous times and agree that it's the best! One of my sewing kits already had a few similar items, but none worked quite the same as this one, people generally dislike having to use a seam ripper! When I went through some mistakes with my recent sewing project, this little thing did the job like no other seam ripper I've worked with and if you've ever sewed, you know that can mean the difference between starting from scratch on a project or salvaging it! You must own this sewing kit! So I recommend you do! But handle with the utmost care and attention It has a blade that is extremely sharp and has a firm grip

Using a seam ripper with a plastic handle is no longer an option
5/5

When did I not realize that you could replace the blades on seam rippers? The plastic handle on one of mine broke, and I was slightly annoyed that I had to throw it out in such a wasteful way. Despite not having to search for it, I am so happy to find it and am delighted There is no seam ripper that I have found to be as good as this one. While I do think the packaging was not well conceived, I am not sure how well it was executed. I think it might be safer to cover the blade of this seam ripper before packing it. The blade is a lot more dangerous than the blades on my other seam rippers. It might come to the point where the seam ripper outlives the oil-slick blade cover, but I'll figure out how to hack one together after that.

Habels Ultra Pro Seam Ripper with side plates- Buying the seam ripper for the second time is a great idea
5/5

I bought a disposable one (with a plastic handle) the first time I bought one (many years ago). In need of a replacement (it doesn't work anymore, but is getting dull) I ended up purchasing the Pro Ripper which comes with a set of replacement I can say without a doubt that this blade is very In the course of using it, I take precautions Make sure children cannot get their hands on the product. On the first one I believe it was described as being "surgical precision" and I believe it accurately describes the product. As a novice sewist, I find myself ripping seams more often than I care to count (I have to rip a lot), so I use mine a lot. Having my first one last for several years speaks volumes about the quality of this product. I expect this pro ripper with replacement blades will keep working, no matter what your needs are.
Definitely recommend if you are looking for something that will do the job.

I have a havel that is different from the last one I had
4/5

The seam cutters you sell are so much better than those can opener looking junk ones everywhere else! item replaces a havel I got somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago. a few things I like better and a few things I dislike about this one compared to Compared to a plastic one, I like how much more weight it has. As an added bonus, the blade has a set screw that affixes it rather than just snapping on like it normally would. There is no need for a thin lid for this, since it isn't so thin that the inside of the lid stabs me when I try to use it. In addition to the foil packaging, I love that the extra blades are not loose. The handle is so thin and narrow, which makes it hard to hold on to. Perhaps I will still get used to it, but I don't like it as much as I used to. There is one thing that I dislike about this axe, which is that it doesn't have The old one had one, and it usually worked best with the hooked end, but at times it could be nice with the flat end.
I don't know yet how I feel about the handle end on this one for sweeping out picked threads. With the old plastic handle, you can use it as an "eraser" for picking up your Although I have not yet put this one into practice, I think it won't be the same as the previous one.

The quality of the photos is extremely poor! After the first use of the device, it broke
3/5

Sadly, when the pin holding the blade (separate from the thumb screw) fell out, the tool was no longer useful. Rather than return this, I purchased a craft knife that had a curved blade (very similar in design to this) and it works perfectly well and is very sturdy. My experience with sewing is pretty new, but I strongly recommend this style of seam ripper, just find one with a better quality blade that holds the blades firmly.

Having made a few changes, it's working great now
3/5

My only complaint about this seam ripper is that the blade does not stay properly in place. There is a problem with the screw that holds the blade in place. It is too short and does not securely hold the blade in place. Using a piece of string, I was able to modify it. The new version of the software works perfectly now! The screws need to be held firmly so that it is a five.

I like it a lot
5/5

A ripper is an excellent tool to have. Whether you are an expert sewer or a novice, you will I cannot imagine how much easier it would be without this tool.

Excellent! The best you'll ever find! Originally, I purchased this spare in order to have one around
5/5

One of the ones I bought a while back is still with me. It's hard to describe how much I I have ever owned a seam ripper better than this one!.
