    score around the neck of the amp with a hacksaw blade or serated knife. Take some tissues or cloth and then hold the amp in these to protect your hand and snap it. It will break around the score mark. You could also buy an amp opener. I found one on EBAY, they can also be found in chemists and needle exchanges.

    Cover the amp in a towel, use your thumb and press forward on the tip. Make sure you're holding the base firmly. Your hand should look like you're giving a thumbs-up.

    Get some scissors, clean them and start trying to cut the top off while twisting the amp or get an amp opener.

    I know that Jintropin kits come with a little glass cutter that supposedly works like a charm, my friend swears by it.

    Some people say use the pen cap, but for some amps like Farmak, which aren't all very skinny necks, I have to use a can opener. I don't use the actual opener, I use it for the handles and snap the neck between the handles while holding it between a towel. Barbaic, but it works.

    Buy the amp opener. It is worth the $7. Take it from someone who exploded their 1st amp of ICN all over the place trying the pencap method.

    Most amps are really not that hard to open just a little pressure with the thumb on the tip.

    pen caps are the best. but it helps if the neck is scored. Mine have indentations on the side. I hold the base in a nike arm band, so im not fumbling with a towel once amp is open.
