Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener
Customer Review: OpenX Dual-Blade Package Opener
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this thinking it would be quick and easy to open plastic packages but it wasn't. Its a pain to use. You have to cut it first with the straight razor then you have to stick the front piece into the clam shell and try to open the package with ease. Didnt work.
My advise buy a utility knife,it works and faster.
Customer Review: opens X's, perhaps-but not any packages
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this for Christmas for my elderly mother with severe arthritis in her hands, packaging opening is a real challenge for her.
The singular positive comment I can make: it was good for a laugh, as all of us gathered on that holiday failed to be able to open ANYTHING with it, including it's own clamshell packaging!
I absolutely DO NOT recommend this to anyone except as a lesson in futility. (If you happen to need one!)
I do recommend an ordinary box cutter/utility knife, which is what I intend to purchase for my mother to make up for this, and wish very much that I had just done that in the first place!
Customer Review: The little blade is very useful, the larger one not so much
Summary: 4 Stars
I have several of these, and use them to open boxes all the time. They are superior to a standard box cutter for this, because the blade only sticks out a little bit and is therefore less likely to cut too deeply into the package and damage the item within. I also like that it is spring loaded, so when not in use it disappears back into the handle.
The front of the device, however, is not very useful. In order to make the plastic "jaw" strong enough, they made it very thick. Too thick to easily slip into the package and slide along to make a cut.
So, if you are just looking for a better boxcutter, this is your product. If you want something more versatile, try this instead:

Customer Review: Threw it away.

Great idea, but didn't work at all as well as expected. Back to the kitchen shears. Customer Review: Utility Knife Works Just as Well
Summary: 3 Stars
First, I was a little dismayed that the OpenX Dual-Blade Package Opener comes in one of the hard-to-open-plastic-packages-I-bought-this-dang-thing-for. How is that for irony? After struggling to get the package opener out, I tried it out on another package...it wasn't as slick as I thought it would be, but did indeed do the job once I got the initial hole started in the plastic. It's a little tough going around corners with the opener, but eventually, it did work. I would recommend saving your money and just getting a good utility knife.
