Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finger- and Teeth saver!, March 12, 2006

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!

It's about time that someone created a tool such as this to open those tricky plastic packages. The idea is great, but like with so many other things, this tool is difficult to use for those of us who are left-handed. I'd love a left-handed version!

3.0 out of 5 stars wait for it in the dollar stores, May 30, 2006

This review is from: OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener (Kitchen)

I've had this for over a year now and it pretty much works as advertised, but not a lot better than a knife and a pair of scissors. As far as safety goes, it's only slightly safer than using a knife to open, since the openx uses a blade (resembles a box knife) that retracts into the handle to make the first cut so that the package opening blade can be inserted. The products' construction is pretty good, feels solid, hard plastic and a sharp blade.
