It can also handle filenames in foreign character sets, created with non-English versions of other operating systems. Supported file formats include zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, rar, 7zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other more or less obscure formats. ... More info »

The Unarchiver feels more like an extension of Archive Utility than a standalone extractor app. It's minimal, and stays in the background. Just extract your files, and you're done. You won't even notice it's there. I like that. :D

So much better than UnRarX that I was using. The unarchiver allows you to extract to a folder by default, and then to automatically open that folder. That is a huge time and effort saver for me!
