Use the Pen cap method, and get one of those rubber jar lid openers.

Hold the amp in one hand with the rubber jar lid opener, "or a cloth, but the rubber jar lid gripper works better". Then place the pen cap over the top of the amp that you snap.

Then snap away. This works very well. If its very tough to open. Then score the amp around the breaking point with a razor blade or exato knife a couple of times and try it again. You should have any problems opening them like this

This dude may be a EF newbie, but I like this method...

K to you.

Just an FYI, but there is no way a piece of glass is making it thru the filter on the needle into the syringe. I basically used to just put the amp in a plastic baggie and hold it from the outside (to prevent glass on floor and counter) and I would just smack the amp head with a butter knife. Sounds nuts but it was sure fire that the head would pop and no juice would be lost. Never had a spill at all, which I couldn't say for snapping the amp. With this method, I'd f-up every blue moon. I open with an opener now, but my main point was there would almost always be broken glass in the amp, but it would never make it past the filter on my drawing needle. Only worry you might have is if you draw and shoot with the same needle as some could be needle side of the syringe. Who uses the same to draw and shoot anyway though?
 
I use a normal file that I buy from the hardware store. I then score the Amps at 3 o clock and 9 o clock (as you look at the Amps - not the actual time of day itself lol!!!) and this works just as well as any other.
 
filing/scoring is too damn much work........just snap the head of the lil' sukka!!

perhaps we are better at doing that here in "da south"............snapping the heads offin' crawfish is second nature to many of us here in the swamps.

I lived down there for over a year(actually Belle Chasse) and I never did get the hang of eating those bastards.

Someone once suggested this method and I had used it a couple times untill one amp shattered in my hand.

Here's a method that works well for me:

Take a towel or a bunch of toliet paper in one hand and take the amp with the other hand and place in towel. Then make a :Thumbs up: with the towel and amp in it. Hold the bottom of the amp with your index and middle finger, then take your thumb and press forward/upward in a quick and swift motion. The neck should SNAP right off.

Is this confusing? :coffee:

only filter needles have filters... not all needles...
no offense, but your way sounds retarded.
one reason i love turkish primos... just look at the amp, aim the blue dot towards you, and snap away from you. no tools, no mess, no bullshit, the amps come prescored on one side.
otherwise i use a serrated kitchen knife to score the amp, not hard, not even enough to make a noticeable line, just spin the amp in the serrated edge a couple of times and snap away. i draw w/an 18 when using amps
