About five months ago I wrote about the Zipit Opener, which is a battery-powered doodad that helps you open plastic packaging.

I didn’t think too highly of the Zipit, but now that some time has gone by and I’ve used it more, I thought I’d do a follow up.

Unfortunately the Zipit still isn’t very good as I would like, but I have found a few ways to make it perform better. Check it out.
