Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of HIC Harold Import iSlice Opener
Customer Review: Great coupon clipper!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm one of those shoppers who loves to "play the game." By this I mean, I love to see how much I can save using coupons when I shop. This product is a great time-saver when it comes to "clipping" coupons. I love it and recommend it highly to all my "coupon-clipping" friends.Customer Review: Great timesaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great idea! If you're a coupon clipper this is a must have! It's so fast and easy to use that it makes clipping fun! The only downside is that you'll need something to cut on but even an old newspaper will work. Because it's so small and magnetic, it's on my refrigerator where it's easy to find. I'm planning to buy a few to give to my coupon-clipping friends! By the way, it's also great for cutting those hard-to-open, clamshell-packaged items!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.

Summary: 5 Stars
iSlice Opener. This is the greatest little tool. It cuts through one sheet of newspaper without making a mess of the rest of the paper and great for coupons too. It cuts straight. I had purchased a 3M paper cutting tool at the drugstore and it never worked. I liked this one so much that I bought another for my office.Customer Review: Handy Item
Summary: 4 Stars
Use this little item to open light plastic packages. I just used it to cut packing tape after I taped the box closed. Would be nice if the ceramic blade was to stick out a little more so it would cut heavier plastic packaging. Use it often.
