Great Find!

Has anyone ever been totally frustrated having had trouble opening those tough plastic display packages (clamshels) that some things come in like batteries, drill bits, label makers, flashlights, etc.? Getting those twist ties and plastic tie bands off of things like electric cords on small appliances, electronics, etc.?

Are you as sick and tired as I am of dealing with the aggravating hassles of trying to get past those skin-tight wrappers and security tapes that are on the jewel boxes of DVD's, CD's, boxes and other things?

What about those small screws that secure the the covers on battery compartments of things like children's battery-operated toys?

Well, here's a tool that will help get you past all that crap in a snap and make life a little bit easier. The OpenIt!.

I bought one and love it so much that I bought another one for the Kitchen as well! It is made by Zibra, the same co. that makes kitchen gadgets. I got it at Walgreens.

Go here to see it and see what it can and will do;

Zibra Open It! - Easy to Use Package Opener .

Yes!

Trust me when I say this, but, that it REALLY IS worth its weight in gold.

It definitely puts an end to the aggravating and tormenting struggle of trying to get those tough plastic packages open! No more fighting with them.

We have something that is much smaller and has a tiny magnet so I have it on the fridge. Got it years ago at the Container Store. Love it!

I have a little gadget that cuts through the wrapper on CD's, but I can't finf it.

It's around here somewhere, but I'm not looking for it because I'll get aggravated searching and can't find it.

The Openit! solves that problem anyway by opening most things! It's a godsend because it cuts right
through those clamshell packages with the greatest of ease!

No more cutting your fingers off either. When you that plastic with scissors it leaves really sharp edges.

Yeah, the scissors, in and of itself, is very sharp. It somehow dulls the cut surfaces of those plastic clamsells so that there is much less danger of getting a nasty cut on your hands or fingers.

Much like the safety can openers do with the lids of opened cans of food. It's really a work saver!
