Opening clamshell-style plastic packaging can be the ultimate test of patience, strength, and even genius. Eliminate the hassle of fighting with those frustrating seals with help from this clever blister pack/clamshell opener. Designed to slice easily through the otherwise impossible packaging--from consumer electronics and office supplies to toys, cosmetics, fragrances, and more--the unit makes it effortless to neatly and safely dispose of the cumbersome clamshells with the mere touch of a button. Simply remove the tinted plastic safety guard to reveal the unit's razor-sharp roller blades. Firmly gripping the heavy plastic handle, guide the edge of a clamshell or blister package between the durable steel blades while pressing gently on the finger trigger beneath the handle. When arriving at a corner, veer off the edge of the package, rotate it, and continue in the same manner until all four sides release. The compact unit stores easily in a kitchen drawer or toolbox, and it operates on two AA batteries (not included) for cordless convenience and portability. A smart and safe alternative to using scissors and kitchen knives, the blister pack/clamshell opener measures approximately 8 by 4 by 8 inches and carries a 60-day limited warranty.

I just received my Zipit and I was pleasantly surprised to see it did NOT come in a clamshell package. You need 2 AA batteries to use The Zipit. I had to play with it for a minute before getting it to work just right but the included instructions give very good guidance. If I had bothered to read them before trying to use it myself I would have been better off. There are some good tips in there. Once I got it to work, it was FANTASTIC! For a mother who has cut several fingers trying to open those stupid clamshells this was a breath of fresh air. I am actually looking forward to the next clamshell I encounter. One more use that is NOT mentioned in the instructions...when used with the safety cap on you can easily cut open envelopes, even the thicker package envelopes. A nice added bonus.

Love The Zipit! I tried one of the other manual clamshell openers but this is much better. All you do is push a button and let the zipit do all the work. It's like an electric can opener for packages. It is wisely designed in a way that keeps your hand away from the sharp package "shrapnel" so you do not cut your fingers. I can't wait to use this for Christmas!
