Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener
Customer Review: Dual Blade Package Opener
Summary: 5 Stars
Used it to open many gifts at Xmas and it worked very well.Customer Review: Nice little gadget for certain uses
Summary: 4 Stars
My mom often picks up gadgets and gives them to me and my two sisters as gifts. This was something that she figured that all three of us and our husbands could use--who doesn't hate opening those hard, heavy plastic packages? Unfortunately, I believe that my own husband gave up on this gadget the first time he tried using it on one of those types of packages. Frankly, this little gadget really did not perform very well for that purpose; a heavy-duty pair of scissors is more ideal.
Luckily, I rescued this gadget and brought it to the basement, where I exercise. There, I have found a perfect use for this tool: opening up new fitness DVDs! The typical DVD comes shrink-wrapped in plastic that is often difficult to get open, and even when I can get the plastic off, some of the DVD cases are then taped shut. The little razor function on this gadget works very wll for both of these purposes, helping me get the DVDs open much more quickly. Although it might be a more limited use of this item, I like knowing that it is available if I need it. Overall, I think it is a pretty cheap little investment to have around to save future aggravation.
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: Finger- and Teeth saver!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great tool to open those impossible-to-open jewelboxes that all the electronic gadgets come in. Spares you getting your fingers cut, your teeth broken, not to mention the frustration involved in reaching the product. Originally I read the review on similar tools by David Pogue of the New York Times who mentioned the Dual-X. This tool has 2 blades that enbale you first to slit the package and then get the rest of the job done MUCH better than scissors, knives or perhaps, in desperation, hammers!Customer Review: LOL
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok, so I read a nice review fo this product and decided to give it a try. The thing arrives fairly quickly from the outside vendor and as soon as I open the envelope it came in I bust up laughing.
It is packaged in the same "Stubborn Plastic Packages" that it claims to cut like butter.
So, how do I open it? :D I think I may need to order another one!
