Removing Tabs for NES Cases: Easiest Way?
Beastman1975:
ive used a dremel with the cutting blade . just have to take you time and not sit in one place to long, cut a bit let cool cut a bit , so as not to melt the plastic also i have a set of these but they dont cut as close http://www.amazon.com/Channellock-358-8-Inch-Cutting-Plier/dp/B00004SBD8/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1357439197&sr=1-4&keywords=nail+cutter

I just use my Dremel with a 1-inch Wood and Metal cutter. It lays flat against the plastic of the case getting a super close cut without any real effort.

A dremel works fast and easy. It makes a mess though. I built myself a little working station from some big cardboard boxes.
SasoriSoren:
I just found a table on the curb a few months ago that was pretty worn and use that. The dremel doesn't make too much mess though, especially once you are in a rhythm. I can bust out 20 cases in about 10 minutes with it.
sniperlobster:
I use an Exacto knife to just loosen up the tabs then grab a pair of pliers and pull them right off...I've done about 20 cases so far because I ran out from other games and only ruined maybe one. It does take a little longer than a dermal but it gets the job done
