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.

Zibra ZPCOPEN-OR Open It Universal Package Opener
After half a century of living, I'm not easily impressed, but I know I will be using this super-handy opener constantly. I received mine yesterday, tried it out on a hard clamshell package of inkjet cartridges, and I am delighted! It was effortless to use on that tough package and I couldn't wait to write a review and let everyone know it works great! I couldn't be more pleased with this universal package opener! I'm going to purchase another to keep in the car to open cd cases and other packages, another for my desk drawer, and several more to give as gifts. With Christmas coming soon, now is a great time to buy this item, especially for anyone with arthritis or fibromyalgia. (I can't imagine being a parent trying to open numerous clamshell packages, one after another!)
If you've ever tried to get a toy out of a package in a hurry while the child waits (think Barbie), or been in a hurry to get an ink cartridge out of a clamshell while the boss or a customer paces while waiting for a printout, or tried to open child proof blister packs of medicine with arthritic hands, then you know why this tool will be handy! It is very well-designed, ergonomic, and effortless to use. It is especially wonderful for anyone with arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendinitis, tennis elbow or carpal tunnel. The package indicates it will cut, snip, slice and unscrew just about any package. Cut it: Hard plastic clamshells, blisters, cardboard, paper; Snip it: Tooy packaging, twist ties, zip ties, straps; Slice it: Boxes, cds, dvds, plastic wraps; Unscrew it: Open battery compartments and more using the interchangeable philips and flat screwdrivers.
It has several safety features including a latch to keep it closed when not in use, and the utility blade feature will automatically retract if you stop pressing and holding the button to keep the blade extended. The package warns to keep it out of the reach of children. (Better yet, don't let them see you use it since kids learn by watching and imitating behaviors.)
I just can't say enough good things about this universal package opener; I give it my highest recommendation without reservation. This is a heavy duty tool designed by women that should serve me well for years to come.

This is the best product of its type. I have several open-x devices, but this one is much better, particularly when there are wires to be cut. Before I got this, I was using a professional wire cutter for that, but for simple packaging, this works just as well and is easier to keep around in the kitchen drawer without worrying about it.
It has a little blade that pops out, and a safety button to stop it from popping out unexpectedly. It even has a flip out screwdriver for opening battery compartments of children's toys (I guess they make them like that so they can't eat the batteries).
The best feature, however, is the wire cutter at the front. It is offset, so it easily slips behind the toy and cut the wires that bind them to the packaging. It can also cut through the seemingly impervious plastic bubble packs everything seems to be in these days. And, when finished, the handles lock shut for easy storage. Brightly colored so it won't get easily lost, too.
If you have a child waiting not so patiently for you to get the Barbie out of the pack, you'll really appreciate having this around.
I really like this, and highly recommend it!
At long last, a real package opening solution December 20, 2007

I hate plastic wraps. I'd love to boycott them, but then I'd be unable to purchase most electronic and photo gear.
Zibra OpenIt! is the practically perfect solution to dealing with plastic wraps and more. It is an all-in-one solution to dealing with modern packaging.
The form factor is relatively large, in the general shape of garden shears. The snipping jaws, which are the heart of the instrument, are thick and cleverly designed. Small enough to allow you to attack any modern plastic wrap, no matter how bizarre the design, while strong enough to slice through any commonly used plastic.
The genius of the product is the provision of the relatively large, spring-loaded handles. You can get more than adequate leverage with only minimal exertion. This makes cutting through any plastic packaging an easy task. What a total delight!
The snips can also be used to easily cut through the wire or plastic wraps used in all too many packages.
Also included is a reversible screwdriver bit for opening the battery compartments on toys. It has both slotted and phillips bits. Be sure to push the bit all the way into its holder to avoid loss.
There is also a handy razor that you can extend from the handle to slice through tape or things like the wrap on CDs and DVDs. It does not appear to be replaceable, which is a minor drawback.
There is also a catch is provided to close the unit and keep the blade closed.
Overall, this is beautifully designed tool that no household should be without.

At last, a GREAT package opener! November 15, 2007

I'm not easily impressed with a lot of products, but I know I will be getting a lot of use out of this super-handy opener. After receiving this product, my husband tried opening one of those stubborn plastic packages! My husband has nerve damage in his right arm and hand, but he could use it with no problem! It was effortless to use on those tough packages! It works great! It is well designed! I have some arthritis in my hand and I couldn't wait to try it! I had no problem using it at all! I couldn't be more pleased with this universal package opener!
I agree with the other review, that with Christmas coming soon, now is a great time to buy this item, especially for anyone with arthritis or fibromyalgia, or any other physical handicap that makes opening packages a chore! I won't go into detail, as the other review says it all!
I also can't say enough good things about this universal package opener; I give it my highest recommendation. This is a heavy duty tool designed by women that should serve anyone well for years to come. It took women to make something that makes sense and actually works!

This one actually works! December 6, 2007

I have bought a couple of others and have not been coordinated enough to actually get them to work. This one actually works. It has the retractrable knife, the screwdrivers as well as the huge sheers. It could be dangerous but it does have a safety lock. A very good buy.
