I lost my file, so the other night instead of using a file to score the neck of an amp, I used a hack-saw blade. Hold the blade still and run the neck of the amp across it. It is a lot faster than a file. | ||

You found out my secret!! Yes, it works great......and a little more manly than having a little file laying around. j/k ------------------ | ||

I just snap them off usually...Haven't failed me yet either. Sometimes when I'm bored I use my heat vision though...:-) ------------------ [This message has been edited by ManOSteele (edited November 10, 2000).] | ||

I wrap the top/stem in cloth tape. Also known as hockey tape. Take a pair of plyers and snap the little fuckers off. Works like a charm. . .I also like to use the AMP opener I bought at the CVS around the block for 4 dollars. . . It seems to work a lot better than my other idea. GO TO CVS BOYS, ASK FOR AMPULE OPENERS. . .THERE CHEAP AND WORK BETTER THAN ANYTHING. ------------------ | ||

Kodiak, what's CVS? (I don't think I've heard about it since I'm in Canada) Will a regular drugstore carry amp openers? | ||

CVS is just a drugstore. Yes, any quality drug store should have amp openers. |
