Product Description
OpenX is the original Universal Dual Blade Package opener designed to open those difficult plastic packages along with most every type of package. Great for boxes, express envelopes, shrink wrap on water bottles, pill containers, snack bags and more! The unique dual blade design allows you to use the retractable blade to pierce the plastic and then insert the hook of OpenX to Push and Slide to Get Inside. The retractable blade is short so when cutting open boxes, you won't cut the contents inside.

1. It comes in one the very packages (not Amazon, but the product packaging itself) where you would use this very device to open. So, to solve the problem of these stupid blister packs, it ships in a.... blister pack.
2. The button that slides out the spring-loaded razor blade can only be operated with your right hand (ergonomically). It calls itself a "Universal Package Opener", but it's not ambidextrous. It was tree-fiddy, so it's not like I'm out a lot of money.
The letter-opener style fixed blade is usable by either hand, although the slide button for the retractable blade is under your palm (near the index finger) if the product is properly indexed in the hand (for lefties).
Interesting concept, mediocre execution.
Make about a 3/4" slice with the small blade then hook in the larger one. The trick to it, and the hardest part too, is to hook into only ONE layer of plastic. On some packages this is easiest on the "bubble" part of the package, not an edge. After that, its very easy to use. If you need to get documentation out, it's then much easier to get that single layer near the edges after you've cut out the item from the bubble. Neatness does not have to count.
I've had three of these and eventually lost or misplaced two. On this last one, I broke the plastic on it's "lower jaw" after two or three years of use and abuse, but it seemed to be starting to getting dull anyway. After all, it's basically just utility knife blades in a fancy handle and they all will eventually get dull. It's still usable but not as safely, so I am ordering a couple more. Fortunately they're pretty cheap and well worth the price.
