DISQUS

Fazal Majid · 2 years ago

I have one. Save your money, it's not very effective because the front tip is too big to be maneuvrable.

What I found to be the best solution to this problem is the cutting hook in the Leatherman Wave XTI. Punch a hold with the blade, slide the hook in and just pull to rip the clamshell apart.

Let me guess, the clamshell opener is packed in a plastic clamshell.

Personally i never had problems opening up those clamshell packages with kitchen knifes. The thing that drives me crazy though, is that i dont have a kitchenknife with me when i just bought a gadget in a store, which leads me to using my teeth because: who wants to wait opening up what they just bought?

Mark: No joke. According to the ThinkGeek link: "Product comes in clam shell packaging"

O_o

Good kitchen scissors works great.

This product reminds me of the "AS SEEN ON TV" product that was recently on commercial. It is a square tool with the same blade that cuts these darn packages. It was selling for about $25 (S+H included), but it came in 2 pack and 2 bonus things.

I have one, it works OK, but for $11 the 'Zibra Open It' is MUCH better (plus, it comes in different colors!)
