Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener
Customer Review: Good idea. Don't work as Expected.
Summary: 1 Stars
I always have to struggle with plastic package, admitting the strength of my hands is below average. Why don't people invent an easier-to-open plastic package? There is always a risk of cutting my hands with those cut-up plastic.
I'm disappointed to find that this tool doesn't make it any easier than a pair of long scissors, which is already awkward enough. Punching a slid in the package can cause accidents if I were not careful. Pushing the blades through the plastic is also hard work.
Perhaps it's for people with strong hands. But then, I imagine a pair of long scissors is good enough for them???
Customer Review: This is a GREAT and INGENIOUS gadget!!

You know the feeling-- you're trying to open the plastic wrap surrounding a case of water bottles, or a taped UPS pkg, or a Costco economy pack of toothbrushes encased in that heavy plastic-- and you're not sure how to open it-- teeth? car keys? knife? scissors? garden clippers? screwdriver? Try the OpenX-- I did, and now I have one in my kitchen, one in my garage, and one in my upstairs office. It is ingeniuously well crafted and it effortlessly (and safely) opens just about anything!! Thank you OPenX, this will be the little Christmas gift I will give to every teacher, coach and tutor on my shopping list this year!!Customer Review: Revolutionary!

This is just one of those small and simple products that makes life easier.
Personally I wish packaging would change and we wouldn't have to resort to this sort of tool.
BUT, as that's not going to happen, this is the solution. I have about a half a dozen of these things all over the house and office and I've been using them for years now.
I use them all the time. I open blister packs in seconds without cutting myself and with so much less frustration. I also open normally taped packages using the tiny blade which come out when pushing on the button.
Works great!
Customer Review: Why didn't they think of this before?
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, the OpenX arrived two days after I ordered it. Why hasn't someone thought of this before? I tried it on some ink jet packages and it opened them like butter. You just puncture the plastic with a retractable blade and then slide the letter opener-type blade through the plastic. It also is a much better utility knife than the standard kind. The retractable blade is very ergonomic for opening cartons and the OpenX fits like it's an extension of your hand. I'm a little embarrassed to say that it's so much fun, I find myself going around the house looking for things to open. I highly recommend this product.Customer Review: I LOVE This Tool!

This is one of those gadgets you never knew you couldn't live without until you got one! It's better than TiVo!
It's incredibly great for opening those stupid hard plastic packages but I also use it to open multi-packs of water or canned goods from Costco that are encased in heavy plastic. Slip and slide. That's all you have to do.
It's also a great grab bag gift or house gift. Oh, and they're inexpensive enough so that I can keep one in my kitchen, den, and office.
I work in a large school distrcit and I use it as a "suck-up" gift. I have become very well liked.
