Ideas on a tool for removing the plastic cap?

[WisGal64]

I have had some of the most stubborn caps on vials. I've been searching for a tool to help.

A can opener, the flat end, is too big, it grabs the entire top. I don't want to open the vial up, I just want to flip the top off. Maybe I'm just a weakling lol

Any tips?

I'm having the same trouble and looking for a tool to make it easier! (Easy would be even better.)

I pop mine off with a metal cuticle pusher

I saw somewhere someone was selling a tool for this. It looked like a small can opener. Can't find where I saw it. I'll post it if I find it.

I should have looked at Amazon before I posted. They have all kinds of options. Just search for vial opener.

I did find a cuticle pusher on Amazon, it works like a charm, the caps go flying but it works lol I think it was Ameano that has one that looks like a can opener, I was thinking it would pull the entire top off though.

It can pop the cap or pull the stopper out depending on where you place the can opener lookin vile opener.

I believe Atomik Labs sells an opener for around 3 or 4 bucks.
