Chainsaws? Tin snips? Any ideas?

I think I heard/read somewhere that more injuries are caused on Christmas day by people opening blister packs than anything else.


If I have them handy, then, yes, tin snips are the way to go... That little serrations that they have grips the plastic well and will even catch the raised edges and cut right through them.
They are the only REALLY safe way to open the things!
