The OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener Review

The OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener opens many types of packaging including plastic tape, plastic wrap, clamshells and cardboard cartons. It is a simple tool with a retractable blade for piercing through the plastic and a sliding blade which you use to slit open the package and which keeps your hands safe while you do so.

I really do like my OpenX. The reviews on Amazon are a bit mixed and I strongly encourage you to read them all by clicking right here. Despite what one reviewer said, I find my OpenX far easier to use than scissors or a knife. I am unqualified to speak to how easy or hard this item is to use for a left-handed individual but one reviewer does say that he found it difficult so that might be a consideration for you if you are left-handed.

As one Amazon customer said, "It works exactly as advertised - and for a very reasonable price - what is there to complain about? You can't buy a knife and a pair of scissors for a whole lot less." I agree plus, I don't know about you, but my success opening those clam shell cases with my scissors was not great (nor was it pretty) and the thought of taking a knife to one is just plain scary.

So be prepared, this tool is not a miracle worker. You are still going to have to work patiently and calmly with it and the clamshell packaging. However, I do think it is easier and safer than the alternative methods. The hardest part at our household is keeping it where it can be found when we need it!

I always highly recommend the Amazon customer reviews. In the case of the OpenX, you will find that it is not a perfect tool but that it is definitely a helpful one.

Amazon customer A. Lubarsky called it a great stocking stuffer and he was right. If you do present this tool in this manner, make sure you label it 'Open Me First.' For such a handy gadget, it really is reasonably priced.

Customer Dievendorf said quite rightly that this tool can be used for opening many items but what it does best is deal with "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."
