You can buy an amp opner.....

I just put a bic pen cap over the neck of the amp and snap it off some people score the neck first...I dont

You got it. Use a sharpie permanent marker cap - put it over the top of the amp, and slowly apply pressure at a 90 degree angle. works like a charm.

bic pen cap. i score the amp first with a sharp knife. i usually take a paper towel and wrap it around the bottom of the amp in case it does break it my hand. it always pops off no problem

this method always worked for me everytime, and it's a hell of a lot faster than having to score the amp and all that...

get a pair of pliers and some paper towels. put the paper towels around the top of the amp and simply crimp the very top portion of the amp with the pliers. remember, just the top part and i mean the very top unless you want to shatter the amp. the paper towels grap most if not all the glass and this method takes no more than 10 seconds.

as far as glass getting into the amp, it's innevitable that it will happen from time to time. however, i wouldn't worry about sucking any into the syringe as even if you did, the shard would be so small i couldn't imagine your body having any issues breaking it down. i used sus amps many a time back in the day and never once had a problem using this method.
