What kind of tool is needed to open the package the package opening tool
comes in?

Exactly.

I got a gift card and decided to get another pair of diagonal cutters.
It is tool I need from time to time and they vanish from the earth around
here for some reason. I have one pair near my workbench. I buy this new
cutter, in bright neon colors so I can SEE it, and get it home. And what
do you know, I needed the other diagonal cutters to cut the new pair of
of its package.

I assume when buying this new package opening tool, you have to take your
life in your hands to open this safety device.

Ironic, eh?

I think this new packaging is to dimwitted shoplifters what
Squirrel-proof
birdfeeders are to Squirrels. I doubt that it works any better against
the shoplifters than the birdfeeders do against the Squirrels.


No, but just as TSA rules don't really do much for safety, it does serve
to **** off the paying customers.

But that's the whole point. If you're pushed to the ****ed point, you
*must* think that they're doing something important. No one would
**** the public off for no good reason, right? The laughter they got
last weekend did wake a few up though. I say, keep it up until they
actually *do* something.
