    Yeah, I just actually opened my first amp last night...first one I busted trying to do it without an opener, second one I used the opener from www.get-pinz.com and it was super easy. Opener only costs $7.50.

    How long does an amp opener work for? (The part that scores the glass so it breaks clean)

    I have just been using the handle of a reversable screwdriver and snapping it off.

    i think the pen cap works better that a amp openers. all you need to do is get a nail file and file one side of the amp and place the cap over the top a pop it off

    I ended up using a sharpy marker cap. slid over the top of the amp perfectly, almost like it was made for it. It covers the entire thing. From the advice of others, I filed it down slightly, using the blade on a wine opener. Have broken open the entire batch so far with 0 problems

    Problem is some amps dont have a break line on them. My prop pops easily but the E needs filed. Just file a little and it pops right off.

    amp openers suck because they wear out too quick

    My method: Put scotch tape around the amp head (to prevent glass from shatteriing everywhere)

    hold it on an angle against the edge of my desk and smash hit with my stapler...i do hold the bottom of the amp wit something in case it doest shatter so I dont get cut

    not the most refined method, but works for me everytime

    7 bucks for an amp opener not a big deal, and they pop off like easy and clean everytime. Openers will last for about 80-100 amps.

    congrats.....never ran galinka's but they would be my 6-7th choice for test e....amps are a just an unwanted hassell.....also i travel alot, so 20ml vials much easier than preloading syringes or traveling with 50 amps clanging around in your luggage
