This lighted seam ripper is perfect for ripping out stitches, cutting threads, and opening button holes. The bright light illuminates the area you’re working on with a simple slide of the easy on/off switch. It has a fine sharp blade with a safety ball to protect the fabric and a clear cap to protect it when not in use. Ridges along the top of the handle add grip for better control while you work. Includes (3) G3-A batteries: before your first use, please open the battery cover and carefully remove the white tab. Clear Plastic cover protects the blade of the approximately 5-1/2 in. threader.
