 A word of caution... February 15, 2008

First, I gave this two stars so it would get more visibility. The product works great, but...
The latch that locks the handles together can be mistaken for the button which deploys the cutting blade. If you make this mistake while holding the tool, it is possible to cut you hand or wrist badly. I consider this a serious design flaw. I would not let children use this tool, and I am extra careful not to repeat my original mistake.
 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.
WOW!! Finally...a package opener that actually works! December 6, 2007

I ordered this after reading reviews on Amazon. I was still a bit skeptical, but was excited to try it nonetheless.
I conveniently had several plastic clamshell packaged items that I had purchased, but had been too frustrated to try to open to test the tool on.
I was thrilled with the results! It quickly and efficiently clipped off the edge of the packages, leaving the contents--including the printed materials insdie--100% intact. I left all of the items in their packages to show my husband when he got home. He was mildly impressed (tough crowd). I, however, am a lifetime fan and will be buying several for Christmas gifts.
Also...mine came black instead of the advertised orange. I consider this a bonus. :)
 Safety could be an issue February 10, 2008

We've had the product for two months and were quite happy with it until today when the safety latch broke off. We could see it was pretty weak plastic compared to the rest of the product. Now the blades cannot be locked shut when in storage. Disappointing because we really liked the Open It.
Give me an opener that works... July 16, 2008

...because this one doesn't. I've had it for about 6 months and never could get it to work very well. The light plastic clamshells it makes decent work of, but try opening the ones with slightly thicker plastic. The first cut into the package might be easy and then it gets difficult. And I had the cutter blades dinged up in no time. From cutting plastic packaging? Yes. Which tells me the metal is soft, cheap quality. Also, note that the clasp that holds the handles closed is too loose and flimsy. Often when you're cutting it jiggles closed and locks the handles together, which is extremely frusterating. Last night my wife made the mistake of cutting some lightweight wire with this tool. Which bent the blades out of alignment now so it won't close. I threw it in the trash without any remorse. The bottom line is that this is a cheaply made piece of junk and it's not a big loss.
