Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of HIC Harold Import iSlice Opener
Customer Review: Great, veratile and a different approach
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this item because it qualified for Amazon's 4-3 promotion and literally cost me pennies. But after getting it, I could recommend it on its own merits. It works like no other tool. Unlike scissors, it can cut a section out of the middle of a page. And unlike a razor blade, it can do so without damaging pages underneath. It takes almost no skill to master.
There seems to be some debate on its efficacy when opening plastic packages. It came in a plastic clam shell type package, ironically requiring some sort of tool to extricate it before it could be tested. That left me with a scrap package to test it upon. It does not work on plastic packaging with the same ease as with paper. Instead of an effortless glide, moderate to firm pressure was needed. Had plastic packaging been listed as one of its selling points, I would have downgraded it a star or more. For such packages, I'd consider this a "can be used for" rather than a "well suited for" product.
As for other uses such as coupons, CD/BD/DVD packages, etc., it fills a need that is unmatched by typical products. It can be used for opening envelopes without damaging contents. It works very well on plastic similar in thickness to camera film. You could use it to trim photographs, open shipping boxes from Amazon, and all sorts of things where other tools would be a compromise or a carry potential risk of damaging what's underneath.
Plus, you can stick it to your refrigerator to have it handy, even if it's the type of fridge that magnets often have problems with.
Depending on the price, it might be well worth getting several to give as gifts, especially if the 4-3 deal is available.
Incidentally, if you are looking for something to use specifically to cut coupons, it would be worth getting for that alone.
