You can file it a bit before you snap it. I've busted a few in my day. Lol sucks so bad

You have to snap it quick. Like tearing a band-aid.

Take a file and make a ring around it. It makes a weak point in the glass so it snaps even.

There should be a dot or some sort of mark on the neck, that's the scored point. You want to pull the top back away from the point.

If you're a puss you can put an empty alcohol wipe wrapper over it or use a syringe barrel to break it. Either way, look for the dot, they're only designed to break off in one direction.

Not actually that dumb no. I crushed an amp. Haven't bought another since.

I have seen a friend use a bicep pen cap to do it. Just be fast and decisive about it.

No really, they have a mark on them and break off clean if you pull them the right way. If you don't it will be a mess. Trust me, I leaned the hard way.

They do have a mark on them. That's where ive always filed it a bit. I.remember one time I was holding one to tight while I tried to file it and it crushed. Ughh!!! Lol

I've never filed an amp. Or used any tool to snap them. And Pillar - da fuq is a bicep pen?

Like Cecil said - some amps do have a dot, but not all.

Just pinch the top and bottom with opposite hands close to the spot where it breaks, pinch it tight, and snap it like you're tearing a band-aid.

You can use an empty 30.06 shell or 44mag shell to put over the top and crack open. Works great. Just find what shell fits best and you're set. Hope that helps.
