Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener
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.Customer Review: I'm sticking with scissors
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought this would be the greatest tool as more and more items are coming packaged in clamshells and theft resistant packaging. I was surprised when I received it that it, too, was packaged in an impossible to open clamshell package!
I've tried to use this on a few packages and I've never had great luck with it. The blade seems to get stuck cutting through the packaging rather than gliding through.
I guess I prefer the scissors because you can use the leverage of them to get through thicker packages.
Customer Review: wait for it in the dollar stores
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this for over a year now and it pretty much works as advertised, but not a lot better than a knife and a pair of scissors. As far as safety goes, it's only slightly safer than using a knife to open, since the openx uses a blade (resembles a box knife) that retracts into the handle to make the first cut so that the package opening blade can be inserted. The products' construction is pretty good, feels solid, hard plastic and a sharp blade.Customer Review: Not quite as promised
Summary: 3 Stars
It is not as easy to use this as they imply in the advertising. The puncturing part of the tool works fine, but many times the plastic on a package is too thick for the other razor edge to cut through. I end up having to use the puncturing blade to open the whole thing.Customer Review: Tough for left-handers
Summary: 3 Stars
It's about time that someone created a tool such as this to open those tricky plastic packages. The idea is great, but like with so many other things, this tool is difficult to use for those of us who are left-handed. I'd love a left-handed version!
