A dual blade retractable tool is provided. The tool has a round tubular housing and a one-piece injection molded slide block structure. The housing has a longitudinally extending control slot and two ends with blade extension openings, one major and one minor. The one-piece structure has a major blade and a minor blade, each carried by a support. Each blade projects through the corresponding blade extension opening. One support is attached to a leaf spring cantilevered at the other end. The spring carries a control button, which projects through and moves within the slot, and a locking pin, which extends beyond the spring perpendicular to the control slot. Depressions in the tube engage and dis-engage with the locking pin as the button is pressed and moved.

Dual retractable seam ripper

A dual blade retractable seam ripper is provided. The seam ripper has a generally cylindrical tube and a unitary injection molded slide block structure. The tube has a control slot and two capped ends with blade extension openings, one major and one minor. The unitary structure has a major seam ripping blade and a minor seam ripping blade, each carried by a support. Each blade projects through the corresponding cap opening. One support is attached to a leaf spring cantilevered at the other end. The spring carries a control button which projects through and moves within the slot and a locking pin which extends beyond the spring. Depressions in the tube engage and dis-engage with the locking pin as the button moves and is pressed.

A compact, ergonomic, lighted, retractable seam ripper is provided, having a housing, a retractable seam ripping blade, an LED, a battery, and a switch. The housing has generally planar exterior sidewalls and lower peripheral surface, a generally arcuate upper peripheral surface, a blade opening in the upper surface, and a longitudinally extending first and second rail generally parallel to the lower peripheral surface. The retractable seam ripping blade is mounted on a blade holder translatable along the first rail. A spring integral with the holder has a locking projection that engages locking depressions in the second rail. An actuating member between the spring and housing dislodges the locking projection from each of the locking depressions. The switch connects the LED to the battery when actuated.
