How to make Evil Childproof caps easy to open

Step 3 Push Down and Turn - 3

If you are concerned about the point that sticks out on the inside there are a couple of things you can do:

DON'T STICK YOUR FINGER IN THERE - well that one's obvious.

Use the next technique the "Toothpick" technique.

On my sample the tip didn't come through very far. On other bottles there has been a longer point. I don't worry about it myself, but I tried using a spoon to bend the tip over, and it worked fine.

Don't use grandma's good silver. Find a sturdy spoon that you wouldn't mind scratching a bit. Heck, you could just tap it with a hammer also. I'm sure a few of you have hammers, right?

You could carefully pull out the liner first. Put in the tack. Bend the point, and put the liner back.

If you really want to use this technique on a container that holds a liquid, removing and replacing the liner is probably a good idea. If you are careful and don't damage the liner, it should still keep it from leaking and it could possibly prevent the metal from reacting with liquid.

I don't have an easy way to remove the liner. I've used a safety pin to lift the edge and it has worked well.

I don't worry about the small point.

But if you do, try the Toothpick technique next.

Thankyou so much. I had some brand new vitamins which i could not for the life of me open, I think the saftey cap may have been broken. Your thumb tack tip worked a treat.
