Slinks: Zibra Packaging Scissors

Avoid the discomfort that using regular scissors on indestructable electronics packaging brings. The Zibra scissors have a special blade and offset handle to keep your fingers clear of sharp plastic.

Or just use a pocket knife. Way better than scissors, and you don't have to buy anything extra.

The Open It! is a multi-functioning tool and cutting through hard plastic packages is only one feature. This tool was designed by women consumers who were tired of struggling with difficult-to-open packaging, as a result, it has everything needed to open any package safely, easily and conveniently! The angular jaws keep the hard plastic from gouging into your skin - preventing injury. The jaws cut hard plastic packaging and snip those frustrating twist and zip ties, the retractable utility knife opens up boxes, CDs and DVDs and the small dual head screwdriver opens up battery compartments. The Open It! is the cure to package wrap rage. If you want to learn more go to www.wrapragecure.com!

The featured item from Zibra is called the Open It! Universal Package Opener. They are dramatically different from scissors - uniquely designed jaws to cut through tough plastic packaging and designed to keep the sharp plastic away from your hands while cutting. Then there are the other features - check them out at http://www.enjoyzibra.com/openit/

As one of the women who helped to design this product, I can tell you that I've tried every other tool out there. The "Open It" by far out performs them all (even the steak knife that I used to use). I keep one in my car-because busy moms kind of live out of their cars and the one I use the most has a special place in my junk drawer in the kitchen. I'm looking forward to a Christmas morning without sore fingertips and cut up hands! Yey Zibra!!!
