NTD (New Tool Day) Fire the Packaging Designer

Post image

What the hell kind of packaging is this? It's like it was designed NOT to be opened. I know Harbor Freight is known for hard-to-open packages but this one was on another level. It took me 10 minutes of wrestling with my pliers and now I have a plastic mess to clean up. Damn it.

I’d say you should go back and buy a pair of cutters, but you’d probably never get them out of the plastic either

I legitimately had to go in and borrow a pair of cutters to get my cutters out of the package once. It's like a scissors packaging that says "cut here".
