    Is the plan that you are going to use that nail scissor as your main household scissor? When you buy something in a thick blister pack your plan is to awkwardly chew trough the plastic with a tiny and slightly curved nail scissor?

        Yeah, but the point they are making is that this is packaging for nail scissors. So they wouldn’t use those nail scissors on such packaging anyway, so why are they complaining about not having regular scissors if nail scissors wouldn’t help here when already unpacked anyways

        That’s a good way to get cut. Even if you wear gloves, keep the blade sharp and cut away from yourself you still are at risk

      No, I‘m travelling and needed these. It’s not great packaging in general, but even worse when you’re traveling.

    I once bought a tool designed specifically for cutting open that bullshit.

    It came wrapped in that bullshit and I almost lost my shit.

      Yeah, not when you’re travelling. What I find mildly infuriating about this, is that they could’ve just added a little cut so you can open it without tools.

    Pretty sure it does not specify with what to cut. Scissor are always used to depict cutting action, my point is you can use something else to cut that package

      Pretty sure you have to use scissors. The diagram clearly shows a pair of scissors.

        The scissors are used in this context to show that you should cut it open from there in my opinion.

          Nah. This material is impervious to anything other than a pair of household scissors

    Of all the objects in the world, I think this type of packaging has probably cut up my hands more than anything else.

    And I love it when the product is delicate and encased in this plastic fortress… like SD cards.
