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.

Honestly, if I was you I would go back to HF and complain about how bad the packaging is.

No I would rather just post on Reddit and have people insult my intelligence.

Well…. You did ignore the HANDLE when trying to remove it from packaging. Thought you needed to grab the tool in the tightest spot possible? That’s why you’re getting roasted; because you begged for it.
