In 1954, a patent was awarded for Gold Seal's "Ball Bearing Thread Nipper", and the design proved so effective that it has been copied worldwide and is now the industry standard. The "ball bearing" construction results in smoother, easier operation and increases the life of the nippers. And no one makes them better than the original--Gold Seal.
