How to Open Tough Packages

April 7, 2011

Whenever I visit Manila I have a list of stores that I always visit. And one of these stores is True Value. It’s my first love when it comes to home accessories, gizmos and gadgets. So please allow me to bore you with my latest finds in the next few days.

The truth is my in-laws are in town and I too busy to write my usual full-fledged posts so I’m gonna a lot of short posts for a while. =P Thank you for your patience and sorry to my blogger friends if I haven’t visited/commented on your posts for a while!I finally started using this today and I love how handy it is in opening anything and everything. Presenting the Open X Package Opener!

I know, I know! Why not just use scissors? When it comes to opening those tough thick plastic packages, I hate using my scissors because it totally ruins them. And yes I am the type to keep my scissors sharp by using different scissors for different things (paper, cloth, tape, etc.). Most of my scissors are even coated with teflon so that if ever they are used on items with adhesives like tape, they don’t get ruined. So suffice to say I can be really finicky with my scissors.

Now I don’t need to ruin any more scissors! This opener is so tough that it can quickly and easily open the most stubborn plastic packaging (y’know the really hard ones) with no worries of damaging it!  All I need to do is:

  1. Use the retractable blade to make a small slit in the packaging
  2. Insert the point and push so the blade slices the packaging easily! (so much easier than struggling to cut with scissors!)

I purchased Open X from True Value Powerplant Mall Rockwell for P 270 or about 6 USD.
