 Would like to rate it higher but... September 4, 2008
The knife at the end will not lock in the "out" position. It's still usable, but inconvenient to do so. I do like the tool's ability to quickly slice through the plastic security packaging.
 What a great gift item... August 30, 2008
I picked this up on the recommendation of Instapundit, and it is a great find! All of those (incredibly silly) plastic clear-paks are now a very small annoyance; and I think I have found a a really good give-away item as a seasonal gift for friends and customers - inexpensive and extremely useful!
 So many uses August 29, 2008
Friend had one which I used, and then orderd 5 for gifts. There are so many ways this has come in handy - not only the perfect way to open those horribly-wrapped plastic packages, but it also cuts through small branches on trees as if they were soft butter. It has also other tools in the handles. Love this opener!
 READ ALL AMAZON REVIEWS, THEN.... August 18, 2008

I find amazon.com customer reviews the most helpful on the web, but this is one time I will disagree with the majority. Maybe it depends on how you use it, but I found this item to be cheap and awful.
Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but it comes with alot of problems:
1. The clippers simply DO NOT work. I tried them on an average plastic packaging (headphones) and not only could they not break the plastic, the clipper edges wouldn't even meet! I was astounded by how bad this was.
2. The cutter is fine - but no better than one for 2 bucks at Home Depot - and the whole unit must be locked up to use it, which is awkward.
3. The item itself is not ergonomic. It is unclear to me why it must be so big, and it did not even fit in a large coffee mug (and I mean LARGE) with some pens as to keep it handy.
Finally, the clippers broke and I threw it out.
I regret this purchase.
Good for more than just opening clamshells..... August 11, 2008

The secret to this tool is the offset blades; this allows you to cut any size package without the handles getting in the way.
The blades are very sharp and cut through the plastic very quickly.
I keep these in our kitchen junk drawer; my spouse uses them to cut flower stems before putting them in a vase.
I've never used the screwdriver; I think this was a "throw-in" to make it more attractive ("Honey, look, it's also a screwdriver").
This may seem to be a frivolous tool, but I think it is worth every penny.
