You have not experienced this kind of packaging first hand as this is a re-post. Post your own broken scissors and fort knox package and all will be forgiven.

jaygibby22 · 2 months

take a sharp knife and cut around 3 sides of the outer edge, giving you a rectangular flap to open. This is much easier than trying to cut through the thick layer

If you'd had real Fiskars scissors and not cheap fakes that would have not been any kind of problem (they cut through anything).

You have to attack the weak spot. On these packages it is that little hole where it hangs from a hook/rack at the store. Squeeze the package on both sides to make the middle pop up a bit then slide the scissors in there and cut that shit.

the items of value are usually protruding from the surface of the no-cut zone. slice around the edges of the protruding rectangle/square/odd-shape with a mini cardboard cutter and collect item(s) of value.

TheSecondNoel · 2 months

These bitches will cut your finger open too if you're not careful. Seriously, I had to get six stitches from having to open a similar package. My advice to you is just to set it down, walk away, and instead cut whatever object you were hoping to receive from that package, out of your life.

IamSparticles · 2 months

I got one of these packs of scissors/shears at Home Depot a while back. I think I paid $10. The bonus pair on the far left has really short, thick blades. They give you a lot of leverage and control, and cut through bubble packs like butter.

To be fair, these scissors are ancient.

My mom was a teacher, and she had a pair EXACTLY like those back in the 80's. Maybe you should get a fancy pair with Dora on them or something. Sure, I get shit from all the NCO's under me when they see my Dora and Diego scissors, but damnit they work and my daughter bought them for me!

Not this shit again.
Your scissors suck.
Use a knife. (box cutter, kitchen, etc.) Some folks like can openers; they're weird.
Scissors are made up of two knives.
Never cut/slice into the sealed edges. It's just a waste of time.
