After getting in on the Big Lots NiMH battery deal, I had about 3 blister packages to open. After 30 minutes, and a lot of coercing(with the old faithful: my Victorinox), I finally had the package open. There must be a better way... and I'm sure someone here knows it. Enlighten me.

On days when it doesn't occur to me to use a utility knife, I like to open them with a bit of Composition B.
I used to use Composition 4 but that tended to make more of a mess.

Nearly cut my finger off trying to open one of them things in the dark. Lots of light and a pair of tin snips.

I hack at them with a good knife or try scissors. Something like garden shears work pretty well.

I completely agree, and right next to that special place, there's a spot for the person who came up w/ the idea of those 3 pieces of tape on DVD packages, I hate them :|
