Easiest Blade Snapper/Disposal Ever

[justn8]

I've never read anybody on here doing this so I thought maybe I'd put it up.

I used to be one of those guys who snapped blades everywhere in my own shop, but they're a pain to clean up and really it's not a safe idea. Then I started snapping them off in popcans or whatever I could find (I lose stuff, so blade snapper things are out of the question, they always vanish). Anyway, now what I do is simple.

Use an empty plastic 500ml water/pop bottle (the new super thin eco-friendly ones aren't as good, since the caps even are super flimsy, but they work). Leave the cap on the bottle, slice a cut in the cap most of the way across the diameter. Now just simply shove the blade in, push the knife down, and use the cap to snap. Snapped blade taken care of. You can also open the cap and throw in any straight edge scraper blades.

Possibly a lame and obvious idea but it's what I do and they're always around.

Not a bad idea. I hate trying to sweep up all the snaps...

you should use a broom instead of your hand.

You should of seen it back when I used to lick the floor clean. Ouch.

I have the same round olfa snapper that I bought for like $2 and have filled/emptied dozens of times. Its pretty beat up, but it still works
