EponymTamper resistant packages
I've used knives, I've used scissors to get those damned sealed clamshell packages open. Tamper-resistant?! Shit. I had to use my miter saw once on an especially difficult package.
I may try the
Zibra Open It! mentioned by 83v45magna, above.

LOL, I've had the exact same thought! I absolutely hate those things.

Scooter123IMO the only solution to this problem is Class Action Lawsuits, very LARGE Class Action Lawsuits. Because I am quite certain that a lot of folks have seriously injured themselves trying to open this packaging.
I've stopped counting.

tjcjAs to the squeeze to open bottles, mouthwash, dishwasher soap, etc. cut the tabs off the lid. Only have to do it once if you remember to transfer the lid to the new bottle. I usually forget.

NK402With OTC meds like cold and flu meds, the child-proof packaging is so difficult to open, I have to get help from my grandkids.

They’ll say “it’s for child protection” and that’ll be that. It’s fucking ridiculous like everything else these days.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

cparktdI saw a tool advertised as made just for opening those damn packages.
Seriously, it actually came packaged that way itself.

FredwardI was checking out the Milwaukee scissors. They come, it appears, in a blister pack.

400m15 years ago I got sick of the way they packaged toys. Now, on Christmas morning, I have my plastic tub next to me that has all kinds of batteries and a pair of sheet metal shears. I’ll never again have Christmas without them.
