Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener
Customer Review: Finally, the perfect package opener...
Summary: 5 Stars
This little wonder is used all the time. Last Christmas I bought about 10 of these for stocking stuffers. I kept two for myself to use at home and work. I use them to open up cardboard boxes, packages in the mail, the foil on the top of pill boxes and peanut butter, and to cut through all kinds of tape. But what this really excels at is opening those horrible plastic blister packs. You just make a small slit in the plastic packaging with the pop out razor blade, then stick the plastic point into the slit and run the OpenX around the edge of the packaging. There is no need to worry about cutting your fingers while trying to open plastic packaging. I will always have one of these around. Nothing better to have during Christmas and birthday present time.
My only complaint is that it comes in the same plastic packaging it was created to open.
Customer Review: Finger- and Teeth saver!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great tool to open those impossible-to-open jewelboxes that all the electronic gadgets come in. Spares you getting your fingers cut, your teeth broken, not to mention the frustration involved in reaching the product. Originally I read the review on similar tools by David Pogue of the New York Times who mentioned the Dual-X. This tool has 2 blades that enbale you first to slit the package and then get the rest of the job done MUCH better than scissors, knives or perhaps, in desperation, hammers!Customer Review: Frustration Fighter
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate getting products in strong, awkward hard plastic containers. There is no easy way to open them. I have tried knives, screwdrivers, chisels, and scissors. For me it is tough to open them without damaging the product inside.
Then I heard about the "OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener." It is not expensive so I thought it was likely a scam. I mean those packages are tough. How could a device so simple and cheap do the job?
It actually works! Now I wonder why I didn't think of it and invent the thing - I could have funded my retirement. Well my frustration is down and I can now order products and not worry how they are packaged. I recommend this product.
I rate it high because of the frustration relief.
Customer Review: Good idea. Don't work as Expected.

I always have to struggle with plastic package, admitting the strength of my hands is below average. Why don't people invent an easier-to-open plastic package? There is always a risk of cutting my hands with those cut-up plastic.
I'm disappointed to find that this tool doesn't make it any easier than a pair of long scissors, which is already awkward enough. Punching a slid in the package can cause accidents if I were not careful. Pushing the blades through the plastic is also hard work.
Perhaps it's for people with strong hands. But then, I imagine a pair of long scissors is good enough for them???
Customer Review: Great product!

I read about this product in Good Housekeeping magazine and immediately went online to see where I could purchase one. When I found it here and at a great price, I ordered several: one for myself and the others for family members as Christmas gifts. They and I all love it!
