That's so ironic that the opener came in a hard to open package 🤣

I guess they want you to experience the pain one more time, so you really appreciate the power of your new purchase.

[edwardhugus]

It's called the plastic surgeon because by the time you're finished, you go to the Emergency Room and meet your plastic surgeon.

[XxMeatShakexX]

Pros say it's well made and sharp and lasts forever

Cons say it's poorly made, dull, and broke in a day

[remb]

It’s like those signs that say “break in case of emergency” but they put the hammer behind the glass

[EidolonandOnly]

Few seconds in and I'm already laughing at how one of those package openers came in a clamshell package.

"Bailey come here."
Bailey being a good girl, coming here.
"Oh no, Bailey, I didn't mean *that here* "

those nephews' & nieces' parents are going to be SO happy with all the voice changer toys :-)

[kheldaur]

I really think the reason I'm hooked on these videos, even though I'm from Finland and don't see these products anywhere, is the charming host. James is entertaining and seems to be really cool. Oh, and the Fiskars is a Finnish brand.

[Dreadjaws]

It's going to be a weird Christmas, with all of James' adult family members getting voice changers as gifts and all the kids getting phone cases.

I work for a company that makes those hard-to-open packages, and yes, part of the design process really does include a discussion on how hard it is to open. 😅 Big box store generally require their packages to either require a tool to open it, or for it to take a certain amount of time and effort to open without a tool - they’re usually aiming for theft-prevention, but I’m convinced some of them are just sadistic 😂

[verenov]

Bailey should definitely continue to accompany you in future video reviews. :)

[Hawkster]

I never realized people had a "process" for opening these. My "method" is brute force through any means to open the goddamn things. Scissors, Knives, anything vaguely sharp, wrenching, whatever will defeat that packaging.

[cujoedaman]

The Plastic Surgeon is one of those items that makes you wonder how it got past the safety stage. I mean, I know knives are sharp and dangerous too, but that thing hits a snag and you push a bit harder right into your hand... ugh..

I think the idea with the Fiskars is the angle of the blades, it keeps the plastic from being shoved into the palm of your hand.

[ferociousgumby]

Any decent pair of scissors will work. But never mind, I love these videos as they have some sort of tranquillizing effect on me (even if they ARE addictive).

[vrydywnnn]

I feel like the plastic surgeon ones are an accident waiting to happen

[jasonharper]

I’ve been using a handheld can opener for years.

[estoylaroca]

All I'm saying James is... you're going to make a lot of parents mad with that microphone toy.
I bet it's going to be one of those toys that's batteries "just died suddenly'.
Or you know, the house was burglarized, and the only thing stolen was the toy.

[cordcutterlifestyleandtech]

The "slit it" and "zipit" seem like the safest options. For usability i would go with the fiskars

[Cassandra_Johnson]

I'll stick with my box cutter. works on everything.
