I prefer using a Dremel with a cut-off wheel.
Are you guys talking about opening
dead ones to recover the load-end
cable off them or opening ones that still work and that will be re-closed
at some point?
The latter.
I've been thinking about trying MEK applied
along the seam with swabs.
I can verify that it works. You just have to make sure
to close the
seam up quickly after applying the MEK *sparingly*, and that the seam is
clamped firmly while the plastic rehardens.
Actually I was thinking about using it to *open* these (and similarly sealed
stuff) without resorting to things like hammers, dremel, etc.
That sounds like it would be a mess.
