Those skinny things with the break-off blades are meant for cutting the tape to open cartons - not for much more. John T. Even for that I find them suspect. Set the blade low on the utility knife and you get the same effect with a much better grip. I have a few of the large utility knives around here and they are the only ones I use. Store clerks or warehouse workers often carry a little belt-clip-holster - just a small comfortable thing that can be worn all day, every day - pen, 2-ended Sharpie marker, 6 inch rule, small tape measure, and one of those box cutters .. I hated the tiny skinny ones - more difficult to hang on to - hence more dangerous. This model gives a better grip .. http://tinyurl.com/yxp8hsxb Won't break the bank when you mis-place it, either. ps : you __will__ misplace it ! John T. |

I've done this many times. It's not rocket science.
A box cutter or utility knife works fine. Just be patient. Once you get the blade through it cuts. The problem is holding the ball if you don't have a vice. I have an improvised vice that works okay. |
