StuffIt Expander Editor's Review

Download the free Aladdin Stuffit Expander for Mac (included with Mac OS X 10.0-10.3, but not with 10.4). Newer versions of Stuffit Expander will also open Mac files that have been zipped (.zip) Mac OS X downloads may also be formatted as OS X Disk Images (.dmg). RAR Expander is a lightweight and open source Mac app distributed under GPL license for extracting files from RAR archives. Although there are many alternatives for unarchiving files, RAR Expander enables you to also work with multi-part archives and password-protected RAR files.

Expand your archive files with this handy Mac utility.

Nearly everyone knows that computing means working with archive files such as ZIP, RAR and TAR files. Having a good 'unzipping' app is important no matter what operating system you use. This is why I really like Stuff-it Expander for Mac. It’s a fast, efficient archive utility for your Mac; and it works with the latest OS X versions.

Stuffit Expander has been redesigned for better performance. It expands all of your compressed and encoded files; and access any file, any download or email attachment. It will also scan your compressed files for viruses.

Conclusion: Stuff-It Expander is a good decompressing utility. Though OS X has a decent stock tool, it isn't as fast or efficient as Stuff-It Expander. The tool is wicked fast, and handled just about any and every type of archive that I threw at it. The app was easily installed, and worked well. If you're looking for a better than stock tool, this is a really great choice.
