This Tool is great and if you use it you will know how important is it.but i gave it 4 Stars for the quality because it should be more strong and more Quality.but after all it is Great.
It's terrific. Over its life, it will probably save at least one suture job on your hand from opening tough plastic packages. Every home should have one or two.
But for home, I already own items that work just fine. But I have a heavy duty pair of scissors that will do the same thing, not to mention a real pair of shears that will cut metal wire.Bottom line: This does work, but you may already own items that will work just as well.
So why did I give it only four stars. A friend suggested that I buy this product to open those annoying clamshell packages, which this product does do.
There is also has a non-replaceable utility knife blade that I found more difficult to use than the simple and inexpensive utility knives that can be found in any hardware store.The shears at the top did work just as promised and sliced through some thick clamshells. Here's why.First, this product has "gimmicks" that have nothing to do with opening packages.
There is a bottle opener at the top and a reversible screw driver at the end of one of the handles, though to reverse the heads I needed a pair of pliers from my toolbox, and once my toolbox was open I had lots of screwdrivers, so this feature is not that useful, not to mention that the screwdriver is very short so it is not easy to apply torque. I decided to keep this in my office and use it for packages that I receive there.
So before you rush out and buy this, just check around your house to make sure you really need it.
very excited to order this item, as i purchase many things form amazon that require special tools to open items. the scissors really do not cut well at all. this was very promising. though when used in practice, it falls short of expectations and ease of use. you really have to work at cutting open plastic packaging. removing the covers on the end of the handles are dangerous as all of sudden a very sharp albeit small blade is exposed and more than once have i almost cut my self.
So glad I picked this and so is he. I got this for my husband this Christmas and I'll admit, I've used it more than he has. It works so quick and easy and it's comfortable to hold. No more struggling for twenty minutes trying to open those funny plastic containers. Sweet.
