Tools and Hardware Reviews of Zibra ZPCOPEN-OR Open It Universal Package Opener
Customer Review: A word of caution...
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Almost perfect!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased two of these Openers at Christmas, one for my husband and one for my father. They both seem to enjoy them thoroughly. Two small issues I noticed though: don't like the utility knife - having to hold it open all the time (quickly get thumb fatigue) and the built in screwdriver is a bit weak (tends to fold on itself). But I purchased it for its cutting capabilities, not the screwdriver, so it is not a big deal. The main cutter is great, so overall I would recommend the opener.Customer Review: At last, a GREAT package opener!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not easily impressed with a lot of products, but I know I will be getting a lot of use out of this super-handy opener. After receiving this product, my husband tried opening one of those stubborn plastic packages! My husband has nerve damage in his right arm and hand, but he could use it with no problem! It was effortless to use on those tough packages! It works great! It is well designed! I have some arthritis in my hand and I couldn't wait to try it! I had no problem using it at all! I couldn't be more pleased with this universal package opener!
I agree with the other review, that with Christmas coming soon, now is a great time to buy this item, especially for anyone with arthritis or fibromyalgia, or any other physical handicap that makes opening packages a chore! I won't go into detail, as the other review says it all!
I also can't say enough good things about this universal package opener; I give it my highest recommendation. This is a heavy duty tool designed by women that should serve anyone well for years to come. It took women to make something that makes sense and actually works!

Customer Review: At long last, a real package opening solution
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate plastic wraps. I'd love to boycott them, but then I'd be unable to purchase most electronic and photo gear.
Zibra OpenIt! is the practically perfect solution to dealing with plastic wraps and more. It is an all-in-one solution to dealing with modern packaging.
The form factor is relatively large, in the general shape of garden shears. The snipping jaws, which are the heart of the instrument, are thick and cleverly designed. Small enough to allow you to attack any modern plastic wrap, no matter how bizarre the design, while strong enough to slice through any commonly used plastic.
The genius of the product is the provision of the relatively large, spring-loaded handles. You can get more than adequate leverage with only minimal exertion. This makes cutting through any plastic packaging an easy task. What a total delight!
The snips can also be used to easily cut through the wire or plastic wraps used in all too many packages.
Also included is a reversible screwdriver bit for opening the battery compartments on toys. It has both slotted and phillips bits. Be sure to push the bit all the way into its holder to avoid loss.
There is also a handy razor that you can extend from the handle to slice through tape or things like the wrap on CDs and DVDs. It does not appear to be replaceable, which is a minor drawback.
There is also a catch is provided to close the unit and keep the blade closed.
Overall, this is beautifully designed tool that no household should be without.

Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nifty tool. It opens plastic packages very easily. I like that the plastic slides through the little hole so you can continue cutting without stopping to cut off the excess. It also has a little screwdriver and blade. Also very handy, but I wish that the blade was able to be replaced! I would buy this if I were you!
