Can't seem to get these to break apart, even using a knife. Anyone found an easy way to break apart?

You know how a small piece of bread put into your brown sugar jar keeps the sugar soft? Try it with these tabs; it works like a dream. Just remember to replace the bread if/when it gets hard.

I used my hand to break them apart. (If your hands aren't strong enough to do this, you might consider wetting them first).

I just break them apart with my fingers, never had a problem. My cats love them & beg for them each morning

I haven't had any problems just snapping them in half with my fingers but I'm guessing you've tried that. My cat will eat them whole. Beyond that I'm not much help:(

I put one in a paper towel and smashed the pill with the handle of a regular butter knife. It took a few hits.

I've never tried cutting them apart but I would think they would fall apart because of how they are made.

They aren't impossible to take apart again if you connect them gently. But it took awhile to put it together. You're probably better off with collapsible cubes.

Just push them in hard. They won't break. Yea it's a bit difficult at first

No I have re-used them numerous times. Use a pair of scissors or a small flat screwdriver and push the tab inwards that clicks when you first clicked them on then pull apart. It is a little stubborn but you won't break them as long as you push the tab onwards first. After you get it open re-trim the laces and snap back together.

I just put my fingernail in between them. Wow though...if yours are that stuck, you might have to use a channel lock pliers.

Turn them straight up and down, then use a small flathead screwdriver to pry it out the first time. I had to use needle nose players to even turn them the first time. After that it opens fine.

It's really hard! I've found that pushing it sideways with my thumbnail rather than trying to pull it open (the way it LOOKS like it should work!) will get it to pop open easiest. Otherwise, prying it open with a butterknife is the easiest on your hands.

I just took apart mine. There's two screws on the sides for the bottom section, two on top in the handle and one on the bottom on the bottom section. Takes those out then just force it apart. It's hard to force apart, but that's the only way.Sorry for the year late reply

1. Grip Phillips head screwdriver tip with your left hand, sort of pinch it into Your skin gently, but firmly at the tips of your fingers. 2. Use your right thumb to press on the blade side safely, pointing it away from you, and pull the end edges apart. (I couldn't get a grip on the little ledge in the middle and have very fragile nails.)

You cannot pull them apart, you must twist them apart: sort of twist them in opposite directions and then when you get them three quarters away from each other you should be able to pull apart like you're breaking a pencil or stick.

No, these scissors do not (easily) come apart. We just wash them with the blades screwed together.

You simply pull them apart (you do need some muscle to do it). Gloves help.

They are very stiff when you first get them. Just keep wiggling them open and then when they do open, just open and close them a few times to loosen them up. If they are really too stiff to open, then wedge something between the handles and twist a little bit to get it started. If still no luck, then find a coin, or a large flat head screwdriver and loosen the flat screw in the center a few millimeters.

Hello, Thank you for your question. I do not believe these can be removed without breaking the item.

I had this exact same problem. They were wedged together and my husband and I pulling together could not get the two pieces to separate. What I ended up doing that finally worked is this: Take two butter knives and stick them under the two tabs pushing them all the way up till you can see the tip of it coming through on the other side. Work them back and form and then start tugging. These seems to dislodge and unstuck it enough so you can get the two pieces apart. They work fine after this! It seems like they got pressed too tightly together during manufactoring or maybe the plastic dimensions are fiting just a bit too snug. I noticed from other reviews that when some people opened their product it was not "stuck" in all the way - whereas mine were completely pressed together where I could not see any of the ribbed bottom part. I think that may be why they became stuck. Hope this helps! We got ours apart!
