Excellent!
I'm finding this seam ripper extremely useful. In the past I have tended to rely on a small pair of scissors but the seam ripper cuts very cleanly especially for button holes. I do feel it is a bit pricey but hopefully it will last and the cover won't snap as did my last one.

Compact - perfect for your daily sewing kit.
The Hemline seam rippers are my 'go-to' for hand-sewing, embroidery, as well as dressmaking and patchwork quilting by machine. They are small and light enough to take with me for projects on the go, and also to keep in the drawer of my sewing machine ... for the occasional 'oops' that needs immediate attention.
I like that the top cap fits over the bottom (the bit you hold) when in use - lengthening the holding area although the caps do split sometimes if they are pushed on too tight.
The point is not too pointy (a needle is much sharper) and the bobble helps for 'speed ripping' like removing zips or long lengths of seams.
The sharp inner blades last a good while ... I generally lose them or bin them because of the plastic perishing before they stop cutting properly.
A sewing staple ... they should be a part of your basic kit!

Great tool.
After sadly breaking my years old trusty seam ripper, I replaced it with this one. Great tool, works well, nice and sharpe.

A sewing must have
As much as I'd love to not need it, this seam ripper is a must in my sewing box. It makes undoing the mishaps much easier!
