Amazon.com Product Description

Four-in-One Universal Package Opener lets you easily open clamshells, toy packaging, boxes, battery compartments, and more.

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.

4 out of 5 stars Great for opening annoying packages   October 20, 2009
Steve D (West Chester, PA)
This Zibra is great for opening up those clam shell packages or any sort of high resistance material. The downside is that the little screwdriver head always falls out of mine.

This is my go to tool when I have to open up a box (razor blade attachment works) or a plastic shell package (angled scissors) or lastly if I need to open up a game or movie (razor blade attachment).

The lock on the Zibra holds very strong and doesn't look to fail anytime soon. Solidly built except for the fact that the screwdriver bit included seems a hair too skinny as it's falling out after you open a few packages.

I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a better solution to opening packages than using traditional scissors.



1 out of 5 stars Expect it to break and stop working quickly   October 4, 2009
Leslie PJ (Silver Spring, MD United States)
The Zibra worked fine to start with -- not the easiest tool to use, since it's akin to using garden shears to open a box, but adequate. Then the flimsy plastic piece that allowed you to keep it closed broke. That made it difficult to impossible to use the razor or screwdriver because they're awkward to use when it's scissored open. Now the blades have gotten too much play in them and it doesn't even cut packages well -- I think the plastic casing is just too flimsy. It's an ordeal trying to saw it through each package. I just ordered a new cutter from a different brand -- I'll see if that works better.


4 out of 5 stars Best Most versatile Cutter   September 28, 2009

I have a grave yard containing several cutters. This one has survived and excelled the tests. I recommend it.

1 out of 5 stars Broke on first use   July 29, 2009
M. Maw (Laguna Niguel,CA USA)
Cheaply made and poor quality. Defective. Opening an ordinary plastic wrapped package, the handles opening too far, and the blades would no longer cut in scissor style. Disassembled and got it working again, at least for the moment, but that should not be necessary. Avoid this product.


1 out of 5 stars don't bother   July 2, 2009

after a little use, the blades have too much play and make it difficult to cut anything. the "lock" that closes the handles will also stop working at about this same time...and then "pop" you have an open pair of blades in your toolbox, which is never safe. Pick up a pair of Aviation Snips...they will open those packages with ease in no time flat and they will last you a lifetime
