The only thing I don't like about this product is that I can't find replacement blades. I wish the Amazon would have carried them. These are clips that meet ginger standards. They are small and easily fit in the palm of your hand. I've tried almost every brand of thread clip it seems - most are too bulky and the tips are too "thick". I've had these Ginger clips for over 15 years and could get replacement blades, but as Fiskers seems to own Gingher now I can't find any replacement blades unfortunately. so I just bought my second pair. The real pluses of this product are that they are so small they take up about 1/3 of the space on my sewing machine bed where I keep them and the tips are so small and tiny it's a miracle to 'miss' them ".
