Whow! That's soooo easy! OMG - and I use a needle in history ...

Who knew 🤷🏽‍♂️ brilliant I can stop destroying them now. Perfect, thanks lads 👌🏼

I wish I searched for this before destroying the caps on my phone sockets and chipping some plaster off the wall trying to remove them 😆. Great tip!

I've always used a small bit of Insulation tape to get them out. Works a charm and its something you always have nearby or should at least haha. That said I like the blue tac idea, no wasting any tape and reusable. I love this channel and the humour is spot on. Keep up the good work fellas!

Great video Gaz, I've always struggled to get the plastic caps off too. It's really fustrating and I always used to use a screwdrive to get them out, looks like I'm going to have to buy some Blu Tack for when I come across those irritating caps (or not so irritating if you use Blu Tack).
