Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener
Customer Review: INDISPENSABLE, but not for all box cutter (utility knife) applications
Summary: 5 Stars
I love it and am ordering several more to keep in various areas of our home. I reach for this instead of the box cutter ALMOST always (tough, thick jobs require the box cutter) The reason I love the OpenX: The cutting blade protrudes only a fraction when you press the blade lever. This prevents accidentally cutting into the CONTENTS of a box. I have had problems from my box cutter blade inserting too far into packages I wish to open and this has occasionally resulted in accidental injury to the item I ordered. The only way to prevent this with a box cutter is to go very slowly with great control. I have extremely arthritic fingers and such extended control is painful, aside from the fact that pre-arthritis I was in too much of a hurry to go so slowly.
Also useful for cutting open plastic bags in which some mail is sent.
Will even work as a letter opener.
There are numerous other uses I find for it.
For heavier jobs like cutting open the thick tough plastic clam shell casing of many electronic items, etc., I prefer the Open It! tool which is like a strong pair of scissors designed for such a purpose. I have much more control with Open It! than I have with a box cutter. Good description with photos of Open It! at Amazon: [...]
I still use a box cutter for cutting pieces of cardboard, or cutting cartons to change their size, etc.
Description of OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener
OpenX is the original Universal Dual Blade Package opener designed to open those difficult plastic packages along with most every type of package. Great for boxes, express envelopes, shrink wrap on water bottles, pill containers, snack bags and more! The unique dual blade design allows you to use the retractable blade to pierce the plastic and then insert the hook of OpenX to Push and Slide to Get Inside. The retractable blade is short so when cutting open boxes, you won't cut the contents inside.Cook's Tools & Gadgets
