Go buy a 8$ file at the hardwre store. Score the skinny part of the neck. It will pop off clean. I had a bloody mess like yours 3 weeks ago, wasted an amp.

Yeah, just go up to like HQ or Sutherlands, if you have one, or any hardware store and get a file with the smallest teeth you can find. Hold the amp in a bundle of papertowels just in case you do shatter it, hold firmly, but not too tight and saw away around the skinniest part of the neck all the way around. Then hold firmly below where you sawed it, and take the back of your file and tap it until it pops off cleanly. Had to do my Sten amps that way.

I use a old metal can opener, the kind that has the handle you turn to move the opener around the can. There is a little hole on each arm of the twisting mechanism. I slide the ampule tip in the little hole and just pop it. Works every time for me and my friends.

Hey, you may find a stubborn one here and there but for the most part, all you need to do is this: hold the base with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, and flick the narrow top of it with the other. Flicking it with your fingernail several times with short, quick flicks should loosen it up enough to pop it off. I use them at work and that's all we need to do...good luck bro.

I've recently had experience with the amp openers. They suck!!! They're not really sturdy enough to do anything w/o bending, and I ended up losing an amp over it.

There no the Organon INFAR ones are they, come in a pressout strip. If so it's not you they are just very poorly made. Not that I am saying they have no active ingredients though.

I use a file which was included in original packaging of my primobolan amps from Europe. It takes a while with the sustanon to file one side down a bit enough to crack top off, but it works fine. Last week however I forgot to use a kleenex to pop it off and ended up shattering the top part only, cut the shit out of my finger, oh well, the juice was intact at least. I know a guy who uses an electric little filer, circular, fast. Im not this high tech.

after scoring it, wrap the amp with a washcloth or small towel.

then give the amp a quick snap.

never fuct up an amp....knock on ...

I use the file on my Leatherman, but a metal nail file will also do - score the neck in 3 evenly spaced places. The top should easily snap off. Remember that the amps are vacuum packed.
