New Use for the Can Opener

2008-02-04-canopenersmall.jpg

Christmas is long behind us now but the experience of opening toys in plastic anti-theft packing still gives us nightmares. But we learned this great tip from ReadyMade Magazine...

 
 

Use a can opener (manual, double-edged) to open up that stubborn packaging without losing your temper or your digits. We love this tip (in this month's ReadyMade).

We know there are special tools designed for this purpose but we're doubtful that we would be able to find ours when needed.
