Dependable Cutting Jaws Get the Job Done
The Zibra Open It! features offset cutting jaws that provide maximum leverage to cut through tough packages quickly and easily. The offset design also serves to keep your hands a safe distance from sharp, ragged edges when you are opening sonic-sealed plastic clamshells. This means you won't cut yourself while opening up new toys or gadgets.The jaws are crafted from hardened steel, so they can also serve as wire snips. This means that you can safely and effectively cut away the wire twist ties and stubborn plastic zip ties that some manufacturers use in packaging their products. And with a wire snip always handy, you'll never have to ruin a nice pair of scissors again just to open up a package. Integrated Tools Add Versatility
Hidden in one side of the handle is a self-retractable utility knife that comes in handy anytime you're dealing with cardboard, annoying cellophane wrappers, or sticky tape. Perfect for slicing through boxes or opening CDs and DVDs, this utility knife has a reliable safety lock and automatically retracts when not in use, keeping your hands protected. Hidden in the other side of the handle is a convenient, integrated screwdriver. This mini screwdriver offers the versatility of interchangeable Phillips and slotted heads, so that when you get new toys and electronics out of their packaging you can open sealed battery compartments without having to hunt for special tools. Practical, Ergonomic Design Wins Endorsements
It's easy to see why the Zibra Open It! was a finalist for the 2008 Housewares Design Awards, and why it has won the endorsement of TV personality /domestic diva Rachael Ray. Beyond its versatility, the Open It! boasts ergonomically designed soft-grip handles that make it comfortable to hold and work with. This multi-use tool even features a simple, intuitive "open/close" lock switch that helps ensure safe storage. Whether you keep it in a kitchen drawer, at the office, or in the glove box of your car, the Open It! is sure to make your life a lot easier. This Zibra product is guaranteed against defects with normal usage.

 Stab yourself while opening packages December 1, 2008
J. Griffith (Seattle, Wa)
I'm sorry to give the Zibra package opener a bad review since it was brought to market to help people with a task no one wants to do in the first place. However, as a product designer myself, I couldn't believe that this company allowed the final product to be sold and marketed.
I take issue with one feature in particular. The razor blade at the end of the handle. The trigger for using this razor looks just like a handle lock on other handheld tools, so users first using this product have a high likelihood of stabbing themselves with a razor blade right in the palm of their hand. Try it.
It looks like during a design review meeting, the marketing deptartment decieded they wanted to add some "value-added features," too bad it turned out to be a really bad decision.
Be careful!
 Needs to improve safety lock December 1, 2008
Amanda Leigh Robinson (Connecticut)
This is a great product, I just wish it would either eliminate the extra features or improve them. For opening blister packs, it is fantastic. However, the safety lock broke very quickly and never really worked well in the first place...the t hing woud pop open by itself. The screwdriver has fallen off, and I never even used it.
 Frustration gone November 14, 2008
C. Bayne (Phoenix, AZ United States)
Until Amazon manages to get everything packaged in frustration-free packaging, this little toy is a great thing. My favorite part is the bent scissors that let you cut the plastic close to the edge without getting your hand scratched up. This is a wonderful thing.
Open It November 10, 2008
Pooch (Montana)
This is one of the best products I have ever received... Makes those hard to open plastic packaged items a breeze. It includes the battery compartment screwdriver and a utility knive in the handles. I did have a problem with the connection that holds it together breaking and now a girls pony tail holder has replaced it. I bought numerous for Christmas gifts and will make sure they open it first so they CAN open their other gifts. Highly recommend it for everyone especially our senior citizens whose hands may not work like they want them to.
Vrey useful indeed October 17, 2008
James Jones (Clive, IA United States)
This is a very well-designed device, and with its extremely sharp blades and comfortable grip, should take enormous hassle and frustration out of opening those thrice-damned sealed clear hard plastic packages so many things come in these days. (It should remove some danger as well, considering how easily one can cut oneself on that plastic while trying to tear one open by brute strength.)
I came very, very close to giving this four stars, because--guess what sort of packaging is used for this device? Yup, that's right... so how do you get it out safely and easily?
Actually, they used less durable plastic than one usually sees, so, since I ordered two, I was able to free one sufficiently to cut out the other effortlessly, and then freed the first the rest of the way. I now look forward to many years of reduced frustration with plastic packaging.
