The product sent was counterfeit of original product.

This is a good safe parcel and wrap cutter. I use it much more for the blunt metal 'blade' at the top for opening parcels than for the protected wrap cutter. A great tool, but I can't help thinking that this should be cheaper, regardless of brand. I've had about three of these now, replacing when lost.

Muy buena opción de herramienta, el filo de la cuchilla es extraordinario, a mi me sirve mucho para abrir cajas y cortar flejes. Muy recomendado

Não cortou bem nem mesmo no primeiro uso. Ele é grosso e tem um design que dificulta em muito a sua utilização. Um canivete é muito mais versátil e dá de dez a zero nele.

Primarily use this at work as a grocery stocker. Safe design means I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it somewhere that a kid or vandal can get ahold of and hurt somebody. Tape cutter blade works well on tape after some practice. The dull blade means its less likely to damage product within the packaging, but it can still score plastics, papers, and carboard if not careful. Hook blade works especially well on plastic wrap, both on the packages themselves and super effective when unwrapping a pallet of goods. The nose tip of one of my openers broke off and has a more rounded profile, this made it less effective at piercing plastic wrap but made it less likely to snag on products such as wrapped flats of soda. Blade material seems common steel, or at least the same kind of steel seen on razor blades. Rust prevention is low grade, and will rust when exposed to decent amount of moisture, but this does not significantly hinder use for cutting open tape and plastic wrap (it does however make it difficult to cut cardboard). Factory sharpness can easily slice through cardboard, but can dull easily. Blade has a tendency to collect bits of tape once dull, and can't be sharpened or replaced since its effectively cast into the handle itself. However, the lost cost of the tool makes up for the limitations of the blade.

I enjoyed the first one enough that I ordered it again after I lost the first one. I use it in kitchens unpacking products and keep it in my pocket. It has become as important to me as my thermometer.
