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.

What's in the Box
Zibra Open It! Four-in-One Universal Package Opener

Worthy of design awards? Hardly.
I purchased several of these for my husband, dad, brother and brothers-in-law who all love the latest gadgets. While it serves a purpose, it is not the wonder tool I expected. A good pair of utility scissors can cut through packaging better. You can pinch your hand between the handles while cutting. The release of the utility knife is too similar to the lever used to open the cutting blades, so you can cut yourself if you are not careful. The screwdriver in the handle is a handy addition. Since this tool won design and product innovation awards, I had high hopes, but it just doesn't live up to the hype.

I love this thing.
I gave these out as Christmas presents and kept one for myself. I just love it, I always hated those clam shell packages but this thing makes short work of them. The box cutter and screw drivers are nice extras but it's the ease of opening clam shell packages that make this tool worth the price.

Best in its class
This is a must for Christmas or birthdays. I can't count how many times someone yelled "Where's the Open-It??" over the holidays! The razor blade feature makes it really unique!

Got kids? You need this on Christmas morning
On Christmas Eve, we didn't have it. We struggled to open some gifts for my daughter, and encountered several of the wire twist ties that the toy manufacturers seem to use liberally.

This thing arrived in my stocking on Christmas morning, and the help it provided was like the difference between night and day. Similarly packaged toys opened in a snap, including easy cutting of those twist ties.

The only concern I'd have is that although it's most useful for toys, it's not particularly kid-friendly. The sharp blades and extractable razor mean it should be kept out of reach. Still, it does have a safety lock and the razor stays in its retracted position until moved out with your thumb, so it's not unsafe. You'll just want to make sure you know where it's sitting when there's a toddler around.

Good product, and a great stocking stuffer.
