Cracking Holders

I've tried the screwdriver wedging it in there... I suggest you don't try that. There's a chance that the card gets pinched or bent on the way out, if the screwdriver slips.

I used to use a hack saw... that takes time, and a vice helps.


Best way is screwdriver and hammer, but no wedging the card out. Use the screwdriver as a chisel, work your way around the outer edges. You don't have to bust all the way through... as you work your way around the top will separate enough to allow you to lift it out of the way, and you can pick up the card. With this method there's no tension between the halves as in the twisting screwdriver method... that tension could lead to problems.

I save the little slips. Didn't used to, but now do. Lord only knows what I'll do with them one day... maybe sell 'em on eBay.


Use patience...
