"Open It"
This is one of the best products I have ever received... Makes those hard to open plastic packaged items a breeze. It includes the battery compartment screwdriver and a utility knive in the handles. I did have a problem with the connection that holds it together breaking and now a girls pony tail holder has replaced it. I bought numerous for Christmas gifts and will make sure they open it first so they CAN open their other gifts. Highly recommend it for everyone especially our senior citizens whose hands may not work like they want them to.

"Vrey useful indeed"
This is a very well-designed device, and with its extremely sharp blades and comfortable grip, should take enormous hassle and frustration out of opening those thrice-damned sealed clear hard plastic packages so many things come in these days. (It should remove some danger as well, considering how easily one can cut oneself on that plastic while trying to tear one open by brute strength.)

I came very, very close to giving this four stars, because--guess what sort of packaging is used for this device? Yup, that's right... so how do you get it out safely and easily?

Actually, they used less durable plastic than one usually sees, so, since I ordered two, I was able to free one sufficiently to cut out the other effortlessly, and then freed the first the rest of the way. I now look forward to many years of reduced frustration with plastic packaging.

"Such a handy tool"
I used to dread opening up those plastic heat sealed packages. I was always fumbling around trying to cut them with scissors which required too much pressure. This handy device lets me cut through them with ease as well as clip wires, plastic ties, and has a slide out blade to open up those Cd/DVD packages. I like the fact that the slide out blade does not stay locked in the out position, because I would probably accidentally stab myself with it. It also has a handy flip out mini screwdriver with reversible phillips/flat bit.

"Will make life easier"
I love this gadget. It works so much better getting those hard to open packages open and snipping thosed plastic ties that hold everything to the cardboard. I also find it terrific that there is a small screwdriver on it for opening all of those battery covers. I think this will make a wonderful "guy" gift, but the women will use it, too.

"Would like to rate it higher but..."
The knife at the end will not lock in the "out" position. It's still usable, but inconvenient to do so. I do like the tool's ability to quickly slice through the plastic security packaging.
