A packing box with a built-in box-cutter. What could possibly go wrong?
What about being refused passage aboard just about anything? Or the fact that you’re sending a dangerous weapon through the mail? Or the environmental issues of adding a shard of steel to each and every box, ready to be tossed away by recipients with and without their own box-cutter? I could go on.
In fact, I will.
What about the hole in the top of the box which lets you grab and rip out the tool, but also lets packing peanuts out and dust and and water in? Or the fact that a few routing bashes in normal transit will – inevitably – cause a naked blade to peek out of its cardboard nest and slice off the postman’s finger?
I receive more than my fair share of parcels in the mail in the course of my awesome job, and I use the tool that God meant us to use for opening up taped-shut cardboard boxes: the biggest, sharpest key on my keychain.
