    I bought one of these openers years ago:

    We keep it in the gadget drawer in the kitchen. Makes opening clamshell packaging real easy.

  2. There's a cheap solution to this by Krishnoid · · Score: 2, Informative · on Amazon Launches "Frustration-Free Packaging"

    I heard this product mentioned elsewhere. It's inexpensive enough that I'm thinking of buying one and asking a cashier to keep it under their counter at a local electronics store I frequent.

    Or this item, which I think was available just in time for a couple christmas's ago. I bet they could make the blade in this device out of the superstrong plastic though.

    the thicker and even stronger stuff that small electronic devices like CF drives come in. I once broke a pair of scissors trying to cut one of those open. I am surprised some smart lawyer doesn't do a class action lawsuit against the manufacturers of that sort of packaging - there must be lost of people who have injured themselves trying open these packages. Just get one of these.. seriously. My mom actually bought a bunch of them for everyone in the family. Makes opening those damn things a snap now.

    I actually get mad when I can't find the damn thing and have one of those plastic packages to open.

    I've broken scissors too. Never again! Never again!

  9. Using them for storage by ImaLamer · · Score: 1 · on Plastic Packages Cause Injuries, Revolt

    What about the situations where you need to store the item in the provided clamshell?

    In my case I had bought a 10 pack of compact fluorescent light bulbs and only used 5 or 6 right away. Since there isn't a way to store them, like an egg container for light bulbs, I had to keep them in the clamshell. Well, since you can't cut right through it, only at the edges, I had to wedge my hand in each time to get to them.

    No problem until I was down to the last 3. They were in the bottom of my clamshell envelope, if you will, so I dug in. Oddly, the super reinforced edges broke and instead of the shell being connected on three sides it was now connected on just one, the bottom. Of course, the three bulbs just fell out.

    Mind you, this happened in the matter of seconds. I found myself staring at my feet (which are usually protected with shoes) surrounded by microscopic shards of glass. A few pieces were the size of a human hair. I'm still convinced I may have a piece of CFL glass lodged in my bloodstream somewhere.

    You can see a similar package here oddly enough:

    I have one of the OpenX cutters mentioned on page two of the articles, and it does not work very well for me. Anyone get one of these to work?

    You know overpackaging of consumer electronics is bad when you can buy a special implement specifically designed to open it.

    (I have one of these. It's well worth $5. I don't work for the company though.)
