Cool way to Mod most pill bottles

[gillis]

So my wife is a Pharmacy technician and showed me something cool you can do with most pill bottles that are childproof. You can put them on the edge of a table, slam down on it with your hand, and the big bulky child safety lid pops right off. What is left is a really low profile cap that easily screws on or off. Since I do this do most pill bottles that I use/reuse in my kit I thought I would share. It makes them easier to use in the field especially barring injury to one hand.

Thanks for the tip .I've been wasteing my time cutting them off with my pocket knife.

Also note that: Veterinary pill bottles aren't childsafe... (At least the one I have states that it isn't...

And here I thought that was how you opened beer bottles.

Yeah, but what do you do with a million and one pill bottles, regardless of if they're easy to open? That's the one that has me utterly stumped.

recycle?

[shrapnel]

That, sir, is an affront to everything I know. I have loads of them- there must be something preparedness-related I can use them for, and feel superior about.

Make small bombs out of them?

Figuring each one holds about 2 Oz that would equal 15625 Gal...
Water storage????

Umm they could hold match sticks, tinder, you could play a very tiny game of bowling using em and a big marble?

[shrapnel]

Tinder sounds like a decent idea. You could have, like, a pill bottle bandoleer.

On second thought, I see that going very badly, should one accidentally wander into the crackhead section of town.

I think we're onto something cool here. 50 caliber ball bearing for the bowling ball?

That could work, we just gotta teach the hamsters to bowl, be like the lobster knife fights... without the dickery.

See, I was considering using a pill bottle, one of those 10 for $5 on blak friday home depot flashlights and some silicone caulk to make a ghetto glo-toob. One of these days I might get up the nerve to give it a try....

[Arcana71]

put them on the edge of a table, slam down on it with your hand

Or ask for the easy-open caps.

Little teeny Molotov cocktails.

Right... but that only applies for prescription drug purchases. I can't remember the last time I got prescription drugs. This also applies for over the counter drugs, vitamins, etc.

There are lots of good use for a plastic container in a BOB. (Vaseline soaked cotton balls. Iodine kit. Mixed supplements. Matchstick holder. Pine pith holder. artifact carrier... ex Indian beads arrowheads, flint, steel wool, fishing kit, battery kit, ball bearings for your slingshot, bone craft needle kit, turn them into smoke bombs, the list goes on and on) It's good to at the very least consider the option.

And here all these years I've been using my bench vise to open them.

[silentpoet]

Bear would stick them up his bum to open them.
