Amazon.com Product Description:
Tired of cutting your hands on plastic packaging? Are you frustrated with breaking down taped-up cardboard boxes at work? The Zibra Open It! Four-in-One Universal Package Opener lets you easily open clamshells, toy packaging, boxes, battery compartments, and more. This universal multi-tool cuts, snips, slices, and unscrews practically any kind of packaging you can imagine.

The Zibra Open It! offers:
  • An easy way to open plastic clamshell packaging
  • Offset cutting jaws to protect your hands from sharp edges
  • The ability to snip wire twist ties and plastic zip ties
  • A self-retracting utility blade
  • A mini Philips/slotted screwdriver

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.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Way Over Rated
Ok so I purchased this thing thinking great now I have the best thing ever to open packages. I was pretty dissapointed to the point sometimes I just rather go to my room to get the scissor.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "Open me First" gadget
This seemed like something every household should have, so I bought several - one for my own household, and gifts for others. The thing has something for every one of those annoying tricks used to package things... it will definitely be used. Sturdy scissors for plastic and straps, a sharp knife, and screwdriver (both flat and phillips-head)are contained in one unit and the knife and screwdriver fold back for safety when not in use. A lock keeps the handles together when not in use. However, ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Stab yourself while opening packages
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 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Needs to improve safety lock
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Frustration gone
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.
