    Put power adapters and fat plugs in the freezer.

    Hi, a small tip.



    Put power adapters and fat plugs in the freezer. This makes the plastic brittle and easier to smash the items open. Thanks for reading.

    Someone here suggested to use the handles of bolt cutters and crack the plastic housing up close to the fulcrum of the handles. I have used this technique and it works really well.
